Move-In Day - July 28th, 2001
The Hass Technical Center for Computer-controlled Machining supports teaching and research on computer-controlled machining, as well as the fabrication of equipment for projects and research. A lathe with live tooling, as well as smaller lathes and mills and including two vertical machining centers, were selected to accommodate a wide variety of applications. These machines, partly paid for by a grant from Fleet Asset Management, Trustee of the Elizabeth A. Lufkin Trust, arrived July 28th, 2001 and were placed into their new homes in the Washburn Shops and the Robotics Laboratory.
Our new Minimills arrive.
Unwrapping a Minimill for placement into its new home.
The Haas SL-10, Mini CNC Turning Center needs a bigger entrance than the Minimills
Vertical Machining Center definitely needs the bigger entrance.
Carefully maneuvering a Minimill past a tight-squeeze in the Washburn Hallways.
Fitting the minimill through a tight squeeze (even after the doors are taken out) into its new home, Washburn Shops.
Almost done, as a Minimill is carefully lowered into position.
Two of the Minimills settled into their new, permanent home in Washburn Shops.
The two Vertical Machining Centers find their home in the Robotics Laboratory.
