Mechanical Automation Systems Engineering

Mechanical Automation Systems Engineering - Level 1
36 hours
Registration, Pricing and Class Availability

Level 1 - Concepts

Prerequisites: "Mechanical Design - Machining" (Or similar experience)

* This is part 1 of a two part series and students signing up for "Level 1 - Concepts" should be prepared to continue onto "Level 2 - Implementation"
Mechanical Automation Systems Engineering - Level 2

This is a new course that expands on topics from the current "Mechanical Design - Machining" course, taking it further into the inner workings of computer controlled machinery. CNC (Computer Numeric Control) is used throughout the manufacturing industry and with robotics and mechatronics becoming even more common, having skilled people in the design, fabrication and integration of these systems is imperative. The shop of the future won't necessarily be ran by robots; the shop will be the robot. Custom built for it's specific purpose.

The class will focus on understanding concepts and devices surrounding CNC machining but will include discussions on other robotic implementations in the field, such as PLCs, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, open source software, and various companies where you can acquire these devices.

Topics in Level 1 are:

- What is CNC
- Stepper motors
- Breakout boards and controllers
- Hardware drivers
- Wiring
- Torque requirements
- Various controller software (specifically open source)

* This is a very unique course that covers a broad range of skills so be prepared for several different areas of study. Computer hardware, electrical, mechanical motion, wood working, welding, software, 3D printing, 3D design and machining are all a part of this process of automation.
