16-Jun-2022
On 15th June, 2022, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering in association with KCTU, IEI, ISTE, FLAMES and IIC organized a Hands-on Workshop on 'Robotic Welding' at COE Robotic Welding in order to enhance the skills of Students, Staff and local MSME's.
This Workshop started with the inauguration ceremony where Dr. Manjappa S, Director-R&D and Consultancy spoke on the importance of gaining future skills and also motivated the students and staff to make the best use of this opportunity. Dr. Rajesha S, Principal shared anecdotes of his life and threw light on how best one can utilize this opportunity. He further emphasized on using the Centre of Excellence (COE) to upgrade knowledge from time to time. Dr. Rathishchandra Gatti, Head-Dept. of Mechanical Engineering spoke about the need of conducting these workshops and also the reason behind establishing the COE. Prof. Abhishek K, Convener of the Workshop gave the essence of the workshop.
Post inauguration, hands-on sessions on MIG & TIG Robotic welding machines were held. Participants were made to practice different aspects of Robotic welding like job setting, robotic programing, parameter setting etc.
Centre of Excellence - Robotic welding is the state of the art facility at Sahyadri which mainly focuses on Robotic welding. The COE is supported by Karnataka Council for Technology Upgradation (KCTU), Bengaluru. At present, the COE is in-housed with 6axis MIG & TIG Robotic welding.
