List Machines and Devices:
| No | Equipment/ Professional software | Picture | Courses/Documents/Videos |
| 1 | Conveyor and palletsThe conveyor frame is constructed of extruded, black, anodized aluminum.
A double flexible chain moves in the inner and outer rail and moves the pallets by friction. The pallets are not removed from the conveyor to increase the efficiency of part conveyance. |
 |
|
| 2 | Automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS)The ASRS storage station includes a floor-mounted storage unit with 72 storage cells arranged in two facing stacks containing materials/products, a Cartesian robot to transfer parts between storage cells and conveyor pallets at the ASRS station |  |
|
| 3 | Scorbot ER-9 PROThe Scorbot which is used in the CIM system is the Scorbot ER 9 Pro. It moves in polar coordinate with a 1.9 m/sec speed corresponding to 6 degrees of freedom. |  |
|
| 4 | CNC BenchMill 6000The BenchMill 6000 is a PC-based benchtop CNC machining center enabling robust CNC and advanced manufacturing instruction
CNC Milling Technology introduces the fundamentals of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling by working with a variety of machining applications with the BenchMill 6×00. The machining center features an intuitive software interface and conforms to industrial EIA, ISO, Fanuc, and G&M code standards. |
