 Introduction
Abstract:
This experiment was carried out to gain an understanding of the many types of mechanical
lab machines and tools (such as non-precision or bench hand tools, semi-precision tools,
precision tools, and so on) as well as the function of each lab as well as the safety measures to
operate the machine. This experiment will assist us in determining which machine we may
employ at which exact moment to get the required outcomes. The study, design,
development, building, and testing of mechanical and thermal sensors and devices, such as
tools, engines, and machines, is known as mechanical engineering. Machining is a
manufacturing technique that involves removing undesirable material from raw materials
using a machine.

Objectives:

 To observe the Mechanical Engineering lab

 To familiarize with the Machines, present in the Eng.- lab
 To familiarize with the Tools present in the Eng.- lab
 To draw the layout of the Eng.-lab
 Safety Rules and Regulations for working in Mechanical Eng.- lab

Theory
Mechanical Engineering Laboratory (Mechanical workshop):

It is a place where machining operations are performed. Machining is a manufacturing

process in which the raw material is processed by removing unwanted material with the
help of machinery.
The main purpose of engineering workshop lab is to impart the basic know-how of various
tools and their applications in different sections of manufacturing industry. This workshop is
also helpful in acquiring skills involved in safe use of engineering workshop machines and
equipment’s, and to gain the fundamental knowledge of common manufacturing processes.
This lab also helps in understanding the complexity of the industrial job, along with time
management and skills requirements of the job. Mechanical workshop requires machine
work as well as use of Hand Tools and Equipment’s.

Machines
 Lathe machine
 Shaper machine
 Universal milling machine
 Floor standing drill machine:
 Floor standing tool grinder:
Power Hack Saw;
Power hacksaws are used to cut large sizes (sections) of metals such
as steel. Cutting is very hard work with a normal hand held hacksaw.
Therefore, power hacksaws have been developed to carry out the
difficult and time-consuming work.

 Safety Rules & Regulations
During working in Mechanical Engineering Lab, the following safety rules must
be followed.

 Physically and Mentally Preparation:

Safety procedures actually start before you come to work in Eng. lab, you are
responsible for your own safety and safety of others Being physically and mentally
ready to work in the Lab. How do you feel? Are you tired? When you are tired, have
pain or are stressed out it is difficult to concentrate and accidents can occur. Fooling
around, joking, running, pushing, or wandering away from the group without
permission are all safety violations.

 Clothing, Jewelry and Long Hairs:

Do not wear loos clothing, Jewelry, Neckties, Watches or clothing with strings/fringe
that could become caught in machinery. Roll long sleeves above the elbow. Long hair
should be tied back before entering the lab. Only a machinist’s apron with
breakaway straps or a lab coat is permitted.

 Food drink and Smoking:

Food, Drink, alcohol or drugs and smoking is strictly forbidden in laboratory.

 Eye protection:
Wear safety glasses or appropriate goggles/face shields at all-time in the lab weather
working or not. Eye protection is protective gear for the eye, which comes in many
types depending upon the threat that is to be reduced. The threats can be particles,
light, wind blast, heat, sea spray or some type of ball or puck used in sports.

 Ear protection:
Ear protection refers to devices used to protect the ear, that are ear plugs or ear
muffs, either externally from elements such as cold, intrusion by water and other

7
 environmental conditions, or specifically from noise of machines like punch press,
pneumatics chisels or power hacksaws.

 Hand Protection:
Safety gloves should be used for handling hot objects, glass or sharp-edge items.
Remove gloves before operating rotating machinery. Never clean away chips with
your hands use a brush. Do not touch moving or rotating parts.

 Foot Protection:
Foot protect are required where the potential for serious injury to the foot may
result from a person’s daily job duties. Foot injuries may occur in areas where there
is rolling or falling objects, objects piercing the sole, or where feet are exposers to
electrical hazards. Use work boots, if street shoes are permitted, they should have
closed toe, a thick rubber sole, and laces should be tied securely

 Electrical safety:
Always check to see that the power switch is OFF before plugging and unplugging
into the outlet. You have to know about where the emergency cutoff breaker in lab.
Switch off the machine after completion of work. All maintenance and repair work
should be done with the power off, if any work requires power on, extreme care
should be taken.

 First aid box:

You have to know about were the First aid box in the lab to provide the first aids in
case of any injury.

 Focusing on Your Work and Knowing about the tools:

Do not use any tool until you have been checked out on the operation of the tool.
Tools must be used for the purposes in which they are intended. Uses other than the
intended purpose is a safety violation. Your careless work can lead to injuring
yourself or other people.

 A clean workspace leads to a safe workspace:

A clean work place is a safe work place. Whenever you complete your work in lab at
any machine or working table immigrate clean your work area. Never clean away
chips with your hands use a brush.

Conclusion
To summarize, the experiment is carried out in order to gain an overview of the many
machines (such as the lathe machine, shaper machine, universal milling machine, and floor
standing drill machine) present in the mechanical engineering lab and to determine the
purpose of each equipment. To become acquainted with tools such as non-precision or
bench hand tools, semi-precision tools, precision tools, and so on. In addition, you should be
aware of the safety norms and regulations for working in a mechanical engineering lab.
