Farm Machinery Laboratory

The farm machinery laboratory is facilitated with basic and advance farm equipment. This lab has agricultural machines like tractors, power tillers and allied tools like ploughs, sowing/planting/ transplanting machines, power weeder, sprayer, reapers and thrashers. The smart farm machinery chamber is sponsored by Dassault software like SOLIDWORKS and CATIA.

Objectives of the Laboratory

To enable students:

  1. Learn basic and advanced techniques used in agricultural machinery
  2. Learn the operation and maintenance of basic and advanced agricultural machinery
  3. Compete in the field of farm machinery and power engineering.
  4. Develop sensor-based smart agricultural machines or equipment for the farmer community.

Outcomes

The students

  1. Being able to design and operate the agricultural machine.
  2. Being skilled in developing the 3D model and simulating the agricultural machine.
  3. Being able to fabricate the agricultural machine.
  4. Wide scope of Research and Development and awareness on the same.

Caters to

BTech, MTech, Skills for Success (SFS) and Domain Courses. The lab serves as state-of-the- art facility for research scholars: PhD and Research fellows.

The students will be able to carry on hands on experiential learning on machine tools like tractors, hoes along with fault diagnostics and condition monitoring.
