Abstract
The knowledge of the different machines operation and their main mechanism has a great importance in mechanical engineer formation. Thus, in the manufacturing field, it is essential to understand the behaviour and basic principles of the machine tools. This paper presents some experiences developed by the manufacturing teachers of the University of Malaga to facilitate teaching of a high number of common machine-tools in mechanical engineering such as lathes, milling machines, drill press, planers or shapers. For this, a lot of technological data have been compiled to recreate the mechanical configurations, with more than 300 pieces in several cases, resulting in a virtual environment. Actually, the high number of students in the Engineering Faculties, the limited availability of these machines in laboratories and the difficulty to visualize the internal mechanisms show that the virtualization of this machine tools, presented in this work, provide an effective mean to transmit knowledge to the Engineering students, serving as an essential complement in the study of motion transmission mechanisms. In order to achieve greater effectiveness, each education project is enclosed with a guide where students can follow the operation of the machine tools in each virtualization.
