SMDI 140 - Mechanical Systems in Mfg
PROGRAM: Smart Manufacturing and Digital Integration
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall 2022
This course will continue the study of mechanical systems through the installation and adjustment of mechanical drive systems. The use of various methods for adjustment will be a focal point of the course. The calculation of horsepower, torque, tension, and measurement/adjustment of softfoot are just a few of the topics that will be discussed. While working on these systems, safety will be emphasized as it is on a daily basis in real-world environments. Students will complete hands-on labs, virtual simulations, projects, and critical thinking assignments to help prepare for SACA C-210 Certified Industry 4.0 Mechanical Systems 1 certification exam.
