Engineering

Harvester’s Engineering program boasts state-of-the-art technology and equipment enabling students access to both world class teaching and world class facilities. 

 

The modern Engineering workshop at Harvester Technical College is state-of-the-art.  The centre boasts $500,000 AUD worth of industrial “real life” machines, equipment and tools. The manually operated 3 phase machinery in the HTC engineering inventory consists of 6 large lathes, 3 large pedestal drills with rigid tapping capabilities and 1 large knee mill.

All machines are fitted with DRO’s (digital readouts) and are capable of running fluid coolant. Engineering is also home to many advanced manufacturing machines totalling a ¼ of million dollars. These are fully automatic subtractive and additive computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines such as two 3D printers, HAAS SMM2 mill, HAAS ST10 lathe, PlasmaCAM machine, Epilog laser and a Roland MDX40 and sticker machine.

Apart from its machining capabilities, engineering also has the ability for steel and aluminium fabrication. A full range of sheet metal and welding processes are possible at our centre including MIG, TIG, ARC & Oxy welding and a plasma nitride coated Siegmund Welding Table.
