Project 07 Model Transfer Line

The model was initially built as a trade show demonstration unit showing how the NATCO line for machining cylinder heads operates. At the time, this machinery was used in industry 2.0 and 3.0. It was created as one of the earliest automation forms that produced many products. The model is now inoperable at the Bechtel Innovation Design Center. Our team's goal is to restore this model to be used for teaching and learning about the evolution of the manufacturing process.​
