John Wood Community College Manufacturing Expo
October 02, 2015
A group of 22 juniors and seniors from Pleasant Hill High School attended the John Wood Community College Manufacturing Expo Friday, Sept. 25th. The students toured Gates Air, a Quincy-based manufacturing facility that produces equipment for television communications transmitters. The students saw all aspects of the manufacturing process, from custom-cutting sheet metal to fabricating cabinets that house transmission components. The students also ate lunch at the JWCC Workforce Development Center and enjoyed touring several classrooms and lab areas of the college. They saw presentations about the hydraulics and robotics equipment JWCC uses to teach manufacturing students, along with the CNC operations and CAD/3-D printing training equipment. The tour concluded with a demonstration on a Lincoln Electric virtual welder, which all students were given an opportunity to try.
