Project Gallery

Pictured here are examples of different-sized projects designed and built by the Campus Machine Shop. We complete projects of all sizes, from simple modifications to a single part, to the design, machining, and assembly of complex scientific instruments.  What can we build for you?

Reactor Stand

This reactor stand was designed and built for a postdoctoral research and graduate student in CEE.  It holds up to four Parr reactors suspending water samples in a fluidized, heated sand bed, under high temperatures and pressures.  His research group is studying processes that destroy PFASs in the water supply.

Neutron Detector Mount

The Campus Machine Shop designed and built 65 copies of this low-profile mount for neutron detectors (shown in beige), installed in the TRIUMF particle accelerator center in Canada.  For scale, each detector is about 20 inches long by 8 inches in diameter, and weighs about 20 pounds.  The mount provides gross vertical adjustment of ±50° and several degrees of both vertical and horizontal adjustment.  Another design requirement is that the center of rotation is out at the detector face during fine aiming adjustments.  

Tiny Parts

The Campus Machine Shop makes tiny parts too!  These stainless steel triangles are 0.025″ think with sides a little over an eighth of an inch long.
