Development of research instruments has always been an integral part of Bose Institute’s academic cultutre. All the Instruments of J. C.Bose were deigned as well as fabricated in-house. This tradition continues even tioday which makes  the Workshop a crucial department of Bose Institute. Workshop plays a vital role to fulfill the stringent requirements of our Institute ranging from the fabrication of the Instruments to the maintenance of electrical installation. Presently, Bose Institute workshop consists of different branches: i) Mechanical unit  ii) Carpentry section iii)  Store iv) Transport  v) Refrigeration Unit. vi) and finally Electrical unit (both at Main Campus and at Centenary Campus).

 

i)               Mechanical unit – This section is actively involved in designing, development, and repair of the instruments as per the requirement of internal scientist, officers of our Institute and as per the requisitions provided by various renowned institutions of our country. The Workshop consists of a few numbers of Lathe, Shaping Machine, Drilling Machine, Grinding Machine etc.

 

ii)             Carpentry Section- This section deals with all furniture manufacturing, repairing jobs etc., as per the requirements of Scientists, officers etc. This section also provides its valuable effort for fabrication of various scientific model, instruments etc.

 

iii)          Store-  Store maintains the materials (Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Building and furniture related materials)  required for various fabrication jobs, maintenance job for all seven campuses.

 

iv)            Transport: - Workshop Office deals with the allocation of internal transports as per requirement of Scientists, internal officers, outside guests etc. Except this outside transports are being utilized as per requirement when internal transports are not affordable.

vi)            Refrigeration Unit: - The refrigeration section of Workshop directly monitored by the work shop office and the unit deals with installation, maintenance, and servicing of the room air conditioners, cold room etc. with the help of outside technicians if needed.

 

vii)          Mechanical Section:- This section is actively involved in design, development, and repair of the instruments as per the requirement of internal scientist, officers of our Institute and as per the requisitions provided by various renowned institutions of our country. The shop consists of a few nos. of Lathe, Shaping Machine, Drilling Machine, Grinding Machine, milling machine etc. In this section different types of work are carried out by using different metals like stainless steel, aluminium etc. Different types of machining , turning, drilling work including the critical & innovative works are taken care of by this section. All sorts of fabrication & sheet metal work of intricate design & innovative nature as well as allied works are carried out by this section. The section also has the potential to carry out the fabrication of different instruments by using Perspex.
