Mitutoyo America Corporation Partners with Atlantic Technical College



Mitutoyo America Corporation, a provider of measurement and inspection solutions, has partnered with Atlantic Technical College in Broward County, FL, as a major supplier and supporter of its Machining Technology course.

Atlantic Technical College is a magnet school and one of three technical colleges, which are all part of the entire Broward County Public School System. The campus trains junior and senior high school students and adults during the day program. The college also runs a machining apprenticeship program in the evening.

The Machining Technology Class provides students with an industry overview; teaches how to set up and operate machines, including CNC machines, micrometers and gauges; and provides the basics of CNC programming, use of CAD/CAM processes and set-up and performance of advanced level machining.

"We have seen an increased interest in the program over the last few years, as more students recognize that a trade can be a great long-term career," said Kevin Finan, Machining Technology Instructor. "The program is a great opportunity to learn a skill set that is very much needed today." Finan has been an instructor for eight years after working in the industry for 25 years. The program can accept 24 high school students (split between juniors and seniors) and 12 adult students every school year.

Finan was looking to improve the equipment in his classes and specifically wanted to add a CMM to the program. The Mitutoyo MiSTAR 555, which is the company's newest, fastest and most compact shop floor CNC CMM, is especially suited for students.

Matt Dye, President of Mitutoyo America Corporation, said, "Precision measurement provides critical data for improving the manufacturing process, which is why Mitutoyo has a strong focus on helping educate the workforce and future generations at all experience levels. We are excited to support programs such as Atlantic Technical College. This course work will provide invaluable training and help lay the foundation for a successful career path."

Finan worked directly with Mitutoyo America distributor Chris Sudetic, from Measurement Supply Company to purchase and install the MiSTAR 555 and provide support throughout the process.

The class also works with other Mitutoyo tools and equipment on the shop floor, including a wide variety of micrometers, calipers, height gauges and other measuring instruments.

"I love working with schools because the future is right here on this shop floor. It has been especially gratifying to see so many adults learn new skills and find a whole new career for themselves," Sudetic said. "I totally appreciate a machine trades program that has a large portion of its curriculum dedicated to metrology-everything from basic hand tool measurement to CMMs measuring 3D data. We need more of these types of facilities to help fill the multitude of open quality control jobs throughout the manufacturing sector."

Mitutoyo has a long-standing tradition of working with institutes of higher learning. The company has established relationships with trade schools, two- and four-year programs around the United States and continually look for ways to contribute to the advancement of manufacturing in the U.S. In addition, Mitutoyo America has developed many online training resources that can be found at www.mitutoyo.com.
