World Skills Competition

Other than working as a teaching staff in Singapore Polytechnic, I also serve as a judge in World Skills Competition. In 2007, World Skills Competition was held in Shizuoka, Japan. In 2009, it was hled in Calgary, Canada. I attended both events and I would like to share some photos that I took during these two occasions.


WSC2009: On the last day of competition, there is a group competition. A few countries join hand-in-hand in a friendly match.

The following two photos are quite interesting. During the competition, one competitor didn't clamp the workpiece tight enough and the workpiece flied off. The damage was so bad that one jaw on the 3-jaw chuck was disloged.



The whole workpiece flied out of the 3-jaw chuck; hit on the back panel of the machine; break through the back panel and landed at the back of the machine.
