CAM: Computer Numerical Control Turning. 3.0 Credits. Class-1.0. Clinical-0.0. Lab-4.0. Work-0.0

Catalog description

This course introduces Computer Numerical Control graphics programming and concepts for turning center applications. Emphasis is placed on the interaction of menus to develop a shape file in a graphics CAM system and to develop tool path geometry and part geometry. Upon completion, students should be able to develop a job plan using CAM software, including machine selection, tool selection, operational sequence, speed, feed, and cutting depth. Students will write transfer machine code from CAM graphics to the CNC turning center.
