CNC Programming/Operations

Catalog description

Introduces the fundamentals of computer applications as an aid to machining processes. Emphasizes engineering drawing analysis, the use of trigonometry and other mathematical methods to determine programming points, interpretation of implied part dimensions, determination of machining parameters, and calculation of speeds, feeds, and tool offsets. Covers the establishment of work zero and tool home positions. Includes manual programming of computer numerical control (CNC) machines using G‑codes, tooling and setup of CNC lathes and milling machines for machining operations, verification of toolpaths through simulation, and operation of CNC machines to produce mechanical parts.
