Introduction to CNC Programming

Catalog description

Introduction to CNC Programming prepares the student to write basic programs for CNC turning and CNC vertical milling machines. Application of the Cartesian coordinates system is taught along with programming format. The CNC vertical milling center students will write basic programs using linear and rapid moves, circular interpolation, geometry offsets, and a variety of canned cycles. CNC turning portion of the course will require the student to write programs that include linear and rapid moves, circular interpolation with tool nose radius compensation, canned cycles, and threading cycles.
