MPRO 107 - CNC Operations
PROGRAM: Manufacturing Production and Operations
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 3
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019
Introduces the basic concepts of computer numerical control (CNC) operations as they exist in a manufacturing environment. Skills in setup and operation of a CNC mill and lathe will be acquired using multiple machine tool controllers.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Identify the three axes of the Cartesian coordinate system.
- Define incremental coordinates.
- Explain absolute coordinates.
- Identify the axes for the vertical milling machine.
- Identify the axes for the turning center.
- Determine positive and negative directions along axes.
- Select proper personal protective equipment required for machining tasks.
- Identify the difference between machine zero and program zero on a CNC machine tool.
- Determine the work offsets and tool geometry offsets for a CNC program.
- Identify G codes used to determine the mode of tool movement.
- Determine proper modes to return all axes safely back to machine zero.
COURSE CONTENT: Topical areas of study include -
- Machining safety procedures
- Wear offsets
- Tool offsets
- Machine zero and program zero
- Cartesian coordinate system
- CNC operational modes
- M and G codes
- Basic CNC controller models
- CNC control panel operations
