MTTC 237 - Multi-Axis CNC I PREREQUISITES: Demonstrated competency through appropriate assessment or earning a grade of “C” or better in ENGL 0XX and MATH 0XX and MTTC 220 - CAD/CAM I . PREREQUISITES/COREQUISITE: MTTC 220 - CAD/CAM I .
PROGRAM: Machine Tool Technology CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3 LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2 LAB HOURS MIN: 2 DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019
Introduces multiple axes CNC machining on the Swiss Lathe, Mill/Turn Lathe, Multi-axis lathe, 5 Axis Mill, Multi-axis Wire EDM. This course allows students to explore concepts surrounding operation, setup, programming, and quality as applied to a wide range of Multi-axis CNC machines.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Describe the differences between CNC turret style lathes and Swiss lathes, driven tool turret lathes, including VDI turrets, carousel tool holders, and random-access magazines. [a]
- Consistently demonstrate proper programming format and techniques including G-codes and M-codes unique to the Swiss, and multi-axis codes in Fanuc, including codes unique to some machine tool builders. [a]
- Knowledge of part materials, including ferrous, nonferrous, machinable polymers. [a]
- Show competence in process sequencing for successful manufacturing. [a]
- Show competence in setup of tooling for successful machining from part print. [a,b]
- Show competence in choice of bar size, shape, holding, and feeding methods. [a]
- Troubleshoot program and machining problems. [e]
- Display knowledge of basic machining concepts including machinability as they relate to multiple axes CNC machining on the Swiss Lathe, Mill/Turn Lathe, Multi-axis lathe, 5 Axis Mill, Multi-axis Wire EDM. [a]
