MACH2504

This course will advance learners' operational capabilities of Computer Numeric Control (CNC) Vertical Milling Centers (VMCs) and Turning Centers (TCs). Students will continue to learn the word address system as applied to VMCs and TCs. Students will plan machining operations. They will set up and operate equipment to machine parts they manually or Computer Assisted Machining (CAM) programmed. Students will safely prove their programs and setups using simulation, single block and machine offsets with the end goal of producing quality first run parts.Student Learning Outcomes

• Program straight line external and internal contour milling and turning with and without cutter compensation.
• Program drilling, tapping, threading, and boring with and without canned cycles.
• Program bolt patterns and pocket milling with and without canned cycles.
• Load and set up work holding devices for VMCs and TCs.
• Choose appropriate tooling and work holding devices from multiple styles of VMC and TC work.
• Load and set up work holding devices in VMCs and TCs.
• Load, locate, and input tool offsets into VMCs and TCs.
• Locate and input work offsets into VMCs and TCs.
• Safely prove their programs and set ups using simulation, single block and machine offsets to produce quality first run parts.
