MACH 117 Turning Setup and Operation10 credits
Students will learn and practice how to safely set up and operate a 2-axis CNC lathe for prototype and production runs. They will maintain acceptable tolerances of completed parts, manage coolant, keep a clean and organized workspace, read and write tie-in and setup sheets, use SPC, troubleshoot error codes, and use various basic machine functions. Instruction will cover setting tool offsets, fixture offsets, troubleshooting, MDI, hand jog, dry run, distance-to-go, and fixturing.
Prerequisites: ABED 46 (or placement into ENGL 93 or higher) and MATH 87 (or placement into MATH 98 or higher)
Program Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Maintain a safe working environment
- Select proper measuring tool per selected tolerance/feature
- Set and check X and Z offsets for each tool and edit cutter compensation
- Set and check fixture offsets
- Demonstrate proper ‘safe approach’ of a tool during a dry run
- Demonstrate control and understanding of various CNC machines
- Manage CNC alert codes and messages
- Upload and manage G Code programs into CNC machines
- Determine appropriate depth of cut vs radial engagement cutting amounts
