MACH 207 Multi-Axis Setup and Operation10 credits
Students will be introduced to multi-axis setup and operation including 4th-axis milling, turning centers with axial and radial live tooling. Students will set tools and offsets using built-in probing, verify all toolpaths before cutting, and safely run multi-axis parts in short production runs.
Prerequisites: MACH 107 or MACH 117 or MACH 137 and at least MACH 151 or instructor permission based on work experience
Corequisites: MACH 153 or MACH 155 or MACH 205
Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Maintain a safe working environment
- Set and check fixture offsets in various ways
- Set and check tool length offsets from various references
- Check setups using indicators and other inspection methods
- Edit cutter compensation
- Demonstrate proper ‘safe approach’ of a tool during a dry run
- Verify and safe dry run programs
- Demonstrate control and understanding of various CNC machines
- Manage and troubleshoot CNC alert codes and error messages
- Upload and manage G Code programs into CNC machines
- Determine appropriate depth of cut vs radial engagement cutting amounts
- Monitor coolant levels
- Utilize various G-Code commands in MDI mode to achieve various CNC functions/actions
- Inspect finished parts for size and quality
- Apply safe use of hand-jog mode on CNC machine to avoid multi-axis hand jog crashes
