MACH 107 Conversational Programming, Production, and Inspection10 credits
Students will learn the basics of conversational programing on ProtoTRAK mills and lathes. Students will practice feature-based machining, tool selection, calculate speed and feeds, dry run and run simple programs to produce milled and turned parts. Students will gain experience making parts in a CNC machine shop environment. Students will run milled and turned parts, check for precise dimensional accuracy, troubleshoot error codes monitor coolant levels, adjust cutter compensation and set tool length offsets.
Prerequisites: ABED 46 (or placement into ENGL 93 or higher) and MATH 87 or AHSE 66 (or placement into MATH 98 or higher)
Corequisites: MACH 151 or MACH 153 or MACH 155 or MACH 205
