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 AHSE 66 (or placement into MATH 98 or higher)
Corequisites: MACH 151 or MACH 153 or MACH 155 or MACH 205
