MACH 205 Multi-Axis Programming5 credits
Students will be introduced to multi-axis processes including 4th axis milling, axial and radial live tooling, and programming. These part-program files can then be output as functional CNC G-code programs. Students will virtually verify toolpaths before running programs on the machine.
Prerequisites: MACH 155 or instructor permission based on work experience
Corequisites: MACH 107 or MACH 117 or MACH 137 or MACH 207
Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Create, modify, and manage more complex 2D wireframes from part drawings
- Create, modify, and manage more complex 3D solid model geometry from part drawings
- Calculate appropriate multi-axis speeds and feeds
- Create, modify, and manage multi-axis Work Coordinates Systems (WCS)
- Manage Multi-axis Construction Planes and Graphics Views
- Organize multiple machining operations and their various toolpaths
- Create 3D toolpaths
- Calculate appropriate cutting depth vs radial engagement
- Verify toolpaths to check for errors and crashes
- Generate and edit G-Code programs for use on various CNC machines
College-Wide Learning Outcomes
This course teaches to the college-wide learning outcome of Information Literacy, the ability to recognize when information is needed, to choose the appropriate tools to locate the required information, and to effectively gather and evaluate the information.
