Certificate of Achievement (Transcripted): CNC Milling Machine Set Up and Operation

Reading and interpreting blueprints for manufacturing technologies (Same as Engineering 111.)

Drawing interpretation utilizing geometric dimensioning and tolerancing per ASME Y14.5M (formerly ANSI Y14.5M) as applied in engineering, manufacturing, and inspection. Suggested preparation: prior course or experience in drafting with conventional dimensioning and tolerancing. (Same as Engineering 114)

Ratios and proportions, formulas, measurements (linear, surface, and volume), geometric construction, and right triangles. Basics of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry for the manufacturing industry.

Fundamental operations on lathes, milling machines, grinders, and drill presses, including precision measurements and layout. Equips students with skills and theory necessary to enter or upgrade within the machinist trade. (Same as Engineering 158).

Introductory course for manual CNC program writing. This course will include coordinate system, absolute/incremental programming, circular interpolation, cutter radius compensation, canned cycles, and program formatting.

Experience in planning, setup and machining of a wide variety of projects using all machine tools. Students will build upon the skills and theory gained in beginning and advanced Manufacturing Technology classes or by on-the-job experience.

Computer assisted numerical control programming of machine tools using Mastercam software. Creation of 2D-part geometry. 2D-part programming including contouring, pocketing, drilling, and tapping.

Setup and operation of numerically controlled mill with emphasis on the application of the Fanuc controlled machine and CNC machining methods used in the industry. This course provides students with hands-on training in CNC mill machine setup and operation. Emphasis is placed on proper tooling, machine preparation, workholding, and safe operation of CNC mill. Students must enroll in one of the MNFG 096 lab sections concurrently. The lab requires 1.5 hours per week (0.5 unit), for a total of 27 scheduled lab hours per semester to earn credit.

A supplemental learning assistance course that provides supervised use of laboratory equipment for students enrolled in CNC machine courses to complete machine setup and operation projects. Students are expected to complete 27 lab hours for each .5 unit of credit. May be repeated up to the maximum number of units. Grade: Pass/No Pass only.

Continued instruction of computer assisted numerical control programming. Advanced concepts and methods of creating 3D geometry and 3D surfaces using Mastercam 3D software.

Advanced set-up and operation of CNC Machining Center. Student will learn the advanced concepts in set up and operation of the state of the art milling equipment. Course curriculum will include instruction on boring cycles, reaming cycle, thread milling, 4th axis rotary table, and multiple fixture offsets. Corequisite enrollment is required in MNFG 096. Students are required to attend 1.5 hours per week for a 0.5 unit Lab. Students must complete 27 hours of scheduled lab work per semester to earn 0.5 units for lab. Lab hours are scheduled at the first class meeting.

Students will use Mastercam Software and Blade Expert to create various Multi Axis Toolpaths. Course includes programming, set up and operation of a 5 axis DMU-50 milling machine with CNC Siemens control to complete various student's group projects.

Set-up and operation of CNC Horizontal Machining Center. Course curriculum will include instruction on multi fixtures, rapid pallet changing, and the ability to machine several sides at once with a single set-up using fully programmable 4th axis to boost productivity, cut lead times, and lower production costs. Students must enroll in one of the MNFG 096 lab sections concurrently. The lab requires 1.5 hours per week (0.5 unit), for a total of 27 scheduled lab hours per semester to earn credit.
