Students proof the programs, punch NC tapes, and run the programs on the NC Lathe. They write CNC programs which contain linear and circular interpolation, milling, drilling, tapping, boring, fixture off-sets, length compensation, and diameter compensation. Students proof programs, punch tapes, load programs from tape to machine computer, and run programs on the machining center. They write geometric tool descriptions using APT language. They write geometric tool descriptions of parts to be machined.
Students write motion statements necessary to produce the machined part.
They use the computer to process the geometry and motion statements, resulting in a machine tool program which will produce the part. Students proof the programs, punch a tape, load the programs in the lathe or machining center, and run the programs. The programs are given to an operator and run on a specified NC machine tool. These programs include turning, boring, threading, drilling, tapping, reaming, pocket milling, and circular interpolation. This course enables the student to set up the Master Cam design and programming system and create two dimensional drawings and CNC Tool paths.
