CNC 121 Basic CNC Lathe/Mill Operation and production

Students will learn more advanced machining techniques for 2 axis lathes and 3 axis mills and learn production techniques such as using pallet systems and bar feeders as well as setting up multiple parts in a single machine. By the end of the course students should be comfortable in the set up and operation of these machines. Students will also continue to learn more advanced metrology techniques and tooling. Students will begin to create inspection reports for CNC machined parts and learn skills to be an effective QA tech. Students will also use their skills to learn to reverse engineer simple parts for production. Lab included.
