Course Description: This course is designed to introduce the principals and practices of manufacturing equipment as it relates to advanced manufacturing. Emphasis will be placed on developing safety and operation skills used to operate CNC manufacturing equipment. Students will also learn measuring and trade math, tool selection and identification, equipment types, equipment maintenance, drawings, work orders, quality assurance, feeds, speeds, and pressures. These areas of instruction will be reinforced by hands-on application in several performance lab exercises.
Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to:
- Practice safety skills that are required on job-sites.
- Explain the basic principles of feed settings for the CNC Lathe.
- Describe the importance of proper speed selection when using the CNC Press Brake.
- Identify the proper punch and die for forming a hem joint on sheet metal.
- Identify the proper nesting software for the CNC Cutting Table.
- Convert units of measurement from the inch-pound system to the metric systems, and vice-versa.
- Use proper terminology and communication skills while presenting how to setup assigned equipment properly.
