MAC 206 - Computer Numerical Control Mill Programming and Operation

Credits: 3

This is an Advanced course covering the development of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programs for three axis milling machines including spindle controls, tools changes, linear and circular interpolation, drilling and tapping, subroutines, and G&M codes. Setup and operation of milling machines. Adjusting tool and work offsets to hold part tolerance. Emphasis will be placed on process planning, programming efficiency, accurate setup, proper cutter selection, speeds and feeds, carbide tooling, and the generation and interpretation of CNC code.

Theory: 3
Lab: 4
Prerequisites: Students will be required to test for NIMS CNC Milling (programming/setup) Performance Standard CNC Milling and FANCU Certification
