CNC Programming

<<back

This course introduces the student to the fundamentals of programming CNC lathe and milling machines using M & G codes.  The student will be introduced to the programming process, machine configurations, tool and radius compensation, program and part zeros. The student will be able to visualize, interpret and write basic programs for the lathe and mill using linear and circular movements, canned cycles and tool and work offsets. PREREQUISITES: COMP01 & NIMSM01 or NIMSLT01

This course will introduce the carbide pre-form student to the basic programming of a universal style CNC lathe. Programming basics of axes movements, G & M codes, offsets, and X & Z coordinate system will be covered. Students will focus on reading programs for OD and ID turning and completing programs by filling in the tool paths to the relating prints. Both X in radius and diameter will be discussed. PREREQUISITE:  Basic Computer Knowledge

This course will introduce the carbide pre-form student to programming with TNR (tool nose radius compensation) and the operation of the HAAS CNC control. Main focus will be on reading and writing programs with TNR and the operation of the HAAS CNC lathe control relating to carbide pre-form processes. Topics covered will be: X in radius and X in diameter, TNR, tools, and tool offsets. HAAS control layout, powering up, loading, editing and creating programs, entering geometry and tool offsets and program execution.
PREREQUISITES:  COMP04 and by recommendation
