Precision Machining
Description
This course covers conventional machining, basic blueprint reading and math; health and safety; and introduction to CNC machining. The course work is divided between lab assignments, lecture and reading/workbook assignments, with a significant amount of lab time dedicated to conventional mills and lathes. The course also covers blueprint reading skills including a basic understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance, applied math skills, basic CNC Machine programming and operation, introduction to Lean manufacturing.
Skill Sets
- Safely produce a part with in print on a conventional lathe and on a conventional milling machine.
- Accurately read precision measuring tools within .002”.
- Read prints to industry’s standards and interpret manufacturing drawings and accurately determine tolerances on a blue print.
- Visualize 3 dimensional shapes from two dimensional drawings using orthographic projection.
- Write a basic G-code program to produce a tool path of a given shape Math used to solve typical machine shop problems using Algebra and Plane Geometry to: Accurately determine the upper and lower limits of dimension tolerances; Work though specific shop math formulas accurately; Visualize geometric shapes; Find specific Cartesian coordinates; solve typical machine shop problems using trigonometry.
- Set up a CNC machine by: finding and storing in the controller the work absolute zero offsets; Loading tools into the machine’s magazine.
- Correctly establish tool offsets Change wear and diameter offsets to adjust part dimensions to meet print specifications.
- Safely start up the machine and properly shut it down.
- Make minor program edits at the machine to change speeds or feeds
- Write a basic G-code program; Identify and define G-Codes and M-Codes. Write a program that loads a tool and performs a machining operation.
- Determine thread tolerances Determine the stack of gage blocks needed to set up a sine bar.
- Find the distance between holes on a bolt circle involving an odd number of holes.
