Advanced Machine Shop Practicum

1 unit

Students will learn to use the vertical machining centers (LPM and 2op), bed mill, and CNC Lathe. Conversation programming and CAD/CAM programming will be taught. Learning to load and unload tooling, set tooling offset, reconcile tools within a program, satisfy machine operational requirements, and complete safety checks will be part of the learning experience. You will learn to read G-Code and M-Code generated by the CAM program and recognize machining events in real time.
