ID : 16567   

« back to classes page


The CNC Turning Programming, Setup & Operations course teaches the programming, setup and operations of Computer Numeric Control (CNC) Turning Center.  Skills mastered in the prerequisite courses will apply to operation of CNC Turning Centers.  Axis orientation and blueprint understanding are reinforced.  Machine code is taught through multiple exercises using practical applications.  Students will learn machine code along with the writing of typical machine code in order to understand programs that are being setup and operated.  All topics are taught using accepted practices to set work coordinates, tool length compensation, radius compensation, and tool wear offsets.  The final project is to write a program, set up and make a project part that complies with the tolerance of the engineering drawing without direct assistance, and complete the requirements of NIMS credentialing by passing a knowledge test.  This NIMS Machining Level 1:  CNC Lathe Programming Setup and Operations certification validates that an individual is able to set up and operate a CNC Turning Center; maintain quality and safety standards; keep records; maintain equipment and supplies.  This course is approximately 8 hours per week for 12 weeks.

The prerequisites for this class are:  Job Planning, Benchwork & Layout (JPBL) and Measurement, Materials & Safety (MMS), Drill Press (DP), Turning - Chucking Skills (TSC), Turning Between Centers, and CNC Lathe Operations (CLO).
