Abstract

This course is designed to give students an understanding of basic programming including sub-programming and set-up of multi axis CNC machine tools. Students will learn to set up and program multi-axis Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines, which include multiple vises, set ups, CNC tombstones, 4th axis vertical mill, and 5 axis vertical mill. The course includes advance set ups on CNC turning centers with bar feeding capabilities, live tooling and Y axis capabilities. After learning set ups on all multi axis machines, students will then write a basic CNC program to be run on the multi-axis CNC machines. Please note that all course materials and content are provided in the IMS Common Cartridge (IMSCC) format. The content can be accessed by opening the IMSCC file using your organization's Learning Management System application (these include Blackboard, D2L, Canvas etc.). Additional information about accessing Common Cartridge files can be found on the IMS Global Web site: http://www.imsglobal.org/cc. Future plans for the Skills Commons Web site include a feature that will allow users to view and download course content that is provided in the IMSCC format. Please refer to the "Enabling Others to Reuse Your Materials” page for more information: http://support.taaccct.org/enabling-reuse/.
