MTT 210 - CNC Machine Tool Operations

Institution:

Delaware County Community College

Subject:

Machine Tool Technology

Description:

This course is designed to provide appropriately prepared conventional machine tool operators with an introduction to Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machine tool set-up and operation. Theory will be practical in nature and relate directly to shop based applications. Lathe, and mill, operations will be stressed; however, the theory and concepts will be applicable to various CNC machine tools. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Conduct commonly assigned CNC machine tool operator cleanup and maintenance activities; Describe the various axes and coordinate systems associated with differing CNC machine tool types; Apply accident prevention practices and procedures while interacting with the Machine Control Unit (MCU), as well as during program proof-out; and, while performing maintenance; Discuss the types and principles of MCU offset registers, and their usage; Analyze rudimental program problems and perform basic editing operations to modify G-code programs via Manual Data Input (MDI) operations; Edit canned cycle functions utilizing calculations/data prepared by others to create simple G-code programs via conversational graphics as well as by typing on a personal computer; Demonstrate upload/downloading and other Distributed Networked Computer (DNC) functions on a shop floor computer network; Set-up, align, and zero-out workholding devices, tooling adapters, and toolholders; Perform dry/first/production runs and inspections, adjusting various register values to assure tool qualification, and part dimensionality; Communicate and apply piece-part set-up and inspection procedures commonly associated with, advanced Lathe and Milling Operations.
