MCH 105 - Technology of Machine Tools I

Institution:

Rich Mountain Community College

Subject:

Description:

5 hours credit (2 hours lecture, 6 hours lab) This course will include basic instruction in the use of the horizontal engine lathe, as well as an introduction into abrasive machining operations. Included in the instruction will be the different types of lathe tools and their use, for example: outside diameter applications which include turning, grooving, and threading, and inside applications which include drilling, boring, internal grooving, and internal threading. Included with the theory of these operations will be the different types of tools and tooling that will be required to complete the machining procedure. Instruction will also be given in the calculation of speeds and feeds in relation to the type of material being machined and the type of cutting tool material. The eventual utilization of the theoretical and actual machine and tooling usage is to be applied to the theory and actual operation of the Computer Numerical Control machines. The abrasive machining operations will include the machining operation as well as the basic grinding machines commonly found in industry. Included in the instruction will be the different types and styles of abrasive media required in different machining applications. To a lesser extent, instruction will be given in the application and usage of the common support equipment, such as the drill press, abrasive belt grinder, the contour saw, and cutoff saw. Safety applications and procedures will be taught throughout this unit. (Offered in fall)
