    (2 Credit Hours) Explains the use of conventional abrasives and super abrasives, as well as traditional grinding machines. Advanced milling applications are covered utilizing the horizontal boring mill. The application of basic and advanced cutting tool materials is covered in depth. Some of the more popular non-traditional processes are also explained, including electrical discharge machining and wire cutting; electrochemical, abrasive flow, ultrasonic, and abrasive water jet machining; electromagnetic, electro spark, and powder metallurgy forming; and various laser applications. Additional topics include rapid prototype development and robotics/ automation. Students use various software in the computer laboratory related to the above topics. Prerequisites: TAMN 120
  • 2.00 Credits

    (2 Credit Hours) Covers the fundamentals of computer numerical control (CNC) with emphasis on generic application to both vertical and horizontal milling machines. A review of the fundamentals of numerical control and programmer math is provided. Off-line computerized CNC software enables students to program CNC operations involving linear, circular, and helical interpolation. Canned cycles, auto routines, and various preparatory functions are used in programming. These programs are then utilized to machine functional work pieces on a fully operational CNC trainer. Prerequisites: TAMA 200 and TAMN 200
  • 2.00 Credits

  • 2.00 Credits

    (2 Credit Hours) Introduces the techniques and procedures of plant layout and material handling. The student is led through the analysis and development of information to produce a plant layout and to develop print reading skills with emphasis on reading industrial equipment drawings. Students practice making simple plant layout drawings for the production of a part using basic drafting skills. Prerequisites: TAGD 110
  • 2.00 Credits

    (2 Credit Hours) Provides specialized instruction in the practices and equipment used in shaft alignment, the end-to-end and parallel alignments of machines. Also studied are machine failures due to rotating shaft misalignment and vibration created from shaft center lines not being in the same plane. Areas covered include inefficiencies and increased wear due to misalignment, shaft alignment methods, soft foot, thermal growth, graphing methods, and the use of computers for math calculations. Rim and Face, Reverse Dial Indicator, and Visible Laser equipment is used. This course is a 40% hands-on laboratory experience. Prerequisites: TAMT 110 and TAMA 130 Note: Summer semester for Skilled Trades and Apprenticeship starts in early May and ends in August. Students should consult the Class Schedule for specific course times and dates.
