Prerequisites:
This course is designed to introduce currently enrolled and recently graduated students to theoretical and practical applications of Computer Numerical Controlled Machining in a manufacturing environment that coupled with other courses including Automation Sensing and Control, Automated Manufacturing incorporating Robotics and Aditive Manufacturing opens up opportunities in Mechatronics type industries. This course will expose students to all aspects of Program interpretation, Program creation, Safe setup and operation of a 3 axis Tormach PCNC 440 Milling Machine. Students will also carry over the training from semester 1 on CNC Lathes and will be able to proficiently incorporate the lathe and milling training to create functional components. Students will work on the Milling Machines and Lathes and have access to the virtual path pilot simulation software supplied by Tormach that is applicable to both lathes and milling machines.
