Course Objectives

1. Carry out Preparations for Programming CNC machine for production
2. Carry out programming for CNC
3. Test and prove the program on the CNC Machine
4. Maintain 5S at the work premises
5. Programming the machine for specific tool operations
6. Preparation of process plan & optimize the cycle time

Learning Outcomes

1. The employee’s capability to operate a CNC machine and produce completed product as per the work order or approved drawings, meeting all required quality standards and scrap standards –consistent and repetitive output is the goal. The employee will also be expected to be meeting efficiency standards at this point assuming the employee is producing regular production.
2. By undergoing this lab the students will learn to use the CNC machines efficiently for
manufacturing desired products and knowledge of programming and use of CNC
tooling
