Computer Numerical Control

Course Overview

This course is specifically intended for delegates who wish to operate CNC mills up to 5 axis or multi axis lathes using various controllers with code and conversational languages at the machines. This course provides an overview of programming and editing techniques used when operating a CNC mill or lathe. Covering the use of canned cycles and manual methods of programming, the delegate will generate and edit a variety of programs to improve their knowledge and ability to navigate the controller.

Business Benefits

Delegates will be able to generate CNC programmes more effectively using the machine controller and this will reduce the production time and improve the quality of the product. It raises levels of employee confidence in the use of this technology.

Delegates will learn to:

Set CNC machines
Gain competency in the skills needed to utilise CNC machine controls
Generate CNC programmes manually
Edit CNC programmes
Identify the best methods to produce CNC machined components
Use tool offsets and datums

Mode of Delivery

The course will be delivered utilising CNC mills or lathes using code or conversational languages at the machines. The courses can be delivered at your site on your machines. Course materials summarising process steps and key learning points will be given to each delegate for easy reference and use in their own working environment.

Individual Participant Projects

On completion of the training the delegate will be required to complete an assessment exercise.
