MFG 244 - CNC Programming - Lathe - Haas

3 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s):

MFG 121 and MFG 140 , and MTH 112Z or MET 104

Course Description: Covering basic Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programming of the Haas turning center (lathe) as well as machine set-up and operation, this course emphasizes personal and machine safety, manual data input programming, and manual program editing. Students learn safe manufacturing methods by completing a series of assignments using a Haas SL10 turning center. Students will gain experience reading, writing and editing part programs using industry standard G & M code programming.

Course Learning Outcomes:

CLO#1: Associate G and M codes to the actions of the CNC lathe for programming purposes.
CLO#2: Determine proper tooling needed to produce part.
CLO#3: Demonstrate manual programming of the CNC lathebased on blueprint specifications. (ILO: Quantitative Literacy and Reasoning)
CLO#4: Demonstrate proper safety practices in the lab.

Typical Required and Recommended Equipment and Materials: Scientific calculator (Texas Instrument TI-36X is recommended), scratch paper for calculations/notes, pen or mechanical pencil.
