MFG 241 - CNC Programming - Mill - Haas

4 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s):

MTH 60 or MTH 102CT or designated placement, and MFG 121 and MFG 140 , or permission of Instructor.

Course Description: Covering basic Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programming of the Haas vertical mill as well as machine setup and operation, this course emphasizes manual data input programming and manual program editing. Provides training in the operation and part programming of the modern vertical machining center. Students learn safe manufacturing methods by completing a series of assignments using one of two Haas vertical machining centers. Students will gain experience reading, writing and editing part programs using industry standard G & M code programming.

Course Learning Outcomes:

CLO#1: Explain G and M codes in the action of machining.
CLO#2: Adapt Cartesian coordinates and G and M codes in programming two-dimensional milling.
CLO#3: Develop and refine programming techniques for accurate blueprint recreation. (ILO: Quantitative Literacy and Reasoning)
CLO#4: Apply tool length and cutter compensation to achieve blueprint specifications.
CLO#5: Demonstrate safe and proper shop practices while operating CNC equipment.

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