MFG 244 - Computer Numerical Control 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 Level: Career/Tech Preparatory

Course Learning Outcomes:

CLO#1: Demonstrate a working knowledge of introductory CNC Lathe programming.
CLO#2: Demonstrate improved mathematics, as derived points must be calculated from industry standard blueprints. (ILO: Quantitative Literacy and Reasoning)
CLO#3: Apply improved technology applications as programs must be written and tested on machinery.
CLO#4: Demonstrate expanded critical thinking skills and focuses three-dimensional thinking, as to how cutter paths are determined.
CLO#5: Demonstrate proper safety practices in the lab and workplace.
