MC 101Machine Theory I
This course will cover safety, tools common to machine trades, practical math concepts, measuring, and print reading. The student will be introduced to interpreting and reading industrial blueprint symbols, nomenclature, and basic dimensioning with the learning of how mechanical drawings are produced Students will use these skills to progress through the machinist trade.
This course introduces the student to the fundamental operating principles and practices of the lathe. In addition to fundamental operations, the student will be introduced to various types of tooling and measuring instruments specific to lathe operations. By combining lab and theory the students become familiarized with the terms and applications of basic tooling, set up and operation of a manual lathe.
In this hands-on lab class, the students will complete a variety of projects designed to hone lathe skills and make them better machinist. Safety is an everyday concern for the machine shop and is constantly stressed and practiced by staff and students. By applying the skills stressed the student will become proficient in the basic uses of the manual lathe.
This theory course will cover the machinist trade and occupations, math related to machining, process planning, quality control, metallurgy, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, benchwork, and layout. Students will use these skills to progress through the machinist trade.
This course includes both theory and lab to ensure students will be able to identify and use the controls and features of vertical manual mills. Vertical mill anatomy, controls, toolholding, workholding, setup, and operation are discussed and practiced.
In this hands-on lab class, the students will complete a variety of projects designed to hone their milling skills and to become a machinist. Milling will coincide with turning at times. Safety is an everyday concern for the machine shop and is constantly stressed and practiced by staff and students. By applying the skills stressed the student will become proficient in the basic uses of manual mills.
This theory course covers the basics of CNC programming with a focus on CNC turning. Types of turning machines, machine control center, CNC lathe anatomy, motion control, coordinate systems, codes, parts of a program, tool mounting, workholding, process planning, machine operation, and canned cycles will be explained and discussed. - 84 -
Programming, operation, and set-up of CNC turning centers will be the main focus of this course. Students will be expected to design a CAD drawing, program the tool path and part geometry, set up and run the production piece, complete a time study as well as optimize the efficiency of the operation.
In this course, the basics of computer aided design and modeling will be taught in relationship to communications with CNC mill and CNC lathe. BobCAD software will be employed to develop the aforementioned skills.
This theory course covers the basics of CNC programming with a focus on CNC milling. Types of milling machines, machine control center, CNC mill anatomy, motion control, coordinate systems, codes, parts of a program, tool mounting, workholding, process planning, machine operation, two-dimensional milling, and canned cycles will be explained and discussed.
In this hands-on lab class, operations associated with the CNC Milling Machine are performed. Students will be expected to interpret drawings, prepare programs, simulate their programs, set up and run production pieces. Basic tooling, set up, and calculations for RPM and feed rate will be employed.
