Cover all the basics for use and maintenance of CNC lathes and machining centres

CNC Machining is a method carried out by computerised devices to perform a broad range of manufacturing tasks in a wide variety of fields.

During this course you will cover:

• Safety on and around CNC lathes
• Start-up, shut-down and basic maintenance of CNC lathes
• Setting of tools and jaws
• Basic lathe programming (Fanuc)
• Sample of repetitive cycles (rough turning, finish turning, threading)
• Operation of the lathe with a small part project
• Safety on and around CNC machining centres
• Start-up, shutdown and basic maintenance of CNC machining centres
• Setting of tools and work holding devices
• Basic machining centre programming (Fanuc)
• Sample of canned cycles (peck drilling, boring, tapping etc.)
• Operation of the machining centre with a small part project

Please note classes are run subject to numbers (minimum 10 students)
