What does the course involve?
The course aims to be very practical, as we believe the best way to learn is to do it! Every delegate works on their own training equipment, enabling you to get the most from the course. The aim of this course is for delegates to develop the understanding and skills needed to use both 'on-line' and 'off-line' programming to produce CNC components.
The course covers items such as:
- Working safely, complying with health and safety legislation, regulations and other relevant guidelines
- Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM)
- Types of programming used to control CNC machines (Conversational and ISO programming systems)
- Mounting material in hold devices
- Datum setting
- Type, setting and application of cutting tools
- Tool maintenance
-
How is the course assessed?
