 |
 |
 |
|
Improve blueprint reading skills by learning to compute and apply tolerances, allowances, and inch and metric fits. Topics include thread fasteners, revolved and removed sections, development drawings, auxiliary views, view arrangement, piping, bearings, castings, steel specifications, and aligning parts and holes. Math calculations include powers, square roots and working with shop formulas. Students also study and solve problems relating to geometric shapes. Prerequisite: Blueprint Reading & Math I. |
|
|
Class combines lecture with individual project work. Software used is the latest version of Feature Mill that calculates speeds and feeds, generates an NC program for a CNC machine, provides 2D & 3D animated color toolpath verification, and creates and prints detailed manufacturing process plans with detailed tool lists and NC codes. Prerequisite: Machine Shop I or other machining experience. |
|
For the student who is familiar with computer programming and machine operation, who has CNC experience, is comfortable in the Windows 98 & NT environment, and is familiar with the latest release of Feature Mill. Prerequisite: CNC I or other CNC experience. |
|
Students manufacture projects requiring close tolerances, make precision layouts, perform lab tasks such as set up sine bars and plate, indicate in four jaw chucks, weld band saw blades, and grind drills. An essential part of this course is CNC I. The CNC class combines lecture with individual project work. Software used is the latest version of Feature Mill which calculates speeds and feeds, generates an NC program for a CNC machine, providing 2D animated color too-path verification and detailed manufacturing process plans with tool lists and NC codes. |
