This workshop is for training the participants in CNC part programming. The course will begin with brief introductions to CNC technology and hardware details. These will help the participants understand the functioning of the entire CNC system and appreciate the intricacies in handling and maintaining CNC machines. They will be subsequently taught in detail the various topics on CNC programming such as types of motions, cutter compensations, work offsets, coordinate transformations, canned cycles, sub-programs, macros etc. Programming examples and exercises for lathes and milling machines will be part of learning in each topic. Demos and hand on experience also are being planned. The workshop will conclude with special topics on machining sciences and CNC tooling.
