This course covers the advanced programming concepts related to CNC Mill/Turning centers and synchronized fourth axis mills. Mill/Turn and fourth axis topics include program format, machine set-up, related G & M codes, live tooling, and indexing devices. Students will program, set-up, and produce a variety of precision machined projects.

This course provides the student with the essential concepts and techniques that are required for successful creation of two-dimensional part geometry, generation and verification of 2 1/2 axis toolpath models, as well as post processing of 2 1/2 axis NC codes within a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system. Students are required to produce a variety of lab exercises on robotic (CNC) machinery utilizing multi-tool programs. Coursework will primarily focus on 2D geometry projects. Basic understanding of milling machine operations is recommended. This course satisfies 8 hours of instruction toward completing the embedded mathematics curriculum requirements, in accordance with Embedded Curriculum Guidelines Option A.

This is a continuation of MTT 250 and prepares students to determine hole locations by coordinates and degrees, use a rotary table, boring head, form tools, angle work, and work within +/- .001 inch tolerance.
