MFG* 168 Computer Numerical Control I

Credits: 3

This course is the first step in understanding Computer Numerical Control and the commands needed to perform lathe and milling operations with conversational programming. It covers the Cartesian coordinate system and basic programming practices. It covers all the canned cycles that can be performed in both the ProtoTRAK lathe and milling machine. The student gains confidence by being able to control the 3rd axis by hand operating the quill in the milling machine.
Prerequisite: Completion of MAT 085 or higher with a C or better, or Accuplacer Arithmetic score of 230 or better, and Instructor Permission.
