Introduction to CNC Turning
Description
A four-day introduction to the basic concepts of CNC lathe-work, and typical applications in today’s modern engineering environment.
This course enables the candidate to gain an understanding of the first principles employed in CNC Turning. It will enable the learner to have an understanding of the safety aspects of automated turning processes used in the manufacturing industry.
The learner will gain an understanding of basic G-Coding and will manually program the machine to simulate several components of varying difficulty.
Who should attend?
The course is aimed at candidates who have a manual machining grounding, and who have the desire to up-skill and expand their present abilities to meet the future demands of an ever changing engineering environment. We recommend that you attend this course before progressing to our Intermediate CNC Turning programme.
