Course Description
A CNC machining center requires a program to maximize the machine’s capabilities. Creating a CNC program is only performed after a careful planning stage to determine exactly what machining operations and which part dimensions the CNC machining center will need to machine.
By the end of this course, you will be able to
• Define a CNC program
• Define the steps in CNC programming
• Understand the importance of thoroughly planning the creation of a CNC program
• Define program zero
• Distinguish between machine zero and program zero
• Explain the relationship between work offsets, machine zero, and program zero
• List methods of creating a CNC program
