APM 203 Programming Lathe
Apprentices will process the theory behind programming for the CNC Lathe and be able to hand write commands and write basic programs for mills using G&M codes. Students will apply basic G-codes (G00, G01, G02 and G03), canned cycles, drilling, cutter compensation commands and a variety of finishing cycles by both accurately hand writing G-code program for various engineering drawings and exploring how software tools that can aid in these programming processes (e.g. MasterCam). Students will also learn to verify programs and identify various syntax and logical problems in programming codes to become proficient at troubleshooting on the CNC Lathe.
