Course Content
This course covers the structure, working principles, axis movements, and coordinate systems of CNC machines. Students learn about toolpath generation, tool selection, zero-point setting, and machining strategies using G and M codes. In addition to theoretical knowledge, practical machining exercises are carried out on CNC lathe and milling machines. The course also includes machining safety, tolerance control, and surface quality evaluation.
Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to teach the fundamental working principles of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines, enabling students to gain knowledge and skills in toolpath creation, code reading, and machining operations. Students acquire practical experience in cutting tool selection, workpiece setup, and tolerance control during machining processes.
