This course will help you master what it takes to setup and run a CNC machining center. We begin in a basic manner - assuming you have no previous experience in a machine shop. We even provide information about the basic machining practices, a topic often set as a prerequisite to learning CNC. We then dig deep - addressing all topics you must understand in order to setup and run a machine.
There are four Key Concepts that are further divided into twelve lessons:
1) Get ready to learn about CNC machining centers

2) Know your machine from a setup person’s or operator’s viewpoint
-
Lesson Three: General flow of CNC process
-
Lesson Four: Machine configurations
-
Lesson Five: Understanding the control panels
-
Lesson Six: Important procedures needed to run the machine
3) Know the three compensation types
-
Lesson Seven: Understanding compensation
-
Lesson Eight: Fixture offsets and assigning program zero
-
Lesson Nine: Tool length compensation

Lesson Twelve: Tasks related to completing a production run
Each lesson includes a presentation, reading material (a portion of the manual), and a test that will be graded. If you have questions during a lesson, answers are just an email away.
When you complete this class, you'll know what it takes to setup and run a CNC machining center. While you will still need hands-on practice with an actual machine (practice you'll get from your employer), you will understand the concepts needed to setup and run a machine.
