CNC Hands On Milling - Operator to Setter

Course Aim

This is a basic CNC milling course designed for people with some knowledge and experience of the machining process and CNC controls but who want to fully understand the various aspects of the CNC milling process to better enable them to set up and optimise production jobs.

Overview

The course is aimed at operators looking to acquire new and upgrade existing skills, and at adult learners with knowledge and experience of the machining process looking to make the step up to CNC Programming.

The course is suitable for customers with controlled CNC mills who are using ISO programming. Course content covers 3-axis milling with consideration for 4 and 5-axis machines.

Each module of the course will be delivered at the CNC machine with live demonstrations of each step over the course duration.

Candidates must wear appropriate PPE.

Target Audience

This course is designed for operators/programmers currently operating CNC Mills at an operator level i.e., part loading, basic tool changing, wear adjustments, etc.
