CNC Programmer Certificate is the highest level CNC certificate program and is designed to address the need of manufacturers for people with the ability to program computer numerical control (CNC) O32196O6785
milling and turning machines using ISO/EIA "G & M" code programming. This course of study teaches learners to write programs to machine parts in CNC lathes and CNC mills. Learners also learn to program CNC machines using computer aided manufacturing (CAM) software. Participants will write programs, proof the programs, set up CNC machines, call up programs, and run the programs that they write to produce parts.
CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled) Operator Certificate Programs
CNC stands for computer numerical control. It is a versatile system that allows you to control the motion of tools and parts through computer programs that use numeric data. CNC can be used with nearly any traditional machine. The most common CNC machines found in the machine shop include machining centers (mills) and turning centers (lathes). These classes will explain operations performed with the help of CNC. The content is for individuals who need to understand what CNC is and how it works. Content covers the basic machines as well as programming for the more experienced user.
Theoretical & Practical courses available, including:
Basic and Advanced Turning
Basic and Advanced Milling
CAD CAM
The two most popular forms of metal-cutting CNC machine tools include:
CNC machining centres, which machine a stationary work piece with a rotating cutting tool
CNC turning centres, which machine a rotating work piece with a stationary cutting tool.
This course focuses on turning centres. Note that a similar course is available for machining centres. Participants will learn how to program CNC turning centres in four lessons. The more you know about basic machining practices as they apply to turning operations, the easier it will be to learn to program a CNC turning centre. We emphasize manual programming (G code Level) techniques. It is with this style of CNC programming that you can be the most intimate with the CNC machine tool, commanding everything the machine will do from within your program. And a thorough understanding of manual programming is prerequisite for mastering any computer aided manufacturing (CAM) system.
In a manufacturing environment where machines do much of the labor, the human touch is needed to ensure consistent productivity and high quality of goods. Computer numerical controlled (CNC) equipment operators handle the initial startup of a program, maintain quality control of the parts being machined and troubleshoot CNC machine tools when necessary.
CNC operators use CNC machinery to create machine parts and other precision products. Individuals looking for employment as CNC operators can learn their craft through CNC operator certificate programs. CNC operator certificate programs include instruction in methods for setting up, programming and operating CNC machinery. CNC Machine Operators require skills in operating a CNC machine but are not machinists.
