Description

The manufacturing industry relies heavily on computer-numerical control (CNC) machining, including operations that once used engineer-operated equipment like routers, shaping machines, vertical millers and centre lathes. The many CNC machine advantages mean operator-required equipment has in some cases been replaced entirely. Manufacturers of many types across many industries choose the advantages of CNC machining for their fabrication and manufacturing applications. It provides efficient, expedient and precise production capacity ideal for creating large quantities of items.

This course is intended for learners from a vast range - Mechanical engineering, Manufacturing engineering, Industrial engineering, Machinists, Hobbyists & the list goes on. Even working professionals who wants to brush up there knowledge will get benefited.

The course will start with a basic introduction about Numerical control, its history & how it had been introduced in the modern industry. Then we will discuss about various types of popular CNC machines in the industry. And finally we will learn about the basics of CNC programming which will include programming format explaining different types of codes as such G code, M code, S,D,F and many more. Then we will get to know the most simplest & precise way of writing a CNC program with complete coding. Then we will discuss about two popular approach in CNC programming that is absolute & incremental mode. And finally we will write a complete program involving everything we have learned & even more.

Who is this course for?

  • Mechanical engineering graduates & undergraduates
  • Manufacturing & Industrial engineering graduates & undergraduates
  • Graduate or diploma engineer trainees, Machinist's apprentice's, CNC Hobbyists
  • CNC operators who wants to learn basic G-Codes
  • Working professionals who wants to brush up there knowledge

Requirements

  • Just some mathematics involved.
  • The most important trait - A kin & curious mind !!

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
