ENST 2343 - CNC & Automation

Credit hours: 3

Course Description:
This course is based on the CNC Milling machine using 3-axis programs and applications. An integrated systems approach is used to identify and distinguish mechanical work systems, sensor and feedback systems, and software-based inputs and outputs. Computer-assisted methods will be taught with particular emphasis placed on projects to enhance hands-on operational experience. The course will include such topics as basic codes, post-processing, and the troubleshooting of machine tool error codes (system & program faults).

Student Learning Outcomes:
Students will be able to:

Evaluate machining process during cutting operations to determine the sequence of operations.
Develop a working knowledge of machine tool codes using MDI methods to demonstrate the integration of subsystems to perform work.
Demonstrate troubleshooting of machine tool error codes (to identify and isolate system faults from program faults.
