IAM 3040 - Maching Principles

Clock Hours: 100

Prerequisites: IAM 3030

Course Description:
Machining individual parts to replace broken ones on production equipment is typical in most industrial settings. The industrial maintenance technician must have an understanding of how to make parts that are not readily available quickly and efficiently. The students are instructed in the proper operation and maintenance of an engine lathe, drill press, and vertical milling machine. They then machine two separate parts following a dimensioned and tolerance blueprint. One part is to be turned and threaded on the lathe; the other part is to be made with the mill and the drill press.

Student Learning Outcomes:
Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

Describe the operation of a lathe
Demonstrate the proper setup of the lathe to machine a turning.
