CAM Systems in Machining

The subject is connecting with lessons Technology I, II, Machining - subjects what are interested about machining (turning, milling, drilling, and so on.) The subject extends knowledge about technological process creation and programming CNC machines tools. It will be used special software for CAM system (CAM - Computer-Aided Manufacturing). This subject is for II. semester of magister study, specialization mechanical technology. Students will study theory and practice of machining technology (turning, 2.5 axis milling, drilling) by means of CAD/CAM system MasterCAM. Contents of this subject including: creation and edition of CAD geometry, beginning cutting conditions, creation of technological process (strategy of cutting, setting cutting tools, instruction - G, M code etc.), cutting simulation, NC code generation for particular cutting machine.
The subject includes two practical demonstrations of 2.5axis machining and multiaxis turning in the CNC machining laboratory of the department. Practical demonstration include setting the milling center (machine tool setting, clamping of a cutting tools into a suitable tool holders, setting cutting tools, demonstration of different types of fixtures of workpiece, workpiece zero point setting using the workpiece probe, loading, editing, simulation, verification NC program in machine control system, and real cutting.
