Subject syllabus
The course work is assigned to 2 projects, including developing procedures and information needed by engineers working in the CAM system. Students will learn how to work in a specific CAM system, which is taught in the Department of machining and assembly.
1. Explication basic terms. Introductory lecture. Software product options for computer aided manufacturing (CAM systems) - examples.
2. Creation a manufacturing process in CAM systems. Importing geometric data into the CAM system - modifying and positioning the geometric data (model of part, workpiece, fixtures and other geometry). Possibilities of creation and modification of fixtures, modification of technological parameters.
3. 2.5axis milling-roughing strategy. Project assignment.
4. 2.5axis milling-roughing strategy - continued interpretation.
5. 2.5axis milling – finishing strategy.
6. 2.5-axis milling - Finishing strategy -continued. Description of other ways of simulation and verification of machining.
7. Postprocessing - creating NC code. Setup sheet creation.
8. Work on the project. Practical demonstrations of machining in the CNC laboratory when setting milling center - 3axis milling (clamping the cutting tools, using tool probe, clamping the workpiece – using the fixtures and using the workpiece probe, simulation, verification and modification of the NC program in the machine control system).
9. 2axis turning for roughing.
10. 2axis turning for finishing.
11. Description of multi-axis turning strategies. Axial milling and drilling for multi-axis turning.
12. Radial milling, drilling and drilling outside of the axis of rotation for multi-axis turning.
13. Postprocessing - creating NC code. Setup sheet creation. Practical demonstrations of machining in the CNC laboratory when setting turning center – multiaxis turning (clamping the cutting tools, using tool probe, clamping the workpiece – using the fixtures, simulation, verification and modification of the NC program in the machine control system).
14. Completion of projects. Test. Evaluation.
