MTT 219 - CAM Solids I

Institution:

Delaware County Community College

Subject:

Machine Tool Technology

Description:

As a continuation of the principles of Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) design database development and usage, this course is designed to build on the course entitled Solids (CAM) Modeling (MTT 129). As such, instruction in this course will be centered around the theory and skills associated with the generation of 2 through 2 1/2 axis Computerized Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine tool code generation. Specific tool assignment and tool path generation for CNC milling and profiling [router, water-jet, laser and like machines] as well as conventional, two axis, CNC lathes will be addressed. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Conduct import and export, as well as other data file management and Distributed Networked Computer (DNC) operations; Analyze geometry in order to develop tool path routines utilizing appropriate lead in/out and roughing moves to create desired features and surface quality; Design and create libraries of commonly used machining operations, as well as modify operations to optimize tool paths for the improvement of part production efficiency; Prepare piece-part modeling documentation, to include dimensioning; and, hard copy output; Create tool paths for drilling, boring, and reaming on CNC mills and 2-axis lathes; Develop, verify, and edit tool path, and CNC code, for single surface profile creation; as well as pocketing, island, and thin-wall surface and feature creation; Generate roughing and finishing tool path for drilling, turning, grooving, facing, and threading (to include multiple lead) operations (inside and outside) on cylindrical parts.
