Introduction to CNC Milling
Locations
Description
A four-day introductory course to the basics of CNC milling, and typical applications in today’s modern engineering environment.
This course enables the candidate to gain an understanding of the first basic principles employed in CNC milling. It will enable the learner to have an understanding of the safety aspects of CNC automated milling processes used in the manufacturing industry.
You will also gain an understanding of basic ISO, G-M Coding and will manually program using simulators and Haas mini mills to manufacture a component of varying difficulty.
Who should attend?
The course is aimed at candidates who have a manual machining grounding and who have the desire to up-skill and expand their present abilities to meet the future demands of an ever changing engineering environment.
We recommend candidates attend this course before progressing to the Intermediate CNC Milling programme.
