CNC Competencies

Please take a minute to select all the competencies that would be applicable to your workplace under each class title.
1.Machine Tool/CNC Set-ups - CNC mill and lathe-tool holder selection, loading and unloading tools, work holding, setting part zero, fixture offsets, setting length and dial offsets, boring bars, and bar feeding.
2.Blueprint Rdg/Sket-Mach 1 -fundamentals of sketching, orthographic projection, auxiliary views, sectional views, dimensioning, precision and non-precision measurement, and general print reading.
3.CNC/Machining Fundamentals 1 - learners will be introduced to and demonstrate the practice of machine shop safety rules and policies. Learners will be introduced to operations and production of parts on band saws, drill presses, conventional lathes and horizontal mills, conventional vertical and knee mills and layout tables.
4.CNC Interface Methods - this course provides the learner the opportunity to develop and learn the computer interface skills needed to operate and program CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines, through the machines' HMI (Human Machine Interface) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) system.
5.CNC Milling and G-Code - shop safety around CNC milling machines, CNC basics, Cartesian coordinate systems, CNC milling controls and preparing basic G-Code milling programs.
6.CNC/Machining Fundamentals 2 - learners will demonstrate the practice of machine shop safety rules and policies. Learners will be introduced to basic operations and production of machined parts on CNC mills and CNC lathes, precision grinders, conventional lathes and horizontal mills, conventional vertical mills and knee mills with various types of tooling.
7.G-Code and CAM - learn basic programming with computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, along with G-and M-code programming of computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling and turning machines.
8.CNC/Machining Fundamentals 3 - learners will demonstrate the practice of machine shop safety rules and policies. Learners will develop intermediate level knowledge and produce more complex parts on CNC mills, lathes and machining centers, precision grinders, conventional lathes and horizontal mills, conventional vertical mills and knee mills and heat treat ovens.
9.Metallurgy and Cutting Tools - this course provides the opportunity for the learner to develop the knowledge, skills, and understanding of the manufacture of iron and steel, metals identification, and applied heat-treating processes, as well as cutting tool materials, tool geometry, and selection of proper speed and feed.
10.Blueprint Rdg/Sket-Mach 2 - blueprint reading, tolerancing, fits (inch & metric), basic welding symbols, casting, and basic GD&T (geometric tolerancing and dimensioning).
11.Intro to CNC Turning - this course provides the opportunity for the learner to develop the knowledge, skills, and understanding of shop safety around CNC turning centers, CNC turning machine control use, preparing basic G-Code lathe programs, basic set up, and operation of CNC turning centers.
12.CNC/MACHINING FUNDAMENTALS 4 - learners will demonstrate the practice of machine shop safety rules and policies. Learners will develop deeper knowledge of complex setups and measuring operations on CNC mills, lathes and machining centers, precision grinders, conventional lathes and horizontal mills, conventional vertical mills and knee mills and heat treat ovens.
