CNC Programming & Operational Machine Tools Program

Approved by MiTC Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity

The 160-hour, 10-week, CNC Programming and Operations program. Your employee will learn to:

Read and interpret blueprints, perform basic shop math, create a CAD rendition of a part of moderate complexity, properly dimension the part.
Create a process sheet or order of operation to make the part.
Write and edit a CNC program from a print of moderate complexity and process sheet data using a combination of CAD based download and “at machine” edits. (Fanuc format)
Identify and install tooling for the job. Qualify same.
Perform all offsets, touchoffs, indicate vise, edge find. Enter appropriate data prior to dry run.
Utilize all basic inspection equipment including comparator.
Dry run.
Make the part. (Students are required to produce one milling and one turning part at minimum and document the job properly, including in-process inspection.)
