The CNC controller is a computer numerical control (CNC) device that directs the motions of the machine tool. Understanding the parts of the CNC controller and how they operate will enable you to ...

A computer numerical control (CNC) machining center is made up of many different components that work together and enable you to create machined parts. Learning about the components of a CNC ...

Different types of workholding devices and tool holders make a computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining center versatile. Learning about workholding devices and tool holders will give you a ...

The lubrication, coolant, and chip removal systems keep the CNC machining center components lubricated and free from dirt and debris. These systems are essential to the consistent production of ...

As a CNC operator, you will be responsible for tasks related to maintaining the machine tool. Properly maintaining the machine tool helps to ensure it stays in good working order.Estimated ...

In this lesson, you will learn about moving the axes manually by rotating the Jog Handle. This is sometimes called jogging, or hand jogging, the axes.Estimated completion time (hours): 0.8Learning ...

In this lesson, you will learn about selecting a part program from memory. Multiple part programs can be stored in the CNC controller, but only one part program can be active at a time. Selecting a...

In this lesson, you will learn how to interrupt automatic operation. Interrupting automatic operation is the process of stopping the motion of the axes, the rotation of the spindle, and the flow of...

In this lesson, you will learn about the power-off process. The power-off process prepares the CNC lathe to be shut down and then turns the power off.Estimated completion time (hours): 0.7Learning ...

A CNC lathe program is required to be organized in a specific manner for the controller to understand the instructions within the program. Each instruction must also be organized.Estimated ...

The instructions written in G code programming that produce an action by a CNC lathe are called commands. A command may require a single word, a block, or multiple blocks.Estimated completion time ...
