Synopsis

The CNC Workshop, the only collection of on-line CNC tutorials with simulation software, is a flexible, unique package. The programming code that is learned and generated by the student can either be sent to an actual machine or to the simulation software. This allows students to learn basic part programming without actually using a CNC Mill or Lathe. It is an excellent simulation and animation tool for milling and turning, which can be used to test existing programs or write and edit new ones. The simulation software features interactive editing of part programs and can be run side-by-side with the on-line tutorials.

From the Back Cover

The CNC Workshop is the only Computer Numerical Control (CNC) text and multimedia package currently available. This flexible, unique package provides many benefits that canít be found in stand-alone texts. Using the multimedia CD-ROM, students can visualize CNC concepts through vivid animations, virtually visit machine shops through videoclips of processes and machine tools, and view numerous examples. The CD also features CNCez, simulation software that actually allows students to program numerical control code and then see a simulation of the tool path or process that the code would generate. The code can also be sent to an actual machine. This package is an excellent simulation and animation tool for milling and turning and can be used to test existing programs or write and edit new programs.

This package covers the basics of CNC programming, including step-by-step coverage of machining processes, fundamentals of CNC, and basic CNC programming concepts. It can be used as a stand-alone package in a hands-on CNC course or can be used as a supplement in a comprehensive manufacturing process or numerical controls course. The book and CD package is an excellent instruction tool for CNC programming and many of the animations and videoclips can be used for classroom presentation.

Features:

• This is the only CNC educational package with simulation software that can replace or supplement actual machining experience. Students can learn basic part programming without actually using a CNC mill or lathe.

• The simulation software features interactive editing of part programs. The part shape is constantly updated as each new line of CNC code is added or changed.

• The flexible workbook and CD format allows students to read from the workbook, view on-screen content, or listen to audio clips, depending on their learning styles and needs.

• This package covers the basics of CNC programming with step-by-step coverage of machining processes, an introduction to CAD/CAM, and an overview of EdgeCAM and MasterCAM.

• This package contains a review of machining terms and procedures, many exercises and programming examples, and appendices with speeds and feeds and answers to exercises.
