Mechanical Manufacturing

DESCRIPTION

Through this simulator, students learn in depth the components and functions of a lathe, a milling machine and a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) system, and perform basic machining operations.

OBJECTIVE

To train students, in a safe way, in the basic operation of a lathe, a milling machine and a CNC machine so that they can apply the knowledge acquired in a real environment.

ACTIVITIES

• Identification of the parts of a lathe and their functions. Includes an exploded view of the lathe where the smallest internal parts are identified.

• Identification of the parts of a milling machine and their functions.

• Basic machining operations with a lathe:
  • Turning on the lathe.
  • Placement of the gross.
  • Machine configuration.
  • Machining where the turning process is visualized.

• Basic machining operations with a milling machine:
  • Milling machine start-up.
  • Placement of the gross.
  • Machine configuration.
  • Machining.

• Interpretation of machining work orders.

• CNC machine operations:
  • Turning on.
  • Maintenance.
  • Inserting commands.
  • Zero point calibration.
  • Use of auxiliary tools.
