CAM 210 Advanced Mill Processes

Lecture Hours: 2
Lab Hours: 6
Credits: 4

Emphasizes production and assembly methods in manufacturing of parts. Includes advanced instruction in vertical milling and basic instruction in horizontal milling. Covers setup, operation, tool selection and application, calculating proper feed, speeds, and depth of cuts in the production of parts. Uses computers and manufacturing equipment to plan for and carry out assigned projects

Prerequisite: CAM 120 and CAM 121, each with a grade of C or better; or consent of instructor.
Student Learning Outcomes:

Collect data to use in a process plan required to manufacture a part.
Produce a process plan incorporating machining data obtained from machining software programs.
Evaluate manufacturing process plans in aspects relating to safety, production, quality and customer satisfaction.
Select, set up, and apply advanced vertical and basic horizontal milling operations to work-holding devices, cutting fluid, feed, speeds, depth of cut, climb and conventional milling.
Identify, select, and apply standard milling cutters to include: rough and finish slab, straddle, end, angle, fly, woodruff, face, slitting saws, “T” slot, dovetail, formed, plain, and staggered.
Identify spur gear cutting, bevel gear cutting, worm gear cutting and calculations measurements, setups and operational procedures.
Practice standard industrial ethics and habits in the machining setting.
