PLCs are used in a variety of applications including the machining of parts. In this environment, they are referred to as 'Computer Numeric Controls, or 'CNC'. This course presents a comparison of these two similar assemblies, and discusses how programmable logic is used in machining.
Outcomes
- Discuss methods used to convert mechanical drawing data into a CNC program.
- Compare the advantages and techniques of additive versus subractive manufacturing.
- Identify basic techniques, concerns and tools that would be used with steel material, including the ability to interpret markings on steel pieces.
- Identify basic polymer and composite processing techniques, including storage and handling considerations.
- Identify basic techniques, concerns and tools that would be used with aluminum materials, including the ability to interpret markings on aluminum pieces.
