5 Axis CNC Milling

Course Description:
This course is provided Central Main Community College and is designed for the CNC machining instructor with an operational understanding of a Haas 3 axis CNC mill, and a working knowledge of 4th axis CNC milling. This course includes both theory and hands on lab time. The theory portion of the class includes rotational axis, types of 5-axis CNC mills, 5 axis set-up considerations, programming changes, program editing, and 3+2 long hand programming. The lab includes safety, 5-axis trunnion set-up, setting work offsets both manually and with a probe and tool setter, 5-axis work holding, tool clearance considerations, dry-run techniques, and 5-axis machine operation. This course provides students with the opportunity to program, set-up, and operate 5th axis vertical CNC Milling Centers. 

Course Contents:
This course includes a 2-page course description and schedule, five PowerPoint lectures, and documents and CAD files for five course projects. Project topics include Drilled Block, Mind Bender, Swarf Milling, Tapered Block, and V-Block. 

For orientation purposes 5 Axis Summer Teacher Training.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this collection.
