Maintenance Technician

Introduction to Computer Numerical Control (CNC)
This program covers the fundamental principles of safe work practices. Course participants learn to operate 3 axis CNC milling machines and 2 axis CNC lathes. Participants experience the types and applications of common measuring instruments and cutting tools used in CNC machining and the use of various jigs and fixtures. The training also develops in the participants an ability to navigate the CNC machine control unit screens and software. Lastly, the participants are instructed in the process of changing out dull or broken cutting tools and performing secondary operations on manual operated saws, drill presses, and vertical milling machines. Participants receive approximately 25% classroom and 75% hands on laboratory instruction.
