MFG 2477 - Advanced Machine Technology


Credits: 4

This course is a combination of classroom theory and hands on lab experiences. This course is split with 3-hours classroom and 5-hours lab each week to machine various projects. This course introduces a student to more advanced practices in metal machining technology machines. The student learns advanced techniques in operation of lathes, mills, grinders and sawing machines to manufacture parts to blueprint specifications to tighter tolerances. Advanced lathe operations include single point threading both external and internal. It also includes face grooves, internal and external grooving and boring and the use and understanding of carbide tooling. The milling portion includes machining more complex parts and utilizing the power of conversational programming and canned cycles. Achieving tighter tolerance parts becomes evident with the advanced techniques in the surface grinder using grinding vises, squaring blocks, gage blocks and indicators.
