Airport: CMH (Columbus a.k.a. John Glenn) is the closest airport; it is about 60 miles away.
This two-day, hands-on class is focused on workholding, fixturing & Advanced CAM. We will discuss work holding strategies and methods, learn how to control and use 3D finishing strategies, and apply what was learned through the programming and machining of a fixture plate and bottle opener project. Each attendee will leave the class with a small bottle opener fixture and a bottle opener that you machine in the class.
Curriculum:
Workholding & Fixturing:
Overview of workholding strategies
Review and discussion of 50+ fixture examples including soft jaws, fixture plates, Mitee-Bite, Carr-Lane and other workholding and fixturing tools
Discussion of workholding strategy, including balance of time, cost, fixture life, process reliability and setup time.
Fixturing Best Practices (marking fixtures, swap-able, keeping soft jaws in pairs)
Advanced CAM:
3D toolpaths
Advanced toolpath containment
Rest Machining
4th Axis and 3+2 Machining
Hands-On
Programming CAM to machine fixture and bottle opener
Machining fixture plate and bottle opener using HAAS or Tormach CNC machines.
NOTE: Students must has prior HAAS experience or have attended the 3-day Hands On CNC class in order to use the HAAS machines.
Instructors: Kevin Ellingson, Jared Pickrell
PREREQUISITES: Must be comfortable using Fusion 360 CAD and CAM.
