Computerized Numerical Control

The purpose of this course is to teach the general fundamentals of stamping. Topics include the dangers of a press operation, the primary components of presses and their functions, the operations of various types of dies, various stamping production methods, and the numerous components used to make up various dies. Upon completion students should be completely familiar with stamping operations and have a fundamental knowledge of how dies are constructed and how they shape material.

This course is an introduction into constructing and testing dies. Emphasis is placed on safety, machining skills, die construction, and die tryout. Upon completion the students should be able to read a print, construct the die from that print, and test its performance.

This course serves as a follow on to CNC 160 Tool and Die Construction and Tryout. Emphasis is placed on safety, inspection, measurement, sharpening, grinding, disassembly, and the reassembly process. Upon completion the students should be able to safely inspect a die and perform the necessary functions to insure it is ready for use.

This course introduces the application and use of jigs, fixtures and stamping dies. Emphasis is placed on design and manufacture of simple jigs, fixtures and stamping dies. Upon completion, students should be able to design and build simple jigs, fixtures and stamping die components.
