Day 3 of CNC Machining

Yeng je very hardworking.:p

Turning simulation- not success yet..hehe

Settings for tools and workpiece dimensions


Setting the offset


The whole machine with controller and display monitor

Time passed by very fast and today is already day 3 of this course, which means it's going to end soon :D.. Today we look into the turning process which involved the lathe machine. It seems very easy at first as we have less axis now! For lathe machine, we only have 2 axis, x and z. The difference between turning and milling is the number of axis involved, for turning machine, the workpiece is turning and the tool is stationary while milling is the opposite way round. Milling usually used for different pattern on a flat workpiece, while turning is of course only for cylindrical workpiece. Very interesting and Mr. Hisyam said that we will learn it in 4th year later, which I dun have to worry too much on this..Plus can get a certificate on this, free breakfst, lunch and tea time too..Haha.
