CNC Mitsubishi Programming

Description
This class will teach students the fundamentals of
basic programming. Students learn Cartesian Co-
ordinate Systems, G Codes, basic M Codes, word
address, canned cycles, cutter radius compensation,
and sub programs. Participants will be given many
different examples, as well as write many programs.
Safety lines and technique will also be taught.
