Workshop 3
Machining; CNC – Lathe – Process Sheet

General Rules and Instructions:

1- Safety First. Follow the rules and regulations imposed by the workshop and the technician in
charge.
2- Do not use any tool unless supervised by one of workshop technicians.
3- Lab coats are mandatory while being in the workshop.
4- Failure to follow these instructions will result in failure in this part of the assessment.

Objectives:

The objectives for this workshop are to:

1. Provide students the ability to lead/direct the technician during the machining process.
2. Identify centre lathe different parts.
3. Identify the different processes that can be carried out on the centre.
4. Prepare a process sheet for the required operations.
5. Estimate the specimen setting up, machining, and removing time.
6. Identify CNC different parts compared with conventional machine.

Methodology:

In this branch of workshop student will be given a rod, and it is required to machine this rod into the final
given configuration. Different parameters affect the machining process. Students will learn how to deal
with the software (different methods of programming GM codes and drafting), and will be asked to specify
the cutting speed and cutting tool feed rate. Students will also calculate the specimen setting up time of
machining, and removing time. At the end of the session each student will prepare a process sheet
describing the different stages of the machining process.

Report:

Each student will submit a report on lab. Including:

1. Description of centre lathe, cutting tools, and cutting parameters used.

2. Process sheet showing all cutting operations and corresponding times.
3. GM Code for CNC machine.
4. Produced component using CNC machine.
