Course Overview
This course prepares students to use and program a Biesse machining centre. It explains set-up and operation of the machine, as well as basic programming, jigs, maintenance and troubleshooting. The machine used in this course has an XNC controller. The course is divided into two main sections: (1) The first section covers the theory and operation of the machining centre. Topics include: machine and process overviews, axis and interpolation, controller parts and functions, tooling, inserting technical data, running programs, jigs and routine maintenance. Instruction takes place in BCIT's state of the art Biesse Training Centre. (2) The second section provides an introduction to programming. Topics include: parts of a program, G-coding exercises, creating programs with optimized and non-optimized drilling, automatic tool changes, cutter compensation and basic sawing. Students are also introduced to worklists and the Rover Tooling System (Suction Cup). Students are given access to individual computer stations for the software instruction.
