W4 W5 4. CNC Lathe programming. 4.1 Describe the functions of some CNC codes and explain their usage. These could include: G0, G1, G2, G3, and M2. 4.2 Create a simple CNC lathe program Discuss and show how these codes are applied. Use the Cooltools text editor to create a simple program on a computer and simulate operation. (Give out the Project.) Write a program for a simple shape and simulate the process.. W6 5. Operate a CNC lathe. 5.1 Correctly set up a CNC lathe for facing, turning or other operations such as grooving and boring. 5.2 Create and run a simple CNC lathe program. This should include conducting prestart checks, loading and unloading the machine. Demonstrate setup and show a simple program running for a turning or facing operation. Students in groups to copy and run the program. Students to shut down, and prepare the machines for next class. Portfolio task Copy a simple program for the CNC lathe. Set up the lathe and run the program. Evidence can be shown in screen shots and photographs W7 Demonstrate set up for multiple operations. Project 5.3 Run a given CNC program for multiple lathe operations in one task Students in groups to copy and simulate the program. Program printouts 3
