This
course consists of the presentation of numerical control programs or
mechanical-industrial processes controlled by software. It is oriented to
satisfy different knowledge areas that are necessary for the best use of
technology aimed for the automation of processes and manufacturing.
The
control of processes controlled by software is contained in an Introduction to
SOLID WORKS, CAD, CAM, and Practical CNC Machining, Creating Toolpaths for a
CNC 3-Axis and multi-Axis, Introduction to Engineering Design and Manufacturing
with Autodesk Fusion 360.
The
content of this course is oriented to introduce the student to the knowledge of
numerical control programming with the use of industrial and open-source
programming tools used to manipulate a machine with 3, 4 and 5 axes. In the
development of this course, it is sought to give an overview of recognizing several
of these programs with their corresponding laboratory implementation for the
verification and improvement of the control software. At the end of this course,
the student must be able to recognize the different models of design and
control software, carry out the integration of virtual control to machines with
change between production series in a correct way that guarantees the
efficiency of the CNC machine in time, production and quality.
Prior knowledge of Autocad or Solidworks software manipulation is
required preferably.
