The CNC Workshop is the only Computer Numerical Control (CNC) text and multimedia package currently available. This flexible, unique package provides many benefits that can't be found in stand-alone texts. Using the multimedia CD-ROM, students can visualize CNC concepts through vivid animations, virtually visit machine shops through videoclips of processes and machine tools, and view numerous examples. The CD also features CNCez, simulation software that actually allows students to program numerical control code and then see a simulation of the tool path or process that the code would generate. The code can also be sent to an actual machine. This package is an excellent simulation and animation tool for milling and turning and can be used to test existing programs or write and edit new programs.This package covers the basics of CNC programming, including step-by-step coverage of machining processes, fundamentals of CNC, and basic CNC programming concepts. It can be used as a stand-alone package in a hands-on CNC course or can be used as a supplement in a comprehensive manufacturing process or numerical controls course. The book and CD package is an excellent instruction tool for CNC programming and many of the animations and videoclips can be used for classroom presentation.
