Design of technological processes - CNC Technologist / Setter

• Cechownia
• ul. Bojkowska 35A
• 44-100 Gliwice

• 38 hours of professional practical course
• A certficate of completion in 6 languages (Polish, English, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish)
• Training script
• Writing aids (pen, notebook) - regarding stationary training
• Complete care of idividually assigned customer service person

We provide our trainees with 2 training laboratories with a total area of 162 m2, air-conditioned and spacious. The trainees' stations have been equipped with specialist teaching aids. Each participant has access to the latest tool catalogues, measuring devices and cutting tools, among others.

Our training rooms provide the opportunity to work on real industrial machine tools based on the most popular controllers – SINUMERIK and FANUC.

During practical classes we use our own diverse machinery park. Depending on the level of the course and the level of the group, we provide our students with the following fleet of machining machines

CNC Laboratory - MACHINE TOOLS

Tools used during courses

• measuring instruments: calipers, micrometers, height gauges, rulers, gauge blocks..
• demonstration tools:milling cutters, drills, taps, lathe tools with cutting inserts, folding tools, special tools, milling heads

Software

During the course, each participant has at their disposal INDIVIDUAL WORKSTATIONS with a touch LCD monitor, and specialized software that simulates the work with real drivers:

• Siemens SINUTRAIN Operate - actual operator panel SINUMERIK 828D / 840D
• FANUC NC GUIDE - actual operator panel FANUC
• HEIDENHAIN simulator
• MACH3 Simulator
• NX CAM - aided machining

SinuTrain Operate 4.5 SP2 is not only a training program, but also allows for programming CNC control SINUMERIK offline, due to the fact that it is based on the same system SINUMERIK Operate. It is therefore an ideal tool for the operator, technologist and setter of the CNC machine.

Mach3 is one of the most popular programs enabling control of the CNC machines featuring up to 6 axes. It makes it possible for the regular computer to become controller for any CNC machine. Manual control is based on G-codes, the program also enables continuous preview of tools and machining parameters.

Software offers a wide variety of functions, from simple NC programming to high performance and multiaxis machining, allowing realization of many tasks using just one system. NX software is applied in many branches of industry successfully fulfilling its role in aviation, automotive industry, medical equipment, foundry industry and machinery. NX CAM software is fitted with closely integrated post processing system that enables easy generation of the right NC code for nearly all types of machines and controller configuration. Many levels of checking accuracy of the NC program include simulation based on G-code, which eliminates the necessity of using separate simulation systems.

Our team of instructors consists of experienced programmers and operators with many years of professional experience, examiners from Regional Examination Boards in the profession of cutting machine tool operators, collaborating with industrial companies in the field of programming and operating numerically controlled machine tools, as well as conducting training courses. Designers and engineers implementing NX CAM software.

• Jan KOSMOL (ed.): Programming of Numerically Controlled Machine Tools. Silesian University of Technology, 2007
• Habrat W.: CNC Machine Tool Operator. KaBe, Krosno 2003

During our courses we particularly focus on exercises on actual CNC machines with Sinumerik and Fanuc control systems, presentations and computer-based exercises in programming CNC milling machines/lathes. We are the only training center in Poland to have introduced exercises on Siemens PLM Software - NX CAM (Manufacturing module).
