CNC MACHINING Vise Clamp Stop Project/Lab (MCH 234 and/or MCH 122)
The Vise Clamp Stop Project is a basic tool to introduce students to Computer Aided Machining (CAM) programing by creating two nearly identical parts. The first part is programed as a class with significant direct instruction. Then machined in groups of 2-4 students. The second part is programed in the groups of 2-4 using the information gathered during the first part production. During this lab the students produce 2 CAM programs, 2 NCF programs, 2 setup sheets (including complete tool lists), 2 parts, and 2 metrology reports that must be submitted as a completed part packet for evaluation. This lab can be done in one integrated class (like MCH 234) or as part of a programming class MCH 122 and a Machining lab (MCH 234).
