Computer Numerical Control (CNC) has evolved from simple automation into a cornerstone of intelligent, adaptive manufacturing. This advanced course is designed for experienced machinists ready to move beyond routine production into optimization, analysis, and innovation. Learners will master sophisticated programming techniques, including macros, variables, and subprograms, while exploring multi-axis machine kinematics, Tool Center Point (TCP) control, and advanced troubleshooting strategies.
 
The course also covers leadership skills essential for advanced operators and supervisors, covering mentoring approaches and continuous improvement methodologies that reduce cycle times and improve surface quality, with industry-neutral principles applicable to any CNC environment.
Course Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Identify advanced G-code and M-code functions, including macros, variables, and subprograms
  • Explain multi-axis machine kinematics, Tool Center Point (TCP) control, and Tilted Working Plane concepts and their applications
  • Describe troubleshooting procedures for common CNC errors and optimization strategies for cycle time and tool performance
  • Recognize advanced machine features such as look-ahead algorithms, tolerance control, and predictive maintenance indicators
  • Discuss leadership approaches for mentoring and continuous improvement in CNC operations
