# Week 1 Manual Control
|
||||
|
||||
In week one, students dive right in and learn manual control of the CNC milling machine.
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with the desktop 3018, students learn the parts of the machine and what they do.
|
||||
|
||||
Concepts introduced include:
|
||||
|
||||
* X, Y, Z planes
|
||||
* Gantry, spindle, stepper motors
|
||||
* Spindle clearance
|
||||
* Gcode
|
||||
|
||||
**Exercise:**
|
||||
|
||||
Install the manual offline controller on the 3018. Use it to control the x and y movement of the gantry and bed. Learn to adjust speed control for the motors as well as the spindle.
|
||||
|
||||
Students now return to the smaller desktop machine for the manual cutting example. Concepts introduced include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Collets
|
||||
* Spring clamps
|
||||
* Bit properties
|
||||
* Chip load/spindle speed
|
||||
* Spoilboard
|
||||
|
||||
**Exercise:**
|
||||
Learn to use clamps for securing material to the bed of the machine. Using XPS foam, students can get used to manually cutting using an offline controller.
|
||||
|
||||
## Large Machine Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
Repeat the same exercise on the larger Omni CNC milling machine. Students should all get a chance to control it. Additional concepts introduced for the larger machine include:
|
||||
|
||||
* High/Low speed controls
|
||||
* Distance setting
|
||||
* Homing on startup
|
||||
|
||||
Students should have an understanding of the importance of manual control of the machine, when it will be used in each job they do.
|
||||
|
||||
**Exercise - Manual Calibration**
|
||||
|
||||
Play the targetting game to learn how to manually position the tool head as you would do in setting an Origin Point.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Students then secure a piece of hardwood to the CNC bed using spacers for surfacing. Each should get a chance to manually surface the hardwood using a surfacing bit.
