IT 200 - Waterjet Programming Credit Hours: 2
An introduction to Computer Numerical Control theory, application and programming for CNC controlled waterjet machines. Students will develop programs used to operate waterjet cutting machines, as well as become familiarized with the Flow Master Software Suite used to operate CNC waterjet machines. Students will write and run programs with an actual CNC waterjet machine control. The final project is an advanced part produced on an operational CNC waterjet.
Course Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to:
- determine pierce location, define and create lead-ins and lead-outs and cutting geometry;
- define cut-speed percentage in order to determine quality of cut;
- read and interpret with understanding basic CNC programs utilized on waterjet machine;
- determine whether water or water and abrasive are required to perform cutting; and
- create, enter, save graph and troubleshoot CNC programs.
