Cam & NC machining

Computer Aided Manufacturing - You have heard these words but not spelled out; CAM is the acronymn we all use and probably did not know what it meant. More importantly, you need to know how to get around in a cam & nc machining system before the week long 5 axis training school. It does not matter what type of cam & nc machining system. We would prefer that it was cam, but not all trade/vocational schools have cam. Most have cam, fine, I don't care what it is! As long as it is a 3 axis/3D basic training course. It will provide you with functional knowledge and exposure to computer software operation in a CAM environment. Autocad is not really what we want here but if nothing else is available...it's better than nothing. The reason we want CAM schooling is that it is a true 3D environment. When we machine cylinder head ports, we will be working in 3D space...not a flat 2dimensional plane. Any experience you obtain will enhance your ability to advance while learning cylinder head port surface construction.

Scanning Equipment - We are a provider of scan and rescan digitizing systems. This is the beginning process that collects chamber and port data for later machining. The method for 3 axis scanning is quite different than the method used for 5 axis. cam & nc machining in 3 axis is done with the software that is provided with the cam & nc machining system. Tracer will produce cam & nc machining programs for machining chambers and ports but not in 5 axis. We teach you our 5 axis method which reduces the scanning time required to "map" the port model.
