3-axis Turning (X, Z and C axis) Programmer Course – Fanuc Control

Course description

Class size is between 6 – 8 attendees maximum.

Cost of course is £1,050.00 + VAT per attendee.

This course is modular, with the first 2.5 days focusing on X and Z axis programming operations, and the additional day focusing on C axis programming.

It is also possible to attend just the extra day C axis component of the course as long as the attendees have already undertaken and completed the first 2.5 days (X axis and Z axis) at the Academy.

This is a standard turning course designed for people with minimal knowledge and experience of engineering but who want to acquire the necessary skills to program 3-axis lathes.

The course is aimed at operators and setters looking to acquire new and upgrade existing skills, and at adult learners with basic knowledge and experience of the machining process looking to make the step up to CNC Programming.

The course is suitable for customers with either DN Solutions (Doosan) 3-axis lathes or other manufacturers’ Fanuc controlled machines with a similar configuration.
