Maintenance Course for CNC single-spindle 2 axis Lathes with Siemens Controls

Course description

This course is run at the Mills CNC Training Academy, Leamington Spa (depending on availability) or on-site.

To ensure a positive learning experience course size is  limited to 3 attendees.

Cost of course is £700.00 + VAT per attendee (at Leamington only)

This is a practical course aimed at companies, including Mills CNC customers, who have Siemens-controlled DN Solutions or Doosan lathes or similar Siemens-controlled machines manufactured by other machine tool builders.

The course will appeal to companies who have an in-house Machine Tool Maintenance or Service Department and need to increase the skill levels of their employees, thus enabling them to plan and undertake systematic trouble-shooting and preventative mechanical maintenance on Siemens-controlled lathes.

To get the most from this course it is important that attendees have experience of a machine tool’s mechanical operation and the CNC control’s  systems and functions.
