1. Introduction
The objective of this laboratory is to provide hands on experience of computer numerical
control (CNC) machines. The machines are widely for bulk metal shaping.
Milling is a machining operation in which a workpiece is fed past a rotating cylindrical
tool with multiple cutting edges. The axis of rotation of the tool is perpendicular to the feed
direction. The tool is called the milling cutter and the cutting edges are called teeth. Mostly plane
surfaces are created through milling.
2. Lab activities
Safety in lab

Task

Form

Each student gather in group

In sequence, each student read the saftety clause. If not
understand, put a note and JP/PJP will explain later.
Sign the acknowledgement forms
JP/PJP will give 10 questions about raw material, tool and
equipment application in this lab.
Student must find out the answer. (Eg. tool name & their
purpose, raw material description and the final product, etc..)
JP/PJP give brief explainaton on all machines in AMC ( their
function advantages & limitation)
Student must give attention. Prefer to take a note.
A case study requires student to find out an answer on the
specific problem in production.
Based on the chosen case study, JP/PJP will explain and
demonstrate process sequence (SOP) for the selected process.
In certain cases, student will be asked to do spesific task.
Student must explain thoroughly on outcome of their
investigation

3. Case study : CNC Milling (HAAS)

Please use the attached process sheet.

Measure dimension and weight of a workpiece used in this lab
Describe a method how the workpiece tighten to the worktable
Know how to operate the machine;
o Control Panel Overview
o Entering Program
o Program Execution
Measure cutting time to complete a single machining operation.
Measure after machining part weight
Get a copy of CNC programming
o Explain the first 10 operation in the CNC programming
o Explain the last 5 operation in the CNC programming
Using the related equation, calculate;
o Cutting time (for single operation)
o Material removal rate (MRR)
Compare your result with the experiment result

4. Lab report
For your project report, provide the following:
1. Use a cover page similar to the labsheet format.
2. Contents for the report are;
Introduction
Raw materials
Process tools
Machines and their applications
Case study Process setting / Design consideration/ Product defect & countermeasure
Conclusion/Lesson learned
References
3. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this laboratory. Did the laboratory help you to learn
the material better? Explain why or why not.
4. The report should be done in MS Word and an equation editor should be used for all
equations.
5. Equations should be numbered and plots should be numbered and referenced with a
descriptive caption.
6. Each group must submit a hard copy of the report.
