LSP1 Classroom of the production programming on CNC machines (M74-040/A)
Responsible person: Ing. Ján Varga, PhD.
Location: Mäsiarska 74
Focus of the classroom
The CNC machine tool manufacturing programming classroom focuses on CAD part designs, programming methods and toolpath creation for complex part machining. The learning process addresses the proper selection of part manufacturing technology with respect to achieving the required accuracy based on drawing documentation. The classroom is used for educational purposes as well as professional training of students in the study programs of bachelor studies (PPSV, TMaISV), engineering studies (PPSV, ST). Within these disciplines, students acquire skills in working with software tools in the areas of CAD/CAM technologies that are used in engineering practice.

In the classroom of production programming on CNC machine tools there are 10 EMCO programming consoles with panels for Heidenhaim TNC 460 and Sinumerik 840D control systems. The programming consoles are used to understand the essence of the milling and turning process with direct links to the real process through the EMCO concept Mill 155 CNC milling machine and the DMG CTX 310 eco CNC lathe, which are part of the educational process. The classroom is used to gain experience in shop floor programming through the consoles and programming of shaped surfaces through CAM software, which students can use in their term papers, theses, or in the realization of their own designs.
