The School of Automotive Machinists is proud to announce the start of our new Automotive Engine CNC Machining Program beginning Summer of 2009. This course will allow students to learn and gain experience in the setup, programming and operation of five-axis CNC machining. Students will thoroughly explore all aspects of the machining center including digitizing and G-code programming. With the industry quickly turning to these highly sophisticated and accurate machines, this course will qualify graduates as a CNC automotive machinist. The course will also prepare them for employment in the more technologically advanced shops in motorsports. The CNC class will be taught on an industry leading Haas ES-5-4T Horizontal Machining Center allowing hands-on training from the most basic techniques to complex fifth-axis cylinder head porting. Students will thoroughly explore all aspects of CNC machining including coordinate geometry, control systems programming, tool function, and hands-on machining. The dedicated classroom is equipped with Dell Computers for each student. They will be using Master Cam's just-released X-4 CNC programming software. The instructor will be able to access each student's work from his own computer. SAM students will now have the option to graduate with CNC machining skills.
