How long does the apprentice of CNC lathe usually need to learn?

If you have a general automobile foundation, it is easy to learn. These things get started quickly. I suggest making a good friend in your factory. Then write down the program and ask him the meaning of every sentence in the program (in fact, the format of the program is the same). Just ask a little more and you will learn it easily. Besides, you already know the simple programming, and the rest is fine. Believe in yourself and you will succeed.

Learning CNC mainly needs to master the following knowledge:

1: programming of CNC machine tools (because the work of the whole machine tool depends on program instructions).

2. Operating machine tools, such as fixture loading and unloading, workpiece clamping, coordinate positioning, processing methods, processing flow, metal technology and grinding, personally feel that grinding must be learned. (Sharpening the knife is more difficult) Although mechanical knives are used now, some products still need to be ground by themselves, such as forming knives and special thread knives.

3. To understand mechanical drawing, you must learn to understand it.

4. computer drawing: (common AutoCAD, Pro/E, UG, etc. Among them, Pro/E and UG can directly generate the program code of CNC machine tools after drawing the graphics, and directly transmit it to CNC machine tools for processing. If you just study CNC lathes, it has nothing to do with these computer drawings, because they are generally used by CNC milling machines and machining centers.
