CNC Machines

CNC Machinery is how the team is able to quickly make complicated parts. We use a CNC lathe, CNC Mill and CNC router to make our complecated parts. Our CNC machines use G-code generated from our part models to form tool paths and percisly make cuts and drill holes. Team 93 uses HAAS CNC machines, and parts are CAM'd in Inventor.

CNC Machine safety

The CNC mill is used to square material. We use it to make parts that either have a large quantity, or require a lot of detail. The CNC mill is more efficient then if you were to make the part manualy.

  • Always make sure the doors are locked

  • To stop the Machine and return it to the first line of code press the RESET BUTTON

  • Never point compressed air at yourself or others

  • Keep all body parts away from - Chips - Tool changer - Window access panel - Spindle - Table movement

  • To stop the Machine but keep the spindle spinning press Feed Hold

  • Chips should NEVER be removed by hand

  • The number one cause of injury in a machine lab is an inotentive operator

  • To stop all machine motion and the spindle press the E-stop

  • You still have to wear safety glasses even though the machine is working in an enclosed area

  • Slips, trips and spills, are the most common shop accidents and are preventable.
