proLIGHT 1000 Milling Technology
Modern milling techniques are an essential
element in both small and large scale automated manufacturing industries.
intelitek's CNC proLIGHT 1000 Milling
Technologyintroduces students to the fundamentals of CNC
(Computer Numerical Control) milling by working with a variety of
actual and simulated robotic workcell applications.
Students grasp the fundamentals of
CNC milling by working with industrial based equipment to accurately
machine multiple complex parts. Students observe and experience
CNC's superiority over time consuming, less accurate, manually controlled
machine tools.
intelitek's tekLINK activities challenge
students to develop and edit programs and machine assorted parts.
Students gain hands-on experience in proper machine set up, cutting
tool selection, tool path simulation and machining center operation.
Students design solutions for industrial CNC milling applications
with emphasis on real industrial concerns, such as optimized programming,
accurate milling and increased productivity.
intelitek offers the rugged proLIGHT
1000 Machining Center. It features an intuitive Windows 95 software
interface and conform to industrial EIA, ISO, Fanuc, G and M code
standards.
tekLINK curriculum incorporates SCANS
and National Skills Standards in a 15-lesson format designed to
bridge the transition between school and the workplace.
The CNC Milling Technology is supported with optional multimedia enhancements,
and classroom management software which allows the
instructor total classroom control.

The ProLight 1000 Mill offers an affordable option for
teaching real world CNC programming skills. Uses standard R-8 collets
so finding tooling for this machine is easy. This machine also makes
a great addition to a CAD/CAM program when you need a machine to manufacture
prototype parts. Your students can draw their parts on the CAD system,
process the file through any popular CAM software and create standard
G&M codes that run the machine. "Art -To-Part" in your classroom!
