CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology
plays an important role in both small and large scale automated
manufacturing industries by enabling efficient and consistent production
of multiple, complex parts.
intelitek's CNC proLIGHT 3000 Turning
Center tekLINK introduces students to the fundamentals of CNC turning by
working with industrial-based equipment to machine parts. Students will
experience and appreciate CNC's superiority to the time-consuming, less
accurate manually controlled machine tools.
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 turning applications with emphasis on real industrial
concerns, such as optimized programming, accurate turning and increased
productivity.
intelitek offers the rugged proLIGHT 3000
Turning Center. It features an intuitive Windows 95 software interface and
conform to industrial EIA, ISO, Fanuc, G and M code standards.
The tekLINK curriculum
incorporates SCANS and National Skills Standards in a 15-lesson format
designed to bridge the transition between school and the workplace. The
tekLINKs are supported by an optional tekSURF multimedia curriculum
enhancement which guides students through the activities and tekSCOPE
lab/classroom management software, which provides instructors with total
classroom control.

| Curriculum
The tekLINK's Activities Book
contains 15 activities, each of which can be completed in one
45-minute lab session. Each activity includes the following
sections:
- Objectives - goals the student
will achieve,
- SCANS skills - competencies
the student will develop,
- Materials - specific items
needed for the activity,
- Overview - description of the
subjects to be explored,
- Procedures - includes a series
of tasks or operations the students perform; questions and
review conclude each activity,
- Worksheets - all questions and
tasks are printed on a set of worksheets for recording the
student's answers and lab results,
- Academics - contains
enrichment materials such as industrial applications and
opportunities.
