COURSE OVERVIEW
Master the complete CNC manufacturing workflow from blueprint to finished component.
The CNC Programming & Operations program provides end-to-end practical training covering ISO G-code syntax, Cartesian coordinate geometry, workholding fixture alignment, tool touch-off routines, and real shop-floor production on Fanuc and Siemens industrial controllers.
Workholding & Coordinate Offsets
Indicate machine vises to zero runout, clamp raw stock securely, and establish precise Work Coordinate Systems (G54–G59) using mechanical edge finders and digital touch probes.
Tool Length & Wear Compensation
Set tool height offsets (H-codes), cutter radius compensation (G41/G42/G40), measure tool stickout, and dial in wear offsets for sub-micron part tolerances.
Certified Machinist & Operator Readiness
Graduate with extensive physical spindle hours, capable of independently setting up, dry-running, and operating multi-axis VMC machines and CNC lathes in aerospace and automotive industries.

PRACTICAL LEARNING
Real spindle hours. Real cutting tools. Real production parts.
At LENOCAM, we do not rely on passive software animations. Every student sets up industrial 3-axis VMC machines and CNC lathes, loads raw aluminum/steel stock, touches off cutting tools, and machines physical parts to engineering drawing specifications.
