The training workbook "Machine - based material processing - Part: Milling" deals
with the metalremoving process of milling. It provides a detailed description of
the various milling methods, e.g. surface milling using either a face milling cutter,
a peripheral milling cutter or an end milling cutter, and longitudinal profile milling.
It also presents the various types of milling machines and their functions, provides
instruction in professional machine operation and the review and setting of the
production parameters, and describes the necessary tools as well as the fitting
and adjustment of the tools and workpieces.
The project "Drill stand" is dealt with in 13 practical exercises, each accompanied
by work information, parts lists and work planning sheets as well as inspection
and evaluation sheets. The exercises are structured according to the "Leittext"
method and are based on the end-to-end process model. This approach fosters both
working and social competence.
The exercises are equally suitable for individual
and group work.
The trainee workbook comprises 13 practical exercises for the production of a drill stand, information on the milling process, parts lists, work planning sheets, and inspection and evaluation sheets including self-check and learning outcome controls.
