Week 15
Wildcard Week
Brief Overview
In this assignment, we have a deep freedom to choose any machine to work on and Document its Process and Operation. So I have choose to work on the newly established CNC training centre, at our Vigyan Ashram workshop. In this week I learn about CNC machine, its numeric code, various tools and prepared a job on it for my final project.

Individual Assignment:-
In this assignment:-
1.From a numeric Code test and operate a CNC Lathe Machine.
2.Design and produce a with a digital process and Document what I have learned.

Problem and Solution
- Mismatch of the Machine Parameters due Power Cutt-off, so for this we have to provide long backup system.
- Offset position mismatch due overwrite from original position, for this we take a screenshot of the origin coordinates setup during process.
