From July 9th to 14th of 2016, with the propose of professionalize and specialize even more the staff belonging to the Technological Innovation Park (Parque de Innovación Tecnológica, PIT), took place the course named Usage and Programming of Computer Numerical Control Lathe with FANUC Controller, imparted to PIT-UAS employees and collaborators, by engineer Jesús Armando Gámez Wilson, from the Sinaloa Science Centre (Centro de Ciencias de Sinaloa, CCS).
The 8 collaborators who attended to the seminar sessions learned about theoretical (CNC machine and G Code) and practical lessons (FANUC controller usage, CAD/CAM simulator and automatic code G creation).
In the course given by Gámez Wilson, students from different disciplines participated, these students currently develop their initiatives at the Park’s Projects Development area, and possess knowledge on industrial processes, electronics and sustainable energies; additionally, the Design and Modelling Lab’s manager, the Robotics and Virtual Reality Lab’s responsible, as well as mechatronics engineers from the PIT-UAS’ Prototypes Workshop, also attended to the seminar.
Finally, it is important to mention that all the knowledge acquired by the PIT-UAS’s staff through this course will be applied for the creation of prototypes for the interdisciplinary applied research projects that take part at the university’s innovation centre.
