Course Overview

The “Horizontal Machining Centers” course provides an in-depth exploration of horizontal machining centers (HMCs), focusing on their operation, programming, and applications in modern manufacturing. This course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to efficiently operate HMCs, understand their advantages over other machining centers, and apply them to various manufacturing processes. Through a combination of theoretical instruction and hands-on practice, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of HMCs, from basic setup to advanced machining techniques.
