Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to write, trial and edit basic programs for a range of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) to measure features of a part in a single work plane using a single probe. Appropriate levels of measuring, computer and engineering drawing skills should be selected with this unit.Where programming using multiple probes and more than one plane is required unit MEM12022 Program coordinate measuring machines (advanced) should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 4
