CNC Machine Tool Integration of Theory and Practice Classroom Multi-system Student Terminals Multi-system Teacher Terminal

CNC internship, as the most important practical foundation course in the engineering practice segment, is an essential prerequisite for students in mechanical-related majors studying courses such as engineering materials and fundamentals of mechanical manufacturing. It is a critical practical teaching component in the relevant professional teaching plans. It holds great significance in cultivating students' hands-on abilities and enables them to understand traditional mechanical manufacturing processes and modern mechanical manufacturing technologies. According to the construction standards and acceptance criteria for engineering training centers in higher education institutions, training in advanced manufacturing technologies and advanced management methods should account for 20% to 35% of the total internship time. As an indispensable part of modern manufacturing technology in internships, CNC internship also holds considerable importance. CNC operation internship is a key professional practice course for manufacturing-related and CNC-related majors. As a national-level CNC technology center, the Engineering Training Center can provide further assistance to students with higher demands and other individuals from both inside and outside the institution.

In the Engineering Training Center, CNC lathes and CNC milling machines often present practical challenges during student learning, such as overly small CNC panels, difficulty for students to clearly see the teacher's demonstration operations, and high risks during machine operation. To address these issues, an integrated theory-practice classroom is established. By connecting CNC lathes, CNC milling machines, CNC teacher stations, and multi-student CNC group stations via a network, an integrated teaching environment is created. Multiple CNC systems allow for alternating theoretical and practical sessions during teaching. Teachers can demonstrate machine operation in real-time from the teacher station, with video footage displayed on screens via cameras. They can also switch between camera feeds, teacher station, and student station views on large screens through a central console.

Integrated theory-practice teaching is a new teaching model based on work processes and action-oriented approaches. It overcomes the drawbacks of traditional teaching, where theoretical instruction is separated from practical operation, by organically integrating teaching, learning, and doing. This promotes classroom teaching efficiency and enhances students' practical skills. Therefore, there is a need for an "integrated training laboratory" that combines classrooms with practical training and internship sites to support corresponding teaching tasks. Such an "integrated training laboratory" serves as both a classroom for students to learn theoretical knowledge and a workshop for acquiring operational skills. It also functions as an enterprise for practical training and a base for student entrepreneurship and technological projects. The integrated theory-practice classroom construction project merges theoretical teaching and practical learning into one through an integrated teaching environment. In this setting, teachers use learning carriers such as central consoles, visual processing systems, and auditory processing systems to make teaching content more lively and clear. Students can easily switch between real machines and virtual machines, use virtual systems for program verification, and, with teacher authorization, remotely operate real machines. While remotely operating real machines, students deepen their understanding of theoretical knowledge, facilitating a transition to production training and avoiding personal and equipment safety accidents caused by unclear theoretical understanding or unfamiliarity with practical operations.

1. Student stations can write and verify programs in a one-machine multi-mode system, synchronize with the teacher station, and be directly controlled by the teacher station. The internal operational program nodes of student stations exceed 10,000, with no mutual interference during independent switching.
2. Student stations feature virtual machining capabilities, allowing students to use virtual machines to verify their programs, perform simulated machining, and identify and correct basic errors in the programs. Through infrared matrix and USB 3.0 interfaces, student stations synchronize handwriting position feedback communication and integrate with multi-mode simulation systems to achieve simulation effects comparable to operating physical machines. This enables students to master programming and operation of multiple mainstream CNC systems through multimedia intelligent integrated teaching. ★ Must support programming and operation of five CNC systems: FANUC, Siemens, Mitsubishi, HNC, and GSK.
3. One-machine multi-mode CNC teaching software functions include: CNC machine system editing panel, basic operations of CNC machine systems, CNC machine data settings, automatic operation of CNC machine systems, and program editing for CNC machine systems. Students can directly operate the CNC system interface on the computer screen, with touch controls simulating the actual CNC system panel, enabling program modification, verification, and control of simulated machine operation.
