§Study material — industrial technician
This page brings together the trade's core concepts so you have a quick reference when you study or need to explain a workflow. Use it together with the articles and templates.
You should be able to explain this
- 01What machining is, and what machines are used
- 02Why tolerances and measurement are the core of quality
- 03How a task moves from drawing to approved part
- 04Why clamping and cutting data determine the result
- 05The most important safety rules for rotating machines
Central concepts
| Concept | Short explanation |
|---|---|
| Chip-producing | Machining where material is cut away as chips |
| Turning | Rotating workpiece, fixed tool — round shapes |
| Milling | Rotating tool over fixed workpiece — surfaces and grooves |
| CNC | Computer-controlled tool movement |
| Tolerance | Permitted deviation on a dimension |
| Cutting data | Speed, depth and revolutions when cutting |
| Clamping | Securing the workpiece during processing |
Safety at a glance
- 01No gloves loose clothing or jewellery with rotating tool
- 02Always wear eye protection during processing
- 03Never touch a rotating workpiece or tool
- 04Remove chips with hook or brush never with your hand
- 05Check clamping before machine starts
Check yourself
- 01Can you explain the difference between turning and milling?
- 02Can you say what a tolerance is and why it is important?
- 03Can you describe how you work safely with a rotating machine?
