Further Training for TVET teachers on CNC simulation software- TopMill and TopTurn

16.06.2022

The trainer Mr Hartmut Stein explained the special functions of the MTS software.

Parameter programming and arithmetic operations to calculate technological data by the CNC control with ShopTurn and ShopMill software.

ShopMill programmes were transferred via postprocessor to a Siemens CNC-control at the milling machine.

The MTS programme was entered into CNC machine.

TVET teachers and the trainer – Mr Harmut Stein at the end of group 2 training.

Two training courses, lasting 60h for each, on “Programming with TopMill and TopTurn and operation of CNC Machines were conducted in LILAMA 2 International Technology College from 12 – 22.04.2022, and 09 – 20.05.2022. The two practice-oriented courses were conducted in continuation of an earlier conducted online training of 136h on virtual programming and setting up CNC machines with MTS, a standard CNC programming and simulation software.

Mr. Hartmut Stein, a German CNC-technology expert and experienced trainer in the industry applied CNC programming, machine operation and maintenance, conducted the training for 20 TVET teachers of LILAMA 2, Hue, Ha Tinh, Ninh Thuan, VCMI, Long An and An Giang Colleges and provided following main competencies:

programming of milling and turning machines in G code and with cycles
setup of real CNC machine tools
machining of new project works
connection of theoretical and practical training with the MTS of LILAMA 2, Hue, Ha Tinh, Ninh Thuan, VCMI, Long An and An Giang software and post-processor translation for milling and turning in the CNC languages FANUC and SIEMENS

All 20 participants could pass the final assessments in form of industry-oriented real work assignments oriented on the German examination standard and will receive a certificate after completing the series of training.

The practice-oriented training courses were conducted in the frame of the Development Partnership with the Private Sector (DPP) “Improving the Training Quality in CNC Technology”. The DPP is implemented jointly by the cooperation partners Mathematisch Technische Software-Entwicklung GmbH (MTS), LILAMA 2 International Technology College and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH (represented by the Programme Reform of TVET in Vietnam) and supported by the develoPPP.de programme of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
