Organisation profile
IMR is Ireland's leading independent research and technology organization, RTO. All Irish Manufacturing Research’s projects focus on translational innovation projects, in collaboration with industry, to demystify, de-risk and deliver emerging concepts, processes and technologies.
Training aim
This is an advanced Fanuc milling course designed for people with some knowledge and experience of the machining process and CNC controls but who want to acquire the necessary skills to program multi- axis lathes including C&Y. The course is aimed at operators and setters looking to acquire new and upgrade existing skills, and at adult learners with knowledge and experience of the machining process looking to make the step up to CNC Programming. The course is suitable for customers with either Doosan multi-axis lathes or other manufacturers' Fanuc controlled machines with a similar configuration.
Learning objectives
This course is designed for operators/programmers already competent in understanding the standard ISO codes for turning and require upskilling and to use the facility of the C & Y Axis on a lathe. The ideal candidates are already proficient in CNC late operation and should have a good foundation in ISO G – codes.

Trainer's profile
Mr. Jeff Hart is Manager of Mills Training Academy for 16 years,
Started career as an apprentice Toolmaker in 1972 ~ 1976, and with quite high qualifications achieved was asked at the age of 21 to start part time teaching in a college YOPS (Youth Opportunity Scheme) for 5 years while simultaneously working in a Company as a Toolmaker with Plastic Injection Moulds.
While at the Company, took the opportunity to learn Programming in Heidenhain and Fanuc. Several years later in 1985 the chance to join Fanuc came up and was employed as the Training Manager. Travelled all over Europe training Machine Tool Builders, Agents and Fanuc Employees in Programming, Service Issues and New products from Fanuc.
After 10 years Mills CNC joined them as their Training Manager and create a training centre in the Midlands which was ultimate ambition.
Since Mills started the Training Academy we have had over 8,000 students come through the system, not just from the UK but many from Ireland, Egypt, India & Poland etc.
Qualifications include:
City & Guilds in Production Engineering Full Cert.
D32 & D34 level qualified for NVQ’s (Non Vocational Qualifications)
Fanuc Controlled Lathes up to 9 Axes
Fanuc Controlled Machining Centres up to 5 Axes
Heidenhain 5 Axes Machining Centres.
Siemens ShopMill & Shopturn
FeatureCam, Cimco & FAPT Software trained.
