CNC Machinist

General Function : Set up and operate numerically controlled machines to perform series of machining operations, such as turning, milling, boring, threading and facing on parts according to work instructions and procedures to assure Belvac's quality of work is upheld. Physical Requirements : Requires long periods of standing (up to 10 hours/day) Must be able to operate overhead cranes Although all production areas have overhead cranes, on occasion Manufacturing, Stockroom and Assembly employees may choose to lift items by hand for convenience. It is the responsibility of all employees to follow correct lifting techniques and seek help or utilize mechanical lifting aids as appropriate to avoid potential injury. Requires good eye, hand coordination Requires use of hand tools, files, sanders and grinders Primary Responsibilities Identifies proper tooling and checks instrumentation according to process sheets Makes new set up sheets for new jobs Select and installs preset tooling Selects and installs preset tooling in tool posts, turrets or indexing heads and automatics tool change magazine, in sequence specified on process sheet Reviews program to make sure that it is consistent with print May operate machine manually throughout first piece operation to verify accuracy of setup. Observes numerical displays on control panel and compares with data on process sheet to verify dimensional adjustments, feed rates and speeds of machining cuts. Inspects first-run piece and spot-checks succeeding pieces for conformance to specifications, using micrometers and precision dial gauges Ability to read programs May set tools before positioning them in machine, using precision gauges and instruments Use of machine dials, machine readout, measuring equipment Know and utilize the program prove out procedure Identifies proper tooling and checks instrumentation according to process sheets Understand/correction of machine alarms Recognize tool wear Verifies location and dimensions of holes, using measuring instruments, such as dial indicator, gauge blocks, telescoping gauge and internal micrometer Required to run at least two functionally different CNC Machining Centers, i.e. CNC lathe/CNC mill Edit program when needed Must run multiple machines. Use of tooling types/applications Education : HS Diploma or Equivalent Certificate Dover Corporation
