1. Machine Setup and Operation (Turning/Milling):

• Set up and operate CNC Turning and CNC Milling machines (lathes and vertical/horizontal machining centers) for the production of precision components, particularly for the barrel line.
• Load and secure raw materials, tooling, and fixtures onto the machines.
• Initiate and monitor machine cycles, adjusting settings, speeds, and feeds to optimize production and maintain part quality.

2. CNC Programming and Control:

• Proven expertise in operating and troubleshooting machines utilizing both Fanuc and Siemens CNC controllers.
• Perform program edits, offset adjustments (wear and geometry), and tool work-offs at the machine control to maintain tolerances.
• Collaborate with CNC Programmers/Supervisors on optimization and validation of new programs.

3. Technical Interpretation and Quality Control:

• Thoroughly read, interpret, and work from complex machine drawings, blueprints, and technical specifications, including Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Conduct in-process and final inspection of manufactured parts using precision measuring instruments (e.g., micrometers, calipers, bore gauges) to ensure adherence to tight dimensional tolerances.
• Identify and correct machining discrepancies and process deviations.

4. Tooling and Equipment Knowledge:

• Possess comprehensive knowledge of various cutting tools (inserts, drills, end mills, reamers, etc.), including selection, application, and proper handling for different materials and machining operations.
• Manage tool life, perform basic cutting tool changes, and maintain tool inventory at the machine.

5. Maintenance and Safety:

• Perform daily routine maintenance and preventative checks on CNC machines (e.g., checking fluid levels, chip management, general cleaning) to ensure optimal functionality and minimize downtime.
• Adhere strictly to all company safety policies and procedures, including the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and machine guarding.

6. Documentation and Reporting:

• Accurately complete all production, quality, and maintenance log sheets.
• Document any production issues, deviations, or machine malfunctions and communicate them clearly to the supervisor.
