MachinistFollows instructions to machine, fabricate, or assemble parts to print and operation sheet specifications using conventional and CNC machines including lathes, horizontal and vertical machining centers. Pre-sets and installs proper cutting tools select proper speeds, feeds, and depth of cut where applicable to maintain the proper quantity and quality standards. Inspects cutting tools for wear to ensure the quality of parts and makes adjustments during production run as required.
Interprets CAD data, prints and sketches with regard to fabrication and follows written and/or verbal instructions. Performs secondary operations during the machine cycle such as deburring and straightening. Inspects parts as they are produced using standard gages, micrometers, indicators, vernier calipers, depth gages, and other measuring devices, to ensure conformity to specifications.
Performs minor preventive maintenance to equipment and maintains coolant levels to ensure a steady supply of coolant/cutting fluids to the machine. Receives and, when assigned, provides cross-training for other tasks related to department functions and procedures. Recommends and executes changes to achieve process improvements and/or cycle time reductions.
Selects and loads proper CNC program in machine control to insure proper operation of the machine. Verifies gages and inspection equipment required are correct and appropriate for the task.Basic Qualifications:2 years, or equivalent experience/combined education, with additional specialized training in specific aspects of job functions and with demonstrated ability to meet production time standards with minimal defects for low to mid complexity partsKnowledge of basic shop math (metric conversion and arithmetic)Experience as CNC operator in multiple machine cellular manufacturing operationExperience working/machining steel, aluminum and stainless steel with knowledge of machining speeds and feeds requiredProficient in use of Measuring Equipment and able to verify conformance of machined work piece to specificationsKnowledge of M & G code to be able to edit & trouble shoot CNC program at machineDesired Skills:Experience in set up and operation of CNC horizontal, vertical machining centers and lathesExperience pre-setting cutting tools and setting up fixtures in machinesProficient with editing CNC programs and using FANUC controlsExperience working/machining steel, aluminum and stainless steel with knowledge of machining speeds and feeds requiredProficient at GD&TExperience programming with GibbsCAMExperience with Solid ModelingAbility to perform complex calculations related to machining
