Making Treasures Out of Metal with a CNC Operator

Making Treasures Out of Metal with a CNC Operator Job Description Setting up and running computer-controlled equipment to carry out precise operations like cutting, drilling, milling, or grinding metal or plastic components is the responsibility of the CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Operator. Making ensuring that every component produced precisely meets the technical blueprints is your main goal. To maintain high production standards, you will perform quality checks, adjust tools as needed, and keep an eye on machine performance. A technically savvy person with a keen eye for detail, a strong mechanical aptitude, and the capacity to function effectively in a high-precision production setting is the ideal candidate. Responsibilities Machine Operation: To create parts, load raw materials (such as metal bars, sheets, or castings) into the machine and follow pre-programmed steps. Setup & Tooling: Using the setup sheet as a guide, choose and install the appropriate cutting tools, fixtures, and attachments needed for a given task. Blueprint Reading: To comprehend measurements and tolerances, decipher technical drawings and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) symbols. In-Process Inspection: Following each cycle, use precision measurement tools (such as bore gauges, vernier calipers, and micrometers) to confirm that the parts satisfy specifications. Offsets & Adjustments: To account for tool wear or material changes, monitor machine output and modify tool offsets, speeds, or feeds. Preventative Maintenance: To extend the life of equipment, clean the machine every day, check the coolant levels, and lubricate the moving parts. Skills: Technical literacy is the capacity to read and comprehend technical documents as well as G-code and M-code (basic comprehension). Mathematical Proficiency: Ability to calculate angles and dimensions using trigonometry and basic shop math. Strong hand-eye coordination is necessary for manual dexterity while working with sensitive tools and intricate machine configurations. Focus on Quality: A "check-twice, cut-once" approach to reduce waste and rework. We invite you to apply and explore this exciting opportunity! Warm Regards, HR - Maria
