Description: Summary The Machinist sets up and operates conventional, special-purpose, and computer numerical control (CNC) machines and machining centers to fabricate metallic and nonmetallic parts, applies knowledge of machine shop theory and procedures, shop mathematics, machinability of materials, and layout techniques in the most cost-effective manner possible with the machine tools, equipment and instructions provided. Essential Functions • Demonstrates the knowledge and ability to set up and run all shop support equipment and at least one of the following standard shop machines; mill, lathe, grinder, and CNC machinery. • Studies blueprints, sketches, drawings, manuals, specifications, or sample parts to determine dimensions and tolerances of finished workpiece, sequence of operations, and setup requirements. • Selects, aligns, and secures holding fixtures, cutting tools, attachments, accessories, and materials on machines, such as mills, lathes, jig borer, shaper, and grinders. • Calculates and sets controls to regulate machining factors, such as speed, feed, coolant flow, and depth and angle of cut, or enter commands to retrieve, input, or edit computerized machine control media. • Starts and observes machine operation to detect malfunctions or out-of-tolerance machining, and adjust machine controls or control media as required. • Verifies conformance of finished workpiece to specifications, using standard and precision measuring instruments. Requirements: Requirements • In-depth knowledge of machines and tools, including their designs, uses, benefits, repair, and maintenance. • Expertise in blueprint reading, both piece part, and assembly. • Proficient use of standard and precision measuring devices. • Skilled in shop math, including geometric, trigonometric, and algebraic functions. • Advanced knowledge of machining/manufacturing processes, assembly procedures, and mechanical functions. • Ability to develop specifications from general information and draw sketches of parts or products to be fabricated. • Demonstrable knowledge of design techniques, principles, tools, and instruments involved in the production and use of precision technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and models.
See More Details >>The CNC Machine Operator (HAAS) is an operations team member with the primary goal of satisfying customer requirements of quality, and delivery, by operating CNC machining centers in a safe and efficient manner. The duties include the operation of CNC machining centers that are commensurate to industry standards, with regards to program edits, setting up of tooling, and setting up the machine tool in general. Secondary deburring and packaging of finished parts, along with moving products to appropriate locations via appropriate equipment (i.e. fork lifts, cranes, pallet jacks) is required. Company forklift training is provided. Newer HAAS machining centers with integrated probing and network communications. Part sizes range from small (less than 1/4lb) to large (2000lbs). Minimum Qualifications • 2+ years experience operating CNC machining (milling) centers working with large parts in a heavy manufacturing environment and a 2 year technical degree in machining • Able to edit programs and adjust fixture & cutter comp; Tool Offsets, RPM & Feed Rates, change and adjust program details such as X-Y-Z locations • Overall understanding of optimizing CNC programs as needed • Intermediate Knowledge of HAAS controls EOE/M/F/VETS/DISABILITY XJ6
