You begin by bringing a Swiss-style CNC lathe online—one of the 20’s, 32’s, 38`s, NTY3’s, Hanwha, or Hardinge machines—verifying the setup against blueprints and set-up sheets. Throughout the shift, you run production to established procedures and guidelines, occasionally moving to finish machines, hand tools, fixtures, and jigs to complete critical steps.
Quality is constant. You read and interpret blueprints and inspection check-sheets, then perform AQL-driven inspections using calipers, micrometers, height stands, Micro-Vu, Keyence, optical comparator, and VICI measuring tools. When a dimension drifts, you correct the issue at the machine and sign off on setups completed by other operators.
Every part counts—literally. You keep precise tallies of completed and scrapped components, complete production paperwork, and record all required data in the company database. You remove burrs wherever specified, make smart tool changes and machine adjustments, and keep a close eye on work orders through the Visual Labor Entry system. You comply with all policies and procedures and take on all other duties as assigned.
