Description: Sets-up completely and operates machine tools equipped with numerically controlled multiple axis continuous paths, where it is required to have a complete knowledge of computer numerical control (CNC) including process controls and pull-down menu systems, manual mode controls and selections, control intervention and over-rides. Understands the interface of multiple machine functions. Performs all contact and non-contact measurements to self-verify conformance of product, tools, and equipment. Machines highly variable and/or nonrepetitive parts to exacting and coordinated tolerances, where it is required to exercise ingenuity and a complete knowledge of machine shop theory, of machine capability and capacity, and the machinability of the materials used; devises unusual machining methods; improvises and adapts tooling in order to fully utilize all functions of the machine and to minimize the number of setups and amount of machining required. Locates, drills and bores precision holes. Performs tool try and machining operations to specified tolerances required during the initial usage of completely new discs, program manuscripts, fixtures, cutters, and associated equipment. Enters program data into computer either through a disc furnished by programming for complex programs, or by using manual data input (MDI) for less complex projects.
Performs rework of the level of difficulty of the operations described above.
Sets up completely and independently all types of numerically controlled machine tools such as multiple head continuous path milling machines, numerically controlled lathes, and point-to-point machine tools. Operating such machine tools for initial runs and tool try, or to make runs on complex parts, where it is required to exercise a knowledge of computer numerical control (CNC) controls including processing controls and pull-down menu systems, manual mode controls and selections, control intervention and over-rides and machine shop theory, of machine capacity, of the machineability of materials used, and of applicable inspection requirements. Determines sequence of machining operations. Devises unusual machining methods as required to machine an acceptable first article per specifications. Improvises and adapts tooling in order to fully utilize all functions of the machine and to minimize the number of setups and amount of machining required.
Performs rework of the level of difficulty of the operations described above.
Establishes operating parameters and sequences, sets up, encodes, adjusts, and operates computerized numerically controlled machine tools to perform a variety of machining operations in manual or automatic modes.
Utilizes a computer workstation and applicable software to perform varied tasks such as part layout which may be downloaded into the machine controller to produce machined parts.
Checks material, cutters and available references for accuracy and completeness. Makes and/or checks layouts on parts as required. Pre-sets cutters as required.
Recognizes improper functioning of equipment, takes corrective action or reports trouble to responsible personnel.
Sets up completely and independently, operates plain, universal, horizontal, vertical, and independent stand-alone machining centers to develop cutter paths. Also operates various types of automatic duplicating and profiling machines to machine complex highly variable, and/or non-repetitive parts to exacting and coordinated tolerances. Required to exercise ingenuity, have a complete knowledge of machine shop theory, machine capacity and the machinability of materials used. Plans the sequence of machining operations. Devise unusual machining methods to improvise and adapt tooling in order to fully utilize all functions of the machine to minimize the number of setups and the amount of machining required.
