This position plays a crucial role in maintaining high-quality standards and production efficiency on the shop floor.

Key Responsibilities

1. Machine Setup and Operation

• Set up CNC turning machines by installing tooling, setting work coordinates, and loading programs.
• Load raw material (bars, billets, or castings) into chucks or collets securely.
• Input and verify part programs into the CNC machine control (Fanuc, Siemens, Haas, etc.).
• Adjust cutting parameters such as feed, speed, depth of cut to optimize machine performance.
• Perform dry run and first-off inspection to ensure parts meet specifications before production run.

2. Machining and Production

• Operate CNC turning centers to produce parts as per the job order, design drawing, or process plan.
• Monitor machine operation during production cycles for abnormal sounds, vibrations, or tool wear.
• Replace worn or broken cutting tools and reset tool offsets as required.
• Maintain tight tolerances and surface finish according to engineering drawings.
• Run batch production efficiently while minimizing scrap, rework, and downtime.

3. Quality Control and Inspection

• Inspect finished components using precision instruments such as Vernier calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, and height gauges.
• Record measurement results and maintain inspection logs for each production batch.
• Identify deviations and inform the supervisor or quality team for corrective action.
• Ensure adherence to ISO, ASME, or customer-specific quality standards.

4. Preventive Maintenance and Safety

• Perform basic preventive maintenance tasks like lubrication, coolant level checks, and chip cleaning.
• Report machine malfunctions, unusual wear, or tool breakage to maintenance or supervisory staff.
• Ensure cleanliness and order in the work area, complying with 5S practices.
• Follow all safety guidelines, wear proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), and operate machinery in a safe manner.

5. Documentation and Reporting

• Maintain accurate production logs, shift reports, tool usage records, and inspection data.
• Interpret machining route sheets, tool lists, and process instructions.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and suggest enhancements in machining processes.
