General Function

: Set up and operate numerically controlled machines to perform a series of machining operations, such as turning, live tool milling, drilling, boring, threading and facing on parts according to work instructions and procedures to assure Belvac’s quality of work is upheld.

Primary Responsibilities

:

Safety is our first priority. Machinist must be able to operate machinery safely and follow all established Safety Policies and Procedures.
Knowledge of turning process.
Understand and implement general machine set-up principles.
Reads drawing, job order, setup sheet, and tooling instructions to setup and process precision machined parts
Observes numerical displays on control panel and compares with data on process sheet to verify dimensional adjustments, feed rates and speeds of machining cuts.
Identify and communicate process improvements to Manufacturing Engineering or CNC Programming staff.
Lift workpieces manually or with hoist to position in work-holding device
Load program from network location
Ability to read G-code program for the purposes of proof-reading program before execution
Identify, load, measure, and set proper cutting tools in machine
Establishes work origin reference point in machine control
Recognize and compensate for tool wear
Understand and correct for unexpected taper and other inaccuracies.
Understanding and correction of machine alarms
Ability to perform first-piece and in process inspection using appropriate measuring instruments such as caliper, micrometer, bore gage, and indicator
Perform preventative maintenance on machines and related equipment.
Operate multiple machines simultaneously.
Deburr and part mark as needed
Must keep assigned machine(s) and work area cleaned and neat.
It is every employee’s responsibility to be aware of and work with Belvac's current documented Quality Management System as it pertains to their job requirements.
It is every employee’s responsibility to improve processes to reduce set-up and run-time standards when possible.

Physical Requirements
