CNC Machine Operator

Description:

The CNC Operator runs the machining centers in crankcase manufacturing, machining crankcases to exact specifications with in-process quality assurance.

The role offers a clear development path. It starts with line boring as the entry point, which needs no prior CNC experience, and grows into CNC machining on the Burkhardt & Weber (B&W) machines, with responsibility and pay increasing as operators progress.

What You Will Be Doing

 

• Set up and machine crankcases according to specifications, routings, control plans, and drawings, on the line boring machine and, at the advanced level, on the Burkhardt & Weber(B&W) machining centers with Sinumerik One control system
• Bore and align the bearing alleys of the crankcase, including the camshaft and crankshaft bores, re-boring as required to achieve precise alignment
• Clamp, reclamp, and unclamp crankcases, monitor the process, and correct as necessary
• Monitor, change, correct, and adjust tools as required
• Study machining instructions, routings, control plans, job orders, and blueprints to determine dimensional and finish specifications, sequences of operations, machine setups, and tooling requirements
   

Basic Requirements:

 

• Entry level, line boring: Completed vocational training as a machine and plant operator or a comparable qualification, or a U.S. equivalent such as a mechanical or machining trade school certificate, an Associate's Degree, or relevant hands-on experience in a machining environment.
• Direct work as CNC Operator on the B&W machines: Completed vocational training as an industrial mechanic specializing in production technology, or a comparable 3.5-yearapprenticeship in a metalworking profession, or 2 years of trade school or an equivalent Associate's Degree, or 3 years of experience in a heavy-duty machining environment; several years of experience operating NC-controlled machining centers; and knowledge of Sinumerik One control system.
• Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. without sponsorship. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time
   

Preferred Requirements:

 

• Experience operating Burkhardt & Weber (B&W) machining centers
• Knowledge of Sinumerik One control system would be particularly advantageous
• Several years of experience on a conventional boring mill (e.g., Collet) would be an advantage
• Experience machining crankcases or large cast components
• Intermediate knowledge of CNC controls, machines, and tools, including their designs, uses, repair, and maintenance
