- Prepare programs directly from engineering drawings.
- Modify and optimize existing CNC programs.
- Select appropriate machining sequences and cutting parameters.
- Optimize tool paths to reduce cycle time and tool consumption.
- Use canned cycles for roughing, finishing, threading, drilling, boring, grooving, etc.
- Troubleshoot program-related machining problems.
- Knowledge of *Fanuc / Siemens / Mitsubishi* controls preferred.
Machine Setup
- Independently set up CNC turning machines for new jobs.
- Select suitable cutting tools, inserts, holders and boring bars.
- Set tool offsets and work offsets.
- Perform component alignment and centering.
- Set up steady rests, hydraulic/4-jaw chucks and other work-holding arrangements.
- Check component runout before machining.
- Carry out program prove-out and first-piece approval.
