Standex International in Los Angeles, CA seeks a Check & Straighten operator. No experience required; on-the-job training provided to perform fit-up on pedestals and verify parts against specs.
Responsibilities include using solvents, punches, fixtures, gauges, and hand tools to shape and verify parts, maintain cleanliness, and follow safety guidelines in a fast-paced environment.
Standex International is a global industrial growth company operating through our market-leading brands in electronics, cutting-edge forming technologies, engraving and scientific refrigeration. We work with our customers to advance progress through innovation. From inventing and producing parts for next-generation space vehicles, to evolving vaccine refrigeration, designing functional textures for everyday products, improving renewable energy technology and much more, we are focused on making what’s next possible.
Standex Aerospace & Defense (A&D) manufactures large customized near-net-shaped metal-formed components such as fuel domes, lip skins, and other aerospace components. Our unique spin forming process is the most efficient forming process for these parts, while we also have a complementary deep draw forming process for parts with varying shapes and contours. These parts are difficult to manufacture due to their size and tight specifications. With facilities in the US and UK, our segment is positioned to serve customers in the space, aviation, and defense markets in the North American and European regions. Our deep knowledge of the forming process, combined with our multiple decades of experience, has positioned us as a critical manufacturing partner.
A Check & Straighten operator corrects and verifies parts to comply to prescribed requirements of contour, flatness, waviness, angularity, etc., as applicable.
The process uses a tool, such as a punch or check fixture, to mechanically manipulate the profile of a part so it closely matches the tool. This operation is performed by a skilled operator using hand tools and measuring instruments, such as feeler gauges or go/no-go gauges.
