Planning machining by studying work orders, blueprints, engineering plans, materials, specifications, drawings, reference planes, locations of surfaces, and machining parameters; interpreting geometric dimensions and tolerances (GD&T) Maintaining specifications by observing drilling, grooving, and cutting, and thread chasing operations; taking measurements; detecting malfunctions; troubleshooting processes; adjusting and reprogramming controls; replacing worn tools; adhering to quality assurance procedures and processes. Maintaining continuity among work shifts by documenting and communicating actions, irregularities, and continuing needs. Tend compression or injection plastic molding machines Align and secure pattern film on reference tables of optical programmers, and observe enlarger scope views of printed circuit boards. Analyze job orders, drawings, blueprints, specifications, printed circuit board pattern films, and design data to calculate dimensions, tool selection, machine speeds, and feed rates. Compare encoded tapes or computer printouts with original part specifications and blueprints to verify accuracy of instructions. Determine reference points, machine cutting paths, or hole locations, and compute angular and linear dimensions, radii, and curvatures. Determine the sequence of machine operations, and select the proper cutting tools needed to machine workpieces into the desired shapes. Enter computer commands to store or retrieve parts patterns, graphic displays, or programs that transfer data to other media. Enter coordinates of hole locations into program memories by depressing pedals or buttons of programmers. Modify existing programs to enhance efficiency. Observe machines on trial runs or conduct computer simulations to ensure that programs and machinery will function properly and produce items that meet specifications. Revise programs or tapes to eliminate errors, and retest programs to check that problems have been solved.
