Job Description

A day in this role

You arrive to a clean, temperature-controlled floor and start by reviewing blueprints and operation sheets. You select and install the correct punches and dies in the turret, align and clamp the workpiece to the table and end gauges, and dial in forward and lateral dimensions on the machine scales. You rotate the turret to the specified tool, compute punch charts from the drawings, and use the foot pedal to run each sequence. Between setups, you position the center punch to the touch plate and scratch layout lines as needed.

Quality is constant: you check parts using dial and vernier calipers, micrometers, squares, and height gauges, following AQL standards and work instructions. If dimensions drift or a setup looks off, you flag it to a supervisor or setup specialist immediately. Throughout the shift you keep precise counts of good and scrapped pieces, complete production paperwork, and update the Traverse Manufacturing System. You care for tools and measurement devices, keep your station orderly, and report any equipment concerns right away.
