Step into a 3rd-shift role where precision, problem solving, and craftsmanship meet. As our CNC Turret Punch Press Technician, you'll set up and run a turret press (Amada) to produce high-quality parts consistently and safely in a temperature-controlled environment.
Day in the Life
Prepare the machine: insert, align, and lock punches and dies in the turret; align the workpiece to scales and end gauges; clamp securely to the table.
Dial in the work: rotate the turret to the specified punch and die, adjust forward and lateral scales to the required dimensions, and position the center punch to scratch layout lines.
Run production: activate the punch via foot pedal and repeat operations for each setting according to charts and job documentation.
Translate drawings into action: read blueprints and operation sheets, compute punch charts from prints, and punch holes in nonmetallic materials as specified.
Verify quality: use calipers (dial and vernier), micrometers, squares, and height gauges; follow AQL and work instructions; report dimensional or set-up issues to your supervisor or set-up lead.
Own your numbers: maintain accurate counts of good and scrapped parts; complete production paperwork and input required data into the Traverse Manufacturing System.
Care for your tools and space: keep tools and gauges clean and orderly, report any equipment malfunctions immediately, and maintain a safe, tidy work area.
