Perform multi-position/contour machining of materials, parts, assemblies and tooling.
Read and interpret blueprints, drawings, specifications, MOR Books, sketches, engineering orders, work instructions, charts, graphs and other source documents to determine the methods and sequence of operations for the machining of parts and materials and tooling on a vertical turning center.
Perform mathematical calculations and layout center lines, reference points, machining guide lines and angular dimensions on materials, parts, assemblies and tooling for machining processes.
Apply a working knowledge of machining characteristics of various materials and metals to pre-set cutting tools on the machine. Adapt and/or improvise tooling where standard tooling is unavailable.
Set up and adjust machine controls to include speeds, feeds and depth of cut, and proper axis to meet configuration requirements. Perform off-line and in-process machine setups.
Operate multi-position machines and perform contouring, profiling, turning, back spot facing, boring, milling, drilling, slotting and tapping on materials, parts, assemblies and tooling.
Proof numerical control (NC) programs and first article work.
Use hand, power tools and precision measuring instruments to check work in progress and final product for conformance to dimensional, configuration and surface finish requirements and tolerances.
Collect on machine statistical process control (SPC) data relative to machining operations. Record data and statistics manually or with the aid of a computer or computer-based system.
United Technologies Corporation is An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
Extensive experience in 5-axis, tight tolerance and NCMD machining experience is required.
Experience in a numerical controlled (5)axis mill with a numerical control vertical turret lathe and slotting operations of an N/C machine is preferred.
