Key Responsibilities
1. Bench Work & Fitting
Shaping & Sizing: Performing manual operations like filing, sawing, chipping, and scraping to bring metal parts to exact dimensions.
Marking: Using tools like scriber, vernier height gauges, and angle plates to mark guide lines for drilling and cutting according to blueprints.
Accuracy: Achieving high precision, often with a tolerance of � mm to � mm.
2. Assembly & Installation
Mechanical Assembly: Fitting together components like gears, pulleys, shafts, and valves using fasteners (rivets, bolts, and screws).
Interchangeability: Ensuring parts can be replaced or interchanged across different units without individual custom fitting.
Pneumatics & Hydraulics: Identifying and assembling components like compressors, valves, and actuators to build fluid power circuits.
3. Maintenance & Repair
Preventive Maintenance: Regularly lubricating, cleaning, and overhauling machines (Lathes, Drill Presses, Grinders) to prevent breakdowns.
Troubleshooting: Identifying the root cause of mechanical failure, dismantling the unit, and replacing worn-out or defective parts.
Testing: Conducting performance tests on completed assemblies to ensure they meet operational standards.
