Key Responsibilities1. Programming & SimulationCode Generation: Writing and editing G-codes and M-codes manually or using CAM software (like Mastercam, Delcam, or NX-CAM).Technical Interpretation: Reading and interpreting 2D engineering drawings and 3D models.Optimization: Fine-tuning feed rates, spindle speeds, and tool paths to reduce cycle time and improve surface finish.Simulation: Running digital simulations to prevent crashes or tool collisions before the actual run.2. Machine Setup & OperationWorkholding: Setting up jigs, fixtures, and vices to secure raw materials (workpieces).Tooling: Selecting and mounting the correct cutting tools into the Automatic Tool Changer (ATC).Offsets: Setting work offsets (G54-G59) and tool length/diameter offsets.Production: Operating the machine for small batches or mass production, ensuring the process remains stable.3. Quality & MaintenanceInspection: Using precision instruments like Micrometers, Vernier Calipers, and Bore Gauges to check finished parts.Problem Solving: Troubleshooting program errors or machine alarms during the shift.Machine Care: Performing daily maintenance like coolant checks, lubrication, and chip removal.
