Machining has undergone a dramatic shift in the last few decades. Gone are the days of dirty manual machines that do one job. Now, modern day machinists work with state-of-the-art CNC machines. Due to their speed, precision, and flexibility these powerful machines have become the industry standard in manufacturing.
And with changing technology comes changing job descriptions. Today, computerized numerical control (CNC) machinists combine elements of mechanical design, technical drawings, mathematics, and computer programming know-how in a clean, professional environment. But what does a day of a CNC machine operator job look like?
With proper CNC machining training, machinists produce an enormous array of manufactured goods and work with all manners of materials, including the plastics and metals common to manufacturing industry. Skilled CNC machinists track a product through each phase of its creation, from an initial concept to a fully realized item.
A CNC machine operator can transform a block of formless steel into a working part for one of the most advanced aerospace industries in the nation. Typical job duties for CNC machinists include:
1.Studying blueprints, sketches, drawings, specifications, and sample parts to determine dimensions and tolerances of finished products.
2.Determining the sequence of machining operations, and setup requirements of a job.
3.Calculating, measuring, and marking the dimensions and reference points on material as guides for the machining.
4.Setting the controls and programs to regulate CNC machines.
5.Use the machines to create a finished piece, while monitoring it for malfunctions and out-of-tolerance machining and then adjusting the program as required.
6.Perform routine maintenance on the machines under their control.
7.Confer with engineers, programmers, and supervisors to maintain the assembly and production of the finished items.
