Metal spinner job description

Express Employment has teamed up with an 87 year old family owned manufacturing company that has built the business on a reputation of quality and exceptional customer service with their metal spinning! This company forms metal by metal SPINNING, STAMPING, DEEP DRAWING, MACHINING, WELDING AND SHEARING!

You MUST have Metal Spinning experience to apply!

Basic Function and Scope of Responsibilities:

• Produces spun parts by programming, setting up, and operating play-back numerical control (PNC)/CNC lathes, manual lathes, and other type
  machines
• maintaining quality and safety standards;
• computerized record keeping;
• maintaining equipment and supplies.

Essential Functions:

• Confer with engineering, supervisory, and manufacturing personnel in order to exchange
  technical information. Design fixtures, tooling, and experimental parts to meet special
  engineering needs.
• Plans spinning process by studying work orders, blueprints, engineering plans, materials,
  specifications, orthographic drawings, reference planes, locations of surfaces, and machining
  parameters, interpreting geometric dimensions and tolerances (GD&T).
• Verifies settings by measuring positions, first-run part, and sample work pieces, adhering to blueprint or customer specifications.
• Observe and listen to operating machines or equipment in order to diagnose machine
  malfunctions and to determine need for adjustments or repairs.
• Measure, examine, and test completed units in order to detect defects and ensure conformance to specifications, using precision instruments such as micrometers.
• Clean and lubricate machines, tools, and equipment in order to remove grease, rust, stains, and
  foreign matter.
• Documents actions by completing production and quality logs.
• Maintains equipment by completing preventive maintenance requirements; following manufacturer's instructions, troubleshooting malfunctions and calling for repairs.
• Maintains safe operations by adhering to safety procedures and regulations.
• Perform other job-related duties as assigned

Manual Spinning duties:

• Manual Spinning - Sets up and operates spinning lathe to spin shaped articles from sheet or
  plate metal, using blueprints and knowledge of physical properties of metal: Bolts specified spin
  chuck to headstock spindle and follower block to tailstock, using hand tools or power tools.
• Manual Spinning - Clamps metal disk to chuck by turning hand wheel that forces follow block
  against disk.
• Manual Spinning - Secures steady rest fixture on cross-slide.
• Manual Spinning - Starts machine and coats outside of rotating disk with spinning compound.
• Manual Spinning - Positions, holds, and moves long-handled compound lever tool against disk, using steady rest as fulcrum point, to apply required pressure to form disk over and into shape of spinning chuck.
• Manual Spinning - Varies amount and location of pressure on disk according to type of metal,
  shape of spinning chuck, speed of lathe, and temperature and thickness of metal disk.
• Manual Spinning - Replaces steady rest with bar tool attachment, turns hand wheel to set bar
  tool and cut off excess metal from work piece.
• Manual Spinning - May form wood spinning chucks by turning on lathe.

PNC/CNC Spinning duties:

• PNC/CNC Spinning - Sets up and operates CNC spinning lathe to spin shaped articles from sheet or plate metal, using blueprints and knowledge of physical properties of metal: Bolts specified spin chuck to headstock spindle and follower block to tailstock, using hand tools or
  power tools.
• PNC/CNC Spinning - Programs lathes by entering instructions, including zero and reference points; setting tool registers, offsets, compensation, and conditional switches; calculating requirements, including basic math, geometry, and trigonometry; proving part programs.
• PNC/CNC Spinning - Verifies settings by measuring positions, first-run part, and sample work pieces

Education Requirements:

• High School Diploma or GED.
• Vocational School or equivalent experience (2 to 3 years).

Training, Skills, Knowledge and/or Experience: List specific examples, denoting (R) if
required or (P) if preferred:

• PNC/CNC Programming.
