Turret lathe operator vs numerical control operator

Differences between turret lathe operator and numerical control operator duties and responsibilities

Turret lathe operator example responsibilities.

• Use automate systems and RF units to pull, put away and load customer product, in addition to managing inventory
• Maintain SPC and record data to assure the part is within control limits; maintain accurate downtime and production records.
• Use of CMM equipment to measure parts with a high degree of accuracy and make offsets to cutting machinery if necessary.
• Involve in maintaining continuous improvement in documentation and procedures for ISO certification.
• Fulfill production responsibilities to customer while maintaining superior quality using physical gauges and CMM machines.
