Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Essential duties and responsibilities include the following. Other duties may be assigned.

Safety

Wears required personal protective equipment, keeps hands clear of the point of operation, and verifies that light curtains and other machine guarding are functioning before operating the press brake.
Follows lockout/tagout procedures when changing tooling, clearing jams, or performing maintenance, and reports unsafe conditions, near misses, and equipment hazards to the supervisor immediately.

Blueprint and Work Order Interpretation

Interprets drawings, program sheets, and work orders to determine work to be done, bend sequences, bend angles, flange dimensions, and dimensions of the finished work piece.
Discusses forming and flat-pattern problems with the Fabrication Programmer to improve part fit and quality.

Machine Setup

Retrieves preprogrammed machine instructions from the CNC control or network database and verifies the correct program and revision for the job.
Selects, positions, installs, and aligns punches, dies, and backgauge fingers in the machine or machine tool holders.
Loads material and/or parts manually or with a crane onto the machine, and aligns, positions, and secures material according to setup instructions.
Manipulates controls and enters commands to index the machine to the specified set point and start the machine.

Machine Operation and Monitoring

Performs a variety of forming and bending operations to close and interrelated tolerances.
Depresses the foot pedal or operates hand controls to activate the ram that forms the metal.
Observes and listens to machine operation to detect malfunctions, such as worn or damaged punches and dies.
Changes punches and dies as specified in setup instructions or when wear or damage is detected.
Uses override controls to correct conditions that are out of tolerance or operating unusually.
Adjusts ram depth, backgauge positions, and tooling to produce parts to specification when automatic programming is faulty, material varies, or the machine malfunctions.

Quality and Inspection

Performs first-piece and in-process inspections to ensure adherence to quality standards and specifications.
Measures work pieces, including bend angles and flange lengths, for conformance to specifications.
Removes slag and burrs from the edges of work pieces as needed before forming.
Notifies the supervisor of discrepancies and segregates nonconforming parts.

Maintenance and Housekeeping

Cleans the machine, tooling, and work area, and returns punches and dies to proper storage.
Performs routine machine maintenance and reports equipment issues that require repair.
