A day in the life

  • Review work orders and verify all setup details before machining.
  • Program or load programs and inspect the machine setup, using calipers to measure the width of the cup and the outer diameter (OD) of the stock.
  • Load the workpiece, align the longer side of the cup with a Machinist Square, and secure the setup.
  • Close the door and execute the run safely and efficiently.
  • Clean the part to remove any coolant and chips.
  • Measure the piece with dial calipers, confirming length and width of the cup match work order requirements.
  • Produce the first piece and obtain First Piece Inspection approval before continuing.
  • Rough mill the minor axis of tips and remove excess material around the cup per specifications.
  • Support the cell by moving between machines as workflow changes.
