STOW Group•Adairsville, GA

3d•Onsite

About The Position

Beamline Welding Machine Operator sets up, programs, runs, and maintains automated welding robots, focusing on loading/unloading beams, reading blueprints, monitoring weld quality with gauges, performing basic maintenance, troubleshooting errors, and ensuring safety to produce consistent, high-quality beam components on the welding robotic cell, requiring basic MIG/TIG skills and strong attention to detail. Knowledge of the operation of machines Capable of running Welding robots: handling, positioning robots, modifying welding positioning with supervisor permission Knowledge of TCP Torch Control Utilize the spare parts for small interventions on robots, contact tip, gas nozzle, gas distributors Perform quality checks tape measure, bench and measuring station, automatic weld control camera and hook control camera Setup & operation: Load/unload parts, position workpieces using jigs/fixtures, and initiate the robotic welding process Programming: Input and adjust parameters (power, speed, pattern) for the robot controller based on engineering specs Quality control: Visually inspect welds, use measuring tools (gauges, calipers), and remove spatter to ensure parts meet specifications Maintenance: Perform routine upkeep like cleaning nozzles, changing wire/tips, lubricating, and reporting malfunctions Troubleshooting: Identify and resolve errors or system malfunctions during production runs Documentation: Complete production logs, downtime reports, and quality records Safety & housekeeping: Follow all safety protocols, maintain a clean work area, and wear required PPE
