CNC machinists at Ariel are responsible for producing high-precision parts that we use to manufacture the world's best compressors. Our production floor includes a variety of lathes, mills, and grinders to machine cast iron and other various metals. Our machinists do everything from the initial set-up to choosing the tooling and correct programs. Quality checks are performed on every part using precision measuring equipment to ensure the integrity of our product. Production schedules work off of a dispatch list using SAP. At Ariel, there are many opportunities within the Machine Shop. Most machinists work individually on an assigned machine; however, some work centers are team oriented. The type of work center you are assigned to depends on the size and type of part you are machining. You may turn, mill, or grind parts as small as a valve cap, or as large as the frames our compressors are built around.
