Headquartered in Irvine, CA, Shur-Lok manufactures fastening systems with superior locking devices for critical requirements, including engine module assembly, structural assembly, rotor blade attachment, and aircraft engine shaft and spindle applications. Operations at the Irvine location include CNC Machining, CNC Waterjet Cutting, Laser Marking, Heat Treating, NDT, and EDM. Screw machine operators perform various tasks with one or more multiple-spindle, automatic lathe-type screw machines. These machines produce custom parts from stock metal or other materials. Screw machine operators ensure the machine is correctly set up to perform the various operations needed to produce these parts. Operators read blueprints and determine exactly what screw machine settings are needed to create an actual working part from the plans. The operator chooses cutting speeds, the depth of cuts, how fast the machine should run, and which cutting tools should be used for each operation. Operators base their decisions on experience, knowledge about the materials used, and basic mathematic principles. Operators install and adjust cams, and gears, stop the screw machine, and verify the cutting tools’ positioning using gauges or other instruments. Operators are responsible for turning the machine on and off according to safety protocols. During an operation, operators carefully monitor the screw machine, making changes to speed, feed rates, or tool position to ensure accurate reproduction of the plans. After a sample part has been produced, screw machine operators verify that the part meets the specifications of the blueprints by using various tools, such as calipers and micrometers. Operators are responsible for labeling finished products and keeping track of materials used during production; they may be required to submit records regarding productivity and operation quality. In addition, screw machine operators perform regular maintenance or repair on the screw machine, such as replacing worn parts or using other machines to sharpen tools. Some jobs require screw machine operators to have experience with a particular brand of screw machine. An operator's job performance is evaluated according to their mastery of various tools, the complexity of a particular job, and the quality of the final product. Screw machine operators require mathematic and mechanical abilities and the ability to read blueprints.
