Precision Machine Operator - Off-shift

Coherent•Saxonburg, PA

2d•Onsite

About The Position

Plano and cylinder mirrors and lens components are machined to the size requirements of drawings, engineering specifications and/or Coherent standard specifications on a diamond flycut machine. All parts must be handled in a proper manner to prevent damage. Measurement of critical dimensions of the part prior to processing is required to determine if the part will be within the blank specifications. The operator is responsible for controlling and verifying part thickness and figure, with parts routinely measured to guarantee that all parts produced meet specifications. Understanding and utilizing the correct machine setup, including tool set-up for various materials according to established procedures, is essential. The flywheel is accurately balanced and head tilt adjustments are made. Process notes are maintained to record key manufacturing parameters and issues, and work instructions are followed. Work order report sheets are utilized to note process variation, and first-time yield is accurately documented. The operator must be able to work independently to solve minor problems on a diamond flycutter, reporting the nature and solution of problems to the supervisor or shift lead when appropriate. Production activities are wanded accurately. Quality documentation is completed as required, and machine maintenance and incident reports are completed when necessary. Operators are required to develop a good understanding of the QA procedures associated with testing of flycut diamond-turned components. Opportunities exist to multitask and run multiple machines to ensure maximum production output without making errors. Errors and accidents must be reported immediately to the shift lead, maintenance supervisor, or engineers. Root cause analysis and corrective actions are fully supported. Operators are required to verify all setups to ensure the machine will not crash. All Coherent and departmental safety practices and procedures are followed at all times. All areas are maintained in an organized manner, and equipment is maintained based on preventative schedules. Maintenance requirements and machine or utility anomalies are reported promptly to the supervisor.
