TN Welder Robot Metal Prep
About The Position
This position uses robotic welding cells, MIG/TIG welding, and common metal working hand tools to completely sub-assemble (tack) and weld fuel tank related components from formed sheet metal parts, tubing, and fittings. This position encompasses responsibilities with robot welding machines and Metal Prep Weld. Generally not performed by the Robot Operator, but they need to know how to load and unload parts into the robot fixturing when the Robot Programmers can’t keep up with this task. Typically, fuel system parts are made of aluminum-coated steel metals, but may include P&O, stainless steel, and aluminum materials. The finished parts will be ready for final testing and washing in preparation for powder coating.
Requirements
- Uses materials that are predominately aluminum coated steel metals but may include P&O, stainless steel, and aluminum materials.
- Knowledge on how to restart robot welder after minor problems, such as a stuck wire, a safety barrier violation, etc. when the Robot Programmers can’t keep up with this task from time to time.
- Monitors robot welder for process problems, including, but not limited to, a lack of/incorrect gas, wire feed problems, and weld path issues.
- Communicates and cooperates with Robot Programmers to move weld path when indicated by welding robot results.
Responsibilities
- Manually welds steel fuel system parts utilizing MIG short circuit, TIG, and pulsed spray transfer mode welding processes.
- Reads and interprets mechanical drawings; performs first article quality control checks.
