Overview

Operates GIBBS computer programming to generate CNC programs used to control CNC machine tools that drill, mill, bore, etc.

Responsibilities

• Analyzes drawings and specifications to determine program input data such as hole sizes, tool sizes, reference points, direction of machine cutting paths.
• Calculates data such as starting point coordinates, size of fixture panels and number of fixtures per fixture panel.
• Using 3D models extracts part geometry to create tool paths as well as tool speeds and feeds using GIBBS CAM and manually programs on the machine.
• Keys in additional instructions such as tool size, machine feed and speed rates, starting point coordinates.
• Names the program using part number when possible.
• Sets up machines, cuts fixtures when necessary and produces the first part to verify program performance and correct dimensions.
• Submits the first article to Quality Contr...
