Straightener SSBO
About The Position
MISSION: To straighten metal castings to meet dimensional tolerances and customer specifications. Straightens both large and small parts. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES: Straightening Objective: to mechanically correct non-conforming dimensions that require checking per specifications. Typical Activities: Measures and inspects castings to verify appropriate tolerances and identify discrepant tolerances; checks tech cards and CMM dimensional reports; may pre-straighten casting prior to dimensional check. Determines the most effective method of making straightening repairs to castings. Straightens castings using manual tools, profile templates and power presses; preheats castings before placing in press; rounds parts with power or manual tools. Straightens castings using the hot straightening process; fixtures parts for heat treat (TBO only). Creates custom press blocks and tools as needed. Works closely with Dimensional Inspectors and Engineering personnel to resolve dimensional problems. Casting Acceptance. Objective: to determine dimensional acceptability to tolerances. Typical Activities: Performs in-process dimensional checks. Performs final dimensional checks using inspection fixtures, templates, gauges, micrometers, calipers and other measuring devices. Visually inspects castings for discontinuity. Completes logs, process router forms, and records. Safety. Objective: to take responsibility for and demonstrate safe work practices.
