Programming and Troubleshooting:
Some CNC operators may be responsible for programming the machines or modifying existing programs to ensure proper functionality. They also troubleshoot issues that may arise during the production process.
Quality Control:
Inspecting finished products and ensuring they meet the required specifications is a crucial part of the job. This includes performing quality checks before, during, and after production.
Maintenance and Safety:
Maintaining the CNC machines and ensuring a safe working environment is also a key responsibility. This includes performing routine maintenance, cleaning the machines, and adhering to all safety regulations.
Record Keeping:
CNC operators often keep detailed records of their work, including production numbers, quality control data, and any issues encountered during the process
