The adjuster of technological equipment of modern metal-cutting machines is a highly qualified specialist. The demand for such positions is constantly growing in connection with the development of production technology. The wishes of employers have changed in recent years, the legislative part in the industry lags behind the requirements of the real situation.
General requirements for professional knowledge
The installer of CNC machines is required to have extensive knowledge to work effectively in production. The universality of the profession lies in the ability to find competent solutions and take responsibility for the initial repair before the arrival of the relevant services.
From the installer is required:
- competent selection of a cutting tool;
- compliance with cutting conditions;
- programming of technological programs as well as user data;
- to conduct competent and quick troubleshooting of mechanical, electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic parts of equipment;
- have a full body of knowledge in the field of metal science: steel grades, manufacturing methods, processing modes;
- be able to read diagrams freely: electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic.
Education and other criteria
With all the requirements, the position of the installer belongs to the category of workers. The place is intended for persons over 18 years of age with secondary specialized education in the field of industrial equipment. To perform their duties, an assigned category of medical examination with the column "Goden" is required.
For admission to the workplace, training is conducted or the applicant is provided with a ready-made certification for electrical safety. In Western companies, adjusters are trained to work with electrical equipment up to 1000 V.
The specialty "Adjuster of CNC machines" provides qualifications in the field of IT:
- programming experience in C ++;
- database creation;
- knowledge of graphic editors;
- knowledge of SCADA-systems for working with graphical interfaces;
- fluency in PC operating systems.
With the existing certification of electrical safety, in any case, you will have to undergo retraining for the specifics of the enterprise. To do this, training courses are held in the organization of employment.
What regulatory documents do you need to know?
The basis of safe work is the timely informing of workers about the rules of conduct with electrical installations. To systematize approaches to emergency situations, they are guided by the intersectoral labor protection rules in existing electrical installations and standards for their operation.
The basic course includes training:
- Fire safety.
- Rules for first aid to victims.
- Instructions for use of protective equipment.
- Ways to free a person if he comes under stress.
- When using crane equipment, all employees should familiarize themselves with the principles of cargo slinging and the operation of mechanisms.
- A lecture is held directly at the enterprise, including the working hours and daily routines.
- To carry out work in the order of current operation, production instructions are given .
Additional requirements
Instructions for the process equipment adjuster include the obligation of each employee on CNC machines to understand the principle of operation of multi-coordinate systems of a particular manufacturer. The level of communication with the electronic parts of the PC should be above average. Technological programs are formed directly by the employee.
He is responsible for all the temporal characteristics of cutting conditions, the choice of the landing dimensions of tools, the task of the movement of all axes, the observance of the program processing cycle. Responsibilities include all the necessary steps for re-adjusting the production line for new product sizes.
At the beginning of the shift, the employee must conduct an inspection of the received machine and the line for serviceability of all parts. Check the levels of fluid to be filled: oil, coolant, and electrical systems. Periodically check fixed equipment during long production downtimes. Guided by technological maps, follow the step-by-step instructions for changing the machine. The duties of the employee include interaction with services that carry out commissioning on the site.
Electrical Experience
The installer of the technological equipment should have the knowledge of workers from parallel services engaged in the maintenance of production. Direct participation in user work lies with the operator, and the installer performs the function of the main regulator for the performance of all parts of the machine.
It is necessary to carry out diagnostics of the serviceability of measuring systems, which are replaced by the instrumentation and automation fitter. Participate in the determination of automation failures in conjunction with electrical services specialists. In case of a floating fault, cyclic testing of mechanisms and lines is carried out, which is implemented by the installer of the technological equipment through the use of a software interface.
Diagnostics is carried out according to the error catalog included with the CNC machine. Instrumentation and control fitter cannot carry out all work alone, therefore, the installer provides all possible assistance: checking the indication of measuring systems, level control on the monitor screen, temperature conditions are set in the masks of the machine software interface.
It is also necessary to participate in the replacement of the mechanical parts of the machine, as well as unscheduled maintenance after repair and commissioning.
Current work activities
Under the direct supervision of the installer are:
- integrity and operation of all sensors: inductive, level gauges, thermocouples, high-speed meters;
- methods of primary diagnostics of the health of engines, pumps, transmission systems, hydraulic cylinders;
- diagnostic methods for backlash on axial screw pairs using a micrometer;
- the use of measuring tools to determine technological gaps, roughnesses of the treated surface;
- timely report to the higher authorities about unscheduled repair of the machine, providing information about the cause of the malfunction and the culprit of the incident;
- the introduction of new processing programs during the debugging period, the introduction of corrections to achieve the specified product sizes.
In addition to the listed functions, the duties of the process equipment adjuster include initial instruction to new employees at the workplace, maintaining documentation containing all stages of the work shift, periodic inspections of equipment and scheduled repairs. Also, journals are kept for the accounting of finished products, marriage and accepted blanks.
What can an employee do on his own initiative?
The adjuster of the technological equipment, as well as each employee of the enterprise, can make suggestions regarding the improvement of the overall production:
- machine construct and lines;
- methods and modes of processing parts;
- optimizing the working time of shift personnel if, based on the results of activities, unplanned downtime is reduced
- make urgent requirements to eliminate fire safety violations or threats to workers;
- at the risk of material damage to the enterprise, report to management;
- stop the workflow if there are deviations in the quality of the finished product.
