EDM WirecutMachine Operator IMPACT HR AND KM SOLUTIONS

About IMPACT HR AND KM SOLUTIONS

Job Description

• Machine Setup and Preparation:

  • Set up Wire EDM machines (e.g., Sodick, Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Charmilles, or equivalent) according to specific job requirements.

  • Install the wire electrode, prepare the workpiece, and ensure proper clamping and alignment on the machine table.

  • Set up the dielectric fluid system, checking for leaks and ensuring proper levels and purity.

  • Select and prepare appropriate tooling, fixtures, and accessories for each job.

• Programming and Operation:

  • Interpret and analyze technical drawings, blueprints, and CAD/CAM files to determine machining parameters, cutting paths, and operational sequences.

  • Program the Wire EDM machine (CNC programming) using relevant software (e.g., AutoCAD, Mastercam, Esprit, or machine-specific software) and G-code.

  • Enter all necessary parameters into the machine control unit, including cutting speed, feed rate, wire tension, and flush conditions.

  • Conduct dry runs and simulations to validate machine programs before actual production runs to prevent errors and optimize results.

  • Monitor the machining process closely, making real-time adjustments to optimize accuracy, efficiency, and surface finish.

• Quality Control and Inspection:

  • Perform in-process and final inspections of machined parts using precision measuring tools such as micrometers, calipers, height gauges, and optical comparators.

  • Verify dimensions, tolerances (often requiring precision up to microns), and surface finish of finished components against specifications.

  • Identify and report any deviations, defects, or non-conformities and initiate corrective actions.

  • Track and minimize scrap material, initiating corrective actions to reduce waste.

• Maintenance and Troubleshooting:

  • Perform routine preventive maintenance on EDM machines, including cleaning the machine, changing worn wires, maintaining dielectric fluid levels, and inspecting components.

  • Troubleshoot and diagnose machine malfunctions, programming errors, or operational issues, and perform minor repairs to minimize downtime.

  • Report major mechanical or electrical issues to the maintenance team promptly.

• Safety and Housekeeping:

  • Adhere strictly to all safety protocols, company procedures, and industry regulations (e.g., use of Personal Protective Equipment - PPE, safe handling of chemicals and equipment).

  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment around the machine.

  • Ensure proper storage and handling of EDM wire and other consumables.

• Documentation and Reporting:

  • Maintain accurate records of production outcomes, machine performance metrics, material consumption, and maintenance activities.

     

     

  • Document and report any equipment issues, quality concerns, or production delays to the supervisor.
