HORISONTAL BORING MILLS (Albeton) at Swift Human R

*Purpose* Set up and operate a variety of machine to produce Valve parts. Includes precision machining in the fabrication, modify, or repair of any valves. May also fabricate and modify parts to make or repair valves as and when require. Also, require applying knowledge of mechanics, shop mathematics, metal properties, layout, and machining procedures. *Requirements:* * Grade 10+ * Or Trade tested * 3 years’ post apprentice experience *SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE* Working experience on different types of Boring Mills. *REQUIREMENTS:* * Calculate dimensions and tolerances using knowledge of mathematics and instruments such as micrometers and Vernier calipers. * Machine parts to specification. * Measure, examine, and test completed units to detect defects and ensure conformance to specifications, using precision instruments such as micrometers. * Set up, adjust, and operate all the basic machine tools and many specialized or advanced variation tools to perform precision machining operations. * Align and secure holding fixtures, cutting tools, attachments, accessories, and materials onto machines. * Monitor the feed and speed of machines during the machining process * Make use of drawings, and engineering information to determine methods and sequences of operations needed to fabricate products, and determine product dimensions and tolerances. * Select the appropriate tools, machines, and materials to be used in preparation of machinery work. * Lay out, measure, and mark metal items to machine work pieces. * Observe and listen to operating machines or equipment to diagnose machine malfunctions and to determine need for adjustments or repairs. * Check workpieces to ensure that they are properly lubricated and cooled. * Position and fasten workpieces. * Operate equipment to verify operational efficiency. * Clean and lubricate machines, tools, and equipment to remove grease, rust, stains, and foreign matter. * Confer with engineering, supervisory, and manufacturing personnel to exchange technical information. * Establish work procedures for the fabricating of new items needed to construct a valve. * Evaluate procedures, and recommend changes or modifications for improved efficiency and adaptability to setup and production. * Set up and prepare work pieces for brazing, heat-treating, and welding.
