Job Description

Job Summary:
We are looking for a skilled Laser and CNC Press Brake Programmer to join our team in the metal manufacturing industry. The ideal candidate will be responsible for programming setting up and operating both laser cutting machines and CNC press brakes to produce highprecision metal parts. The role requires a strong understanding of both laser cutting and press brake operations along with expertise in CAD/CAM software to ensure the highest quality and efficiency in production.

Key Responsibilities:
Laser Cutting Programming:
  • Program Development: Develop and optimize programs for laser cutting machines using CAD/CAM software (e.g. AutoCAD SolidWorks or proprietary software).
  • Machine Setup: Set up laser cutting machines for various metal types and thicknesses ensuring correct parameters are applied.
  • Quality Control: Perform test cuts and adjustments to ensure that parts meet the required specifications maintaining high precision.
  • Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve issues related to laser cutting including material loading machine parameters and program .
CNC Press Brake Programming:
  • Program Development: Create CNC programs for press brakes using CAD/CAM software ensuring that the bending process is efficient and accurate.
  • Tool Selection & Setup: Select appropriate tooling for press brake operations and configure the machine to the correct settings based on material and part requirements.
  • Bend Sequence Optimization: Optimize bending sequences to minimize material waste and maximize production efficiency.
  • Inspection & Adjustment: Ensure that parts are bent within tolerance and adjust programs or machine settings to meet precise requirements.
Collaboration & Communication:
  • Teamwork: Collaborate with engineering production and quality control teams to address production challenges and improve workflow.
  • Documentation: Maintain accurate records of machine setups tool changes and adjustments made to ensure compliance with design specifications and quality standards.
