Straightener SSBO

MISSION:

To straighten metal castings to meet dimensional tolerances and customer specifications. Straightens both large and small parts.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES:

Straightening

Objective: to mechanically correct non-conforming dimensions that require checking per specifications.

Typical Activities:

• Measures and inspects castings to verify appropriate tolerances and identify discrepant tolerances; checks tech cards and CMM dimensional reports; may pre-straighten casting prior to dimensional check.
• Determines the most effective method of making straightening repairs to castings.
• Straightens castings using manual tools profile templates and power presses; preheats castings before placing in press; rounds parts with power or manual tools.
• Straightens castings using the hot straightening process; fixtures parts for heat treat (TBO only).
• Creates custom press blocks and tools as needed.
• Works closely with Dimensional Inspectors and Engineering personnel to resolve dimensional problems.

Casting Acceptance.

Objective: to determine dimensional acceptability to tolerances.

Typical Activities:

• Performs in-process dimensional checks.
• Performs final dimensional checks using inspection fixtures templates gauges micrometers calipers and other measuring devices.
• Visually inspects castings for discontinuity.
• Completes logs process router forms and records.

Safety.

Objective: to take responsibility for and demonstrate safe work practices.

Typical Activities:

• Adheres to plant and department safety rules.
• Safely operates all equipment and tools.
• Identifies and reports safety problems.
• Performs other tasks as directed.

TRAINING:

• Training is provided on the job.
• Completion of PCCs Forklift Driving Safety Certification Training may be required.

ENTRY QUALIFICATIONS:

• Casting straightening skills or closely related metal straightening/fabricating skills is preferred.

OR

• An equivalent amount of classroom training and work experience.

• Ability to read interpret and follow specifications on Tech Cards blueprints and drawings.

• Ability to read dimensional tools.

• Ability to work independently and solve problems.

• Ability to lift and/or maneuver objects weighing up to 35 pounds.

• Ability to work in difficult working conditions which may include exposure to noise dust chemicals temperature extremes and other elements for extended periods of time.

MAJOR PLANT DIFFERENCES:

• SSBO - requires Straightener to obtain Dimensional Inspection Certification after 6 months on the job.
