Job Summary

Centerless Grinder

Pay: $26-$35/hr

Shift: 1st - 6:00am - 2:30pm

Position Summary:
The Centerless Grinder sets up and operates one or more centerless grinding machines to grind external or internal cylindrical or tapered surfaces of metal work pieces to blueprint specifications following tooling instructions and standard charts and applying knowledge of grinding procedures. Reads blueprint and job order for product specifications such as dimensions tolerances and number of parts to be ground and tooling instructions such as grinding speeds feed rates holding fixtures and grinding wheels to be used.

Primary Duties & Responsibilities:

Set up centerless grinding machine to produce parts according to setting up sheets and router requirements.
Reference speeds and feed charts and calculate the appropriate settings to maximize equipment capability.
Analyze best grinding method given work material. Mounts grinding wheel and regulating wheel on spindles with wrenches.
Moves control to set specified grinding speeds feed rates and spacing between wheel faces.
Positions and secures work rest at specified height using wrenches.
Lift and positions workpiece manually or with hoist and secures it between wheels and on work rest.
Starts machines and observes operation. Verifies dimensions of groundwork-piece for conformance to specifications using measuring instruments such as micrometers calipers and preset gauges.
Changes worn grinding wheels using wrenches. May set up automatic work feeding device.
Perform advanced machine maintenance and troubleshoot problems.

Required Skills and Experience:

Minimum five-year experience in the operation of centerless grinding machines.
Ability to read blueprints inspect parts and obtain reference information from detail prints.
Set guide rail adjust wheel to size and set stop length.
Inspect first article and maintain quality during production of lot.
Monitor machine for proper operation lubrication and coolant level.
Check condition of grinding wheels.
Train less experienced operators.
Maintain a clean and safe work area.
Must be capable of working effectively with minimal direction and supervision.
Attention to detail and an attitude of 100% compliance with all company and regulatory requirements.
High energy level and ability to work flexible hours.
Ability to work in a team-oriented environment.
Mathematical Skill Must have basic Mathematical skills such as Add subtract multiply and divide whole numbers fractions and decimals. Measure lengths and distances and calculate areas volumes and weights. Able to compute rate ratio and percentage.
Blueprint Reading & Interpretation Demonstrate the ability to reliably read and interpret the following: drawing terms; call outs; symbols and/or descriptions; types of lines; front view; side view; top view; section view; types of radii; tolerances (min. and max.); external/internal thread; surface finish; fastener-related specifications.
Basic Visual & Dimensional Inspection Demonstrate the ability to inspect parts reliably using the following tools: caliper (dial and digital); micrometer (stand blade and disk); dial drop indicator; test indicator; comparator; pin gage; gage block set; any functional gages applicable to the operator. Must have the ability to use hand tools and measuring instruments
Workmanship Demonstrate the ability to identify and take appropriate action to prevent correct or reject the following conditions on die and tools parts: cracks; nicks scratches and dents.
