What Is CNC Machining?
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. This technology converts designs produced by Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software into numerical data. These numbers act as coordinates on a graph, guiding the movement of a CNC machine’s cutter. Essentially, the computer controls the cutting and shaping of materials into parts, akin to 3D manufacturing.
What Does a CNC Operator Do?
In this job, you would be responsible for setting up and operating a Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine. These machines produce parts/components – mostly metallic parts, but also plastics or other materials – by removing or shaping material to produce a precise configuration.
As a CNC Machinist [Level 1], you would perform the following duties or tasks:
At the beginning of the production run, you would review the instructions for the product or part to be produced; typically, your supervisor will give you your work assignments – which CNC machine(s), which orders – at the beginning of each work day.
You would ensure the right computer program is in place, perhaps downloading it if it’s a new job; this program controls the machine’s functions and instructs the machine to perform the correct machining operations.
You would obtain the correct tools/tool holders that need to be inserted into your CNC machine to produce the items described in your work orders.
You would then position the material to be machined on the CNC machine; this may be a semi-finished part, a casting or a forging, a piece of raw material, or other material.
After starting the machining cycle, you monitor the operation of the CNC machine to ensure there are no problems during the operation
If there is an issue, you have to respond – once you have sufficient experience, you will know whether the program needs to be modified. Another option might be to change the tooling. Of course, you can consult with your supervisor. The point is you are responsible for correcting the issue.
When the item or part has been produced, you will be responsible for ensuring that it was produced to the requirements specified on the work order, part drawings, etc., and taking appropriate action per the specified quality assurance process.
What Does This Job Offer?
Competitive Pay: Starting wages range from $25-28 per hour. With two years of experience, CNC Operators can earn between $28 and $32 per hour and may be eligible for bonuses, depending on the employer.
Hours: Hours are 7:00am to 3:00pm, Monday to Friday
Career Growth: This role offers long-term employment and stability. As you gain experience and skills, you can advance to more technical positions such as CNC Machinist, which offers higher pay. Demonstrating non-technical skills can also lead to roles like quality specialist, lead hand, or supervisor.
In-Demand Skills: CNC Operators are in high demand, and the skills you acquire are unlikely to become obsolete as manufacturing processes evolve.
