To create accurate and optimized CNC laser cutting programs from engineering drawings, ensuring effective material utilization, quality output, and timely production while coordinating with planning, design, and production teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Interpret engineering drawings, CAD files (DXF/DWG), and customer specifications.
- Prepare CNC programs for laser cutting machines using nesting software.
- Optimize nesting to maximize material utilization and minimize scrap.
- Select appropriate cutting parameters based on material type and thickness.
- Generate NC code compatible with laser cutting machines.
- Verify programs through simulation before releasing them to production.
- Coordinate with production planning to prioritize jobs according to delivery schedules.
- Maintain program revisions and document control.
- Ensure proper identification and traceability of programs.
- Provide technical support to laser machine operators during production.
- Troubleshoot programming issues and modify programs when required.
- Monitor material consumption and recommend improvements in nesting efficiency.
- Coordinate with Design, Quality, and Production departments to resolve manufacturing issues.
- Ensure compliance with quality standards and customer specifications.
- Follow safety procedures and maintain a clean working environment (5S).
