Predictive & Preventive Maintenance (PM)Vibe & Thermal Analysis: Performing condition
monitoring to catch wear early (e.g., in flywheels, gearboxes, and bearings).
Autonomous Maintenance:



Planning and executing scheduled PMs, tracking Mean Time
Between Failures (MTBF).
Lubrication Management: Ensuring automatic lubrication systems are functioning for slides,
gibs, and crankshafts to prevent friction and seizing.
Machine Gib Alignment & Calibration Clearance Adjustments: Setting exact clearances on
press slides and gibs to ensure accurate vertical travel and extend die life.
Leveling and Alignment: Using dial indicators and precision levels to check the parallelism of
the bed and slide.
Core Engineering Skills Technical Drawings: Reading and interpreting complex mechanical
blueprints and assembly drawings. Spare Parts Management: Anticipating wear and tear,
managing parts inventory, and sourcing replacements.
Safety Protocols: Ensuring OSHA (or equivalent) safety standards for press controls, light
curtains, and emergency stops are met
