- Operate CNC / NC Press Brake machines for sheet metal bending as per production requirements.

- Read and interpret engineering drawings, bending drawings, and work instructions.

- Verify material grade, sheet thickness, dimensions, and job specifications before bending.

- Select and install the appropriate punches, dies, and tooling for the required bending operation.

- Set machine parameters, including bending angle, back gauge position, stroke, and pressure.

- Select and verify CNC bending programs as per the approved drawings.

- Perform trial bending and verify the bending angle and dimensions before starting batch production.

- Ensure dimensional accuracy and consistency of all bent components.

- Inspect components for cracks, scratches, deformation, incorrect angles, and other defects.

- Use measuring instruments such as vernier calipers, angle gauges, and measuring tapes.

- Achieve daily production targets while maintaining quality standards.

- Minimize material wastage, rejection, rework, and machine idle time.





- Handle sheet metal safely during loading, bending, and unloading operations.

- Perform routine machine cleaning and operator-level preventive maintenance.

- Check machine condition, tooling condition, and back gauge alignment before operation.

- Report machine breakdowns, tooling damage, and operational abnormalities to the supervisor.

- Follow machine safety procedures and use the required personal protective equipment (PPE).

- Maintain 5S, housekeeping, and proper storage of punches, dies, and tools.

- Maintain production records, rejection details, and machine downtime reports.

- Ensure proper identification and transfer of bent components to the next production process.

- Coordinate with laser cutting, fabrication, quality, and production teams.

- Follow company SOPs, quality standards, and production schedules.
