Select approved CNC programs and adjust permitted parameters withinauthorized limits.4. Set back gauges, position and align sheets correctly, and perform initial setupchecks and first-piece trials before batch production.5. Monitor machine performance, identify abnormal operation or tooling issues, andreport faults promptly.6.

Handle and stack completed components carefully to prevent scratches, dents,deformation, and other damage.B.

Drawing

Interpretation and Job Preparation1. Read and interpret engineering and fabrication drawings, bending layouts,dimensions, tolerances, and work instructions.2. Identify material grade, thickness, bend angles, bend locations, flangedimensions, and other critical features.3.

Verify material identification, tooling, and CNC program availability before startingproduction.4. Apply basic knowledge of bend allowance, bend deduction, bend radius,springback, and bending sequence.5. Clarify drawing discrepancies, missing dimensions, or program errors with thesupervisor or programming team before proceeding.C.

Quality

Control and Inspection1. Inspect the first component after setup and obtain approval where requiredbefore proceeding with batch production.2. Check bend angles, flange lengths, overall dimensions, squareness, andspecified tolerances using suitable measuring instruments.3.

Monitor production quality and identify defects such as incorrect bend angles,dimensional deviations, scratches, cracks, deformation, and inconsistent bends.4.



Segregate non-conforming components, report defects, make authorizedcorrections, and repeat inspections as required.5. Maintain production, inspection, rejection, and machine-stoppage recordsaccording to KMW procedures.D.

Production and Machine Maintenance1. Complete assigned jobs within production schedules while minimizing setup time,machine downtime, material wastage, and rework.2. Coordinate with cutting, fabrication, fitting, welding, and assembly teams toensure smooth production flow and component traceability.3.

Report material shortages, tooling requirements, machine breakdowns, andproduction bottlenecks.4. Perform routine cleaning and operator-level maintenance as authorized; maintainmachine logs and report maintenance requirements.5. Store tooling properly and maintain an organized machine and work area.E.

Safety and Housekeeping1. Follow KMW safety procedures and machine-specific operating instructions; useprescribed PPE, including safety footwear and eye protection as appropriate.2. Keep hands and other body parts clear of punches, dies, pinch points, andhazardous moving components.3.

Handle large, heavy, or awkward sheets using approved methods and assistanceor handling equipment where required.4. Check machine guards, safety interlocks, emergency stops, and other protectivedevices according to prescribed checklists.5. Stop operation and report abnormal noises, hydraulic issues, control errors,tooling damage, or safety-device faults.6.

Follow approved lockout and isolation procedures before maintenance oraccessing hazardous areas. Never bypass guards, interlocks, or safetyprocedures.7. Keep the machine area, tooling racks, worktables, and walkways clean andorganized.3.

Qualifications and Experience1. ITI in Fitter, Turner, Machinist, Sheet Metal, Mechanical, or a related trade ispreferred. A Diploma in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent technical trainingis an advantage.2.





Preferably 2–5 years of hands-on CNC press brake operation experience inmetal fabrication or manufacturing.3. Familiarity with CNC controls, programming interfaces, machine setup, toolingselection, and authorized parameter adjustments.4. Ability to interpret engineering drawings, dimensions, bending layouts, andtolerances.5.

Practical understanding of sheet metal bending, bend sequence, springback,tooling, and material behaviour.6.

Experience bending mild steel is preferred; stainless steel and aluminiumexperience is an advantage.7. Ability to use measuring instruments, perform dimensional inspections, andfollow work and safety instructions in a language understood by the candidate.4.

Required Skills and Personal Attributes1. Practical proficiency in CNC press brake operation and setup.2. Strong drawing interpretation, measurement, and dimensional accuracy skills.3. Ability to identify routine bending defects and correct them within authorizedlimits.4.

Responsible handling of machine tooling, materials, and finished components.5. Awareness of machine guarding, pinch points, and protected sheet handling.6. Discipline, punctuality, accountability, and ability to work independently whilecoordinating with the production team.5.

Wage and Employment TermsThe final wage will be determined by KMW based on practical assessment, machineexperience, drawing interpretation, setup capability, accuracy, and job complexity.Payment will be based on recorded attendance and the agreed wage cycle. Workinghours, overtime, weekly rest, leave, and applicable statutory benefits will be governedby company policy and applicable Indian labour laws.6.

Selection

Process1. Screening of relevant CNC press brake operating experience.2. Practical assessment of machine setup, tooling selection, sheet positioning, andbending, where feasible.3. Assessment of drawing interpretation, dimensional measurement, and first-pieceinspection.4. Evaluation of defect identification, basic troubleshooting, and machine safetyawareness.5. Final selection by the authorized KMW representative.7.

Performance

ExpectationsThe selected candidate must produce components within specified tolerances, maintainconsistent bending quality, minimize material wastage and rework, follow machinesafety procedures, maintain required records, and complete assigned jobs withinproduction timelines.
