What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tool Maker position at Eurotranciatura USA LLC?
Description
A toolmaker is responsible for making precision tools (such as jigs, molds, and dies), special guides, and holding devices, which are used in manufacturing to make products. A toolmaker’s job doesn’t stop once they have produced the tools. They will monitor these tools to identify and implement any necessary modifications or repairs. A toolmaker’s job will also involve using computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines, so a solid background in various technical and IT processes is essential.
• assembling, fitting, and repairing tools
• following engineering drawings to measure and mark out the design for the tool
• using hand tools such as files, diamond files, and grinders
• using machinery such as lathes, presses, milling machines, and grinders to cut and shape the tools
• using 2D and 3D computer-aided design and manufacturing software (CAD/CAM)
• Use precision measuring instruments such as micrometers, gauges, and Vernier calipers to check the tool’s dimensions
• monitoring the tools used on the manufacturing line to ensure efficient run rates and identify necessary repairs or possible improvements
• attending machine breakdowns to identify the root cause and solve the problem
