Beamline Welding Machine Operator sets up, programs, runs, and maintains automated welding robots, focusing on loading/unloading beams, reading blueprints, monitoring weld quality with gauges, performing basic maintenance, troubleshooting errors, and ensuring safety to produce consistent, high-quality beam components on the welding robotic cell, requiring basic MIG/TIG skills and strong attention to detail.
- Knowledge of the operation of machines
- Capable of running Welding robots: handling, positioning robots, modifying welding positioning with supervisor permission
- Knowledge of TCP Torch Control
- Utilize the spare parts for small interventions on robots, contact tip, gas nozzle, gas distributors
- Perform quality checks tape measure, bench and measuring station, automatic weld control camera and hook control camera
- Setup & operation: Load/unload parts, position workpieces using jigs/fixtures, and initiate the robotic welding process
- Programming: Input and adjust parameters (power, speed, pattern) for the robot controller based on engineering specs
- Quality control: Visually inspect welds, use measuring tools (gauges, calipers), and remove spatter to ensure parts meet specifications
- Maintenance: Perform routine upkeep like cleaning nozzles, changing wire/tips, lubricating, and reporting malfunctions
- Troubleshooting: Identify and resolve errors or system malfunctions during production runs
- Documentation: Complete production logs, downtime reports, and quality records
- Safety & housekeeping: Follow all safety protocols, maintain a clean work area, and wear required PPE
