Evaluate which deficient processed workpieces do not meet the set-up standard and should be removed and sort the waste according to regulations.
Identify operating problems, decide what to do about it and report accordingly.
Remove individual workpieces after processing, from the manufacturing machine or the machine tool. In case of a conveyor belt this involves quick, continuous movement.
Measure the size of a processed part when checking and marking it to check if it is up to standard by use of two and three dimensional precision measuring equipment such as a caliper, a micrometer, and a measuring gauge.
Closely observe the actions of the mechanical cutting tools, resulting in a flawless engraving process.
Ensure that the necessary equipment is provided, ready and available for use before start of procedures.
Operate mechanical engraving tools and machines, set controls of cutting tools. Make adjustments if necessary.
