Spinning machine operator jobs in Finland
Spinning machine operators produce yarns, twists, and other fibres by tending spinning, twisting, winding, and reeling machines. They handle raw materials, prepare them for spinning processes, and use machinery for the purpose. They also perform routine maintenance of the machinery.
Spinning machine operator - Which skills are essential?
Observe machine operations and evaluate product quality thereby ensuring conformity to standards.
Identify, report and repair equipment damage and malfunctions; communicate with field representatives and manufacturers to obtain repair and replacement components.
Supply the machine with the necessary tools and items for a particular production purpose.
Remove defective materials from the production line.
Be able to measure yarn length and mass to assess fineness of roving, sliver and yarn in different measuring systems.Also able to convert into the various numbering system such as tex, Nm, Ne, denier, etc.
Collect samples of materials or products for laboratory analysis.
Adjust the tension of the filament to be wound. Make sure the filament is not so lax as to produce unevenness in the workpiece, or so tight as to introduces deformations in the filament or lower the filament ratio to unacceptably low levels.
Regularly inspect and perform all required activities to maintain the equipment in functional order prior or after its use.
Maintaining standards of work in order to improve and acquire new skills and work methods.
Ensure health and safety of personnel during manufacturing process.
Perform the operation, monitoring and maintenance of machines and processes to manufacture staple fiber yarns.
Set up or adjust machine controls to regulate conditions such as material flow, temperature, or pressure.
Operate spinning machines keeping efficiency and productivity at high levels.
Types of thread, such as unified thread, metric thread, square thread, ACME thread, buttress thread and their qualities and applications.
Define the adequate speed at which a manufacturing machine should operate in order to provide the required output in manufacturing processes.
After the filament workpiece has been wound, cut the filament to release the workpiece.
Spinning machine operator - Which skills are useful but not essential?
Perform wrapping of yarns around bobbins or spools by using adequate equipment for the process.
Complete the processing operation of man-made fibres and ensure that the product is made according to customer specification.
Convert textile fibres into drafting sliver by working in the fibre opening, carding and drafting process.
Evaluating the physical properties of textiles by using testing methods, normally in accordance with a standard; it includes fibre identification and trouble shooting.
Textile technologies to design, manufacture and evaluate the properties of textiles.
Converting synthetic granule into man-made-fibres such as filament yarns or staple fibre yarns.
Convert slivers into yarns or threads by combing processes converting drafting card sliver to combed sliver. Form short fibre to yarn using yarn and thread processing technologies, mostly ring spinning or open-end spinning (rotor spinning) or alternative spinning techniques. Work in the drafting or drawing process converting sliver into roving and converting roving into yarn, through further drafting and twisting processes. Work on winding machines to reel the yarn from bobbins onto spools or cones.
Use electronic, mechanical, electric, or optical precision tools for precision work.
Work harmoniously with colleagues in teams in the textile and clothing manufacturing industries.
Technologies, operations, monitoring and maintenance of machines during the yarn spinning process.
Prepare for textile testing and evaluation, gathering the test samples, conducting and recording tests, validating data and presenting results.
Theoretical and practical applications of the science studying the action of displacements and forces on physical bodies to the development of machinery and mechanical devices.
Evaluate textiles and their properties in order to manufacture products in conformity with specifications.
