Sets up various sizes and types of multiple-operation slide
forming machines to automatically punch, cut, and bend metal
strips or wire to fabricate parts, such as clips, brackets, and
hairpins, as specified by blueprints and setup charts: Selects
and installs cams, center post, and ram slide, and computes feed
length position of cams and dies, applying knowledge of geometry
and product dimensions. Aligns and bolts cams to shaft, slides
to machine bed, and prgoressive dies to stationary shoes and cam
actuated slides, using micrometers, gauges, feelers, rules, and
handtools.
Adjusts position of cams to synchronize action of
rams, cutters, and drive rolls that feed stock. Turns flywheel
by hand to produce sample part, and comapres part with
specifications, using fixed gauges, micrometer, and calipers.
Readjusts position of dies and cams to achieve specified shape
and dimension.
Turns machine over to Four-Slide-Machine Operator
(any industry) Ii. May sharpen and repair dies, using egnine
lathes, milling machines, precision grinders, hand files, and
scrapers.
