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 progressive dies to stationary sohes and cam
actuated slides, using micrometers, gauges, feelers, rules, and
handtools. Adjusts position of cams to synchronize action of
rams, cutters, and drvie rolls that feed stock. Turns flywheel
by hand to produce samlpe part, and compares part with
specifications, using fixed gauges, micrometer, and calipers.
Readjusts positoin of dies and cams to achieve specified shape
and dimension. Turns mcahine over to Four-Slide-Machine Operator
(any industry) Ii. May sharpen and reapir dies, using engine
lathes, milling machines, precision grinders, hand files, and
scrapers.
