Looking for Role Title: VMC Setter / VMC Setter-cum-Operator Core Objective: Prepare, calibrate, and set up Vertical Machining Centers to manufacture precision metal or alloy components according to engineering drawings and production plans. Key Responsibilities Machine Setup: Perform complete machine setups, including mounting and aligning workpieces, vices, and custom fixtures. Tooling & Offsets: Select, load, and measure cutting tools; set tool length and work coordinate system (WCS) offsets on the controller. Program Loading & Dry Runs: Load, verify, and "prove out" CNC/VMC programs (Fanuc, Siemens, Mitsubishi, or Okuma controls) safely on the first-off component. Quality & Inspection: Measure finished parts using precision instruments (vernier calipers, micrometers, height gauges, CMM data) to ensure compliance with GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) drawings.
