Job ID: 550470BR Date posted: Feb. 18, 2021 Locations: Marietta, GeorgiaProgram: Fabrication Description:Per Hourly Job DescriptionThis occupation covers setting up and operating tube data center equipment to measure bent tube shapes, tube fixtures and solid rod master templates and to produce measurement printouts and punched tapes for use on manual and automatic bending machines. It also includes the set up and operation of manual, power-operated mandrel, automatic tape controlled, and computerized numerical controlled (CNC) tube bending machines to fabricate production tubing from bend data card, tubing detail or assembly blueprints and library mock-up tubes developed by mock-up personnel. Knowledge and Ability Required: Complete knowledge of the bending characteristics of various metals and alloys, ability to derive and apply bend data and to operate all machines, equipment, and processing functions within a tube fabrication center. Ability to work cooperatively with development and other authorized personnel in resolving tubing/bend data problems. To use complex assembly and detail blueprints and ship-developed mock-up tubes to extract relationship of bends to other bends and the direction of the rotations. To use arithmetic including decimals and fractions and solve simple specified formulae. Makes measurements from master and/or inputs tube data dimensional information from drawings and engineering sketches to develop data for reproducing or checking bent tube configurations by utilizing tube data center equipment.Positions master shape on measuring table in a free position and clamps to prevent movement and allow accessibility to areas to be measured. Selects appropriate measuring probe; resets measuring system, as required; utilizes applicable program, data, edit, and optional modes necessary to input, retrieve, review, change, and alter absolute, incremental and compensated information; changes to applicable mode and obtains print-out deviations for checking purposes. Utilizes all operational codes and operates keyboard, tape punch reader, and measuring probe in accordance with applicable procedures; prepares repunched control tapes to incorporate changes and correct errors. Sets up and operates manual and power-operated mandrel type binders in fabricating production tubing of various wall thicknesses from bend data cards to produce tubing to applicable specifications. Sets up and operates automatic tape and CNC tube bending machines to make new and experimental tubes requiring development of bend data from sample or library tubes or blueprints, determination of operation sequences, preparation of control tapes, and determination of percentage and constant ratios. Reworks control tapes to incorporate changes and correct errors in dimension, degrees, and rotation values. Operates automatic tube bending machines manually when required. See complete job description.Basic Qualifications:A candidate is required to have the following minimum level of experience and/or training: Minimum 2 years experience operating manual and CNC tube benders machines designed for the manufacturing of thin aircraft tubing. Experience should include: 1. Producing and programming bent tube configurations using CNC tube bending machines utilizing drawings, XYZ data, LRA's (Length Rotation Angle), and tangent points. 2. Utilizing CMM (Coordinated Measurement Machine) devices and precision measurement tools (calipers, protractors, scales, height gauges, etc.) to accurately record and/or correct degrees, rotation, and other similar bend date to match master data set. 3. Developing bend data information to, utilizing shop math, to create mock-up tubes and/or production tubes utilizing ancillary manufacturing machines such as saws, fittings, decal applications, and other as required.Desired Skills:Aircraft manufacturing tube bending experience.5+ years experience operating manual and CNC tube benders machines designed for the manufacturing of thin aircraft tubing.
