CNC Press Brake / Bending Machine Operator (2022-08 – Present)

• Operate CNC Press Brake machines to fabricate precision sheet metal components from engineering drawings, processing an average of 150+ parts per shift with consistent tolerance compliance.
• Calculate bend allowance, bend deduction, and K-factor values to ensure accurate flat pattern dimensions prior to bending, reducing rework caused by dimensional errors.
• Read and interpret engineering and fabrication drawings to set up tooling and bending sequences for Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, and Aluminum components ranging from 0.5mm to 6mm thickness.
• Select appropriate tooling and bend radius per material and gauge, minimizing material cracking and spring-back deviation.
• Inspect finished components using vernier calipers, height gauges, and go/no-go gauges to verify dimensional accuracy against drawing tolerances, maintaining a first-pass quality rate above 95%.
• Identify and flag design issues affecting manufacturability, collaborating with design and production teams to resolve fit and fabrication problems before production runs.
• Maintain consistent production quality and on-time delivery across high-volume fabrication runs supporting multiple client orders simultaneously.
