The person will be responsible for creating and optimizing CNC programs for pipe bending operations, manufacturing process piping according to engineering drawings for food beverage process equipment. The role ensures safe, repeatable and cost-effective bending processes that meet dimensional and quality requirements. YOUR SCOPE Create, validate and maintain CNC programs for the pipe bending machine based on 2D/3D drawings, piping isometrics and technical specifications.
Define the bending sequence, machine parameters and setup required to manufacture process piping in accordance with drawings and applicable quality requirements. Select and define the required bending tools, including dies, clamps, pressure dies, mandrels and wiper dies, according to pipe material, diameter, wall thickness and bend geometry. Perform program prove-out, first-piece trials and dimensional checks, applying the necessary corrections to achieve repeatable production results.
Optimize bending parameters and cycles to minimize deformation, ovality, wrinkling, springback, scrap, setup time and cycle time. Work with Engineering and Manufacturing to improve piping manufacturability, bend feasibility, tolerances and routing while preserving functional requirements. Prepare and maintain machine setup sheets, work instructions, tooling data and standard operating parameters for production.
Support troubleshooting on the shop floor and carry out root-cause analysis for bending defects and process deviations. Contribute to productivity, quality, lead-time and manufacturing cost targets through standardization and continuous improvement.
