My client company is looking for a bending operator that is responsible for operating and maintaining machines that bend or shape metal or other materials into specific forms or angles. Job Responsibilities 1. Machine Operation: • Set up and operate bending machines such as press brakes, tube benders, or CNC bending machines. • Adjust machine settings like speed, pressure, and angle to meet the specifications for the required bend. • Ensure that the correct dies or tools are used for the job. 2. Material Handling: • Select and load materials (typically metal sheets, rods, or tubes) into the machine. • Measure and cut the materials to the correct size before bending. • Inspect the material for defects before starting the bending process. 3. Quality Control: • Check and verify the bend angle and dimensions of the material after each bend to ensure they meet engineering specifications. • Use measurement tools such as calipers, micrometers, or gauges to ensure accuracy. • Perform visual checks for surface defects or imperfections. 4. Maintenance and Troubleshooting: • Perform routine maintenance on the bending machines to ensure they are operating efficiently. • Troubleshoot and address machine malfunctions or inaccuracies during the bending process. • Keep the work area clean and organized, ensuring the machines are in good working order. 5.
