CNC Press Brake Programmer & Forming Specialist (DALEM Controller)
Precision Metal Fabrication

Location:

Whitesburg, Georgia

Employment Type:

Full-Time Experience

Required:

Minimum 3 years operating and 3 years programming CNC press brakesA day in this role Picture your day starting at a spotless, well-organized workstation. You review the build schedule for premium stainless-steel ranges and ventilation systems, open engineering drawings, and step up to a DALEM Touch Screen Control. You create or refine a bending program, select the right punches and dies, and set your back gauges to achieve the perfect sequence.

After a dry run and simulation, you form a first article, inspect every dimension and angle, and validate cosmetic standards before releasing production. Throughout the run, you adjust for spring-back, track documentation, label parts accurately, and collaborate with engineering when a smarter bend path or tooling choice can improve manufacturability. You end your shift the same way you started—tools in order, machine calibrated, paperwork complete, and parts ready for the next operation.

What you'll own Programming (DALEM):
Build, edit, save, and organize part programs; optimize bend sequences; set back gauges; program bend allowances/deductions; set ram depth; configure material thickness; select tooling in-control; run simulations; troubleshoot program errors; and improve cycle times without sacrificing quality.

Setup:
Install and align upper/lower tooling; verify tonnage needs; set zero points; confirm calibration; check hydraulic function; confirm material orientation; perform dry-run verification; and produce an approved first article.

Production & Quality:
Form stainless, aluminum, and mild steel within specified tolerances; verify bend angles and critical dimensions; handle cosmetic stainless with care to prevent scratches; maintain production documentation; label completed parts; and ensure parts are clean, accurate, and ready for downstream processes.

Continuous Improvement & Communication:
Determine bend sequences to minimize distortion; assist engineering with manufacturability; communicate issues promptly; and uphold 5S standards.

Safety:
Operate equipment safely, wear required PPE, maintain guards, report hazards, follow lockout/tagout, and keep the work area clean.
