• Perform preventive maintenance and lubrication on machines and equipment in the machine shop, with a strong emphasis on chip and coolant handling systems.
• Inspect, service, and replace penthouse filters as part of scheduled maintenance activities.
• Complete preventive maintenance on air handlers, ensuring proper airflow and filtration performance.
• Perform preventive maintenance on test cell pallets, including inspection, cleaning, and lubrication as required.
• Replace hydraulic hoses safely and accurately to prevent leaks and ensure reliable hydraulic system operation.
• Execute lubrication and greasing preventive maintenance tasks on machinery and mechanical components according to established schedules.
• Conduct preventive maintenance on conveyors, including inspection, adjustment, cleaning, and minor mechanical repairs.
• Assist higher-level maintenance technicians in completing complex or two-person tasks on equipment and systems as needed.
• Unplug and clear sluices and other fluid or chip transport pathways to maintain proper flow and prevent blockages.
• Replace way wipers and perform minor mechanical adjustments to ensure machines operate smoothly and within specifications.
• Identify and eliminate air, coolant, and hydraulic leaks by tightening fittings, replacing components, and verifying system integrity.
• Support installation, adjustment, and basic troubleshooting of mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid systems.
• Apply basic welding and cutting skills when needed for maintenance and repair tasks, following safety procedures.
• Use basic electrical knowledge and print reading to assist in diagnosing issues and supporting maintenance activities on CNC machine tools, conveyors, robots, and coolant systems.
• Document completed preventive maintenance tasks and report any issues or abnormalities that require further repair or follow-up.
