Job Description & How to Apply Below
Atlas Fibre Company
Location:
Northbrook, Illinois
Shift: Second ShiftA day on the second shift
You clock in, review the job travelers, and pull up prints for the next run. The Okuma LB3000 is waiting. You mount tooling, touch off, set work and tool offsets, and run a careful first-article. Micrometers and calipers confirm diameters. A drop indicator checks runout. Height and thread gauges verify the details. The part matches the drawing—time to move into steady production.
Later in the evening, you transition to the LB4000 for a different lot. You change inserts, tweak offsets to hold tolerance, and keep a log of adjustments. When something drifts, you catch it early, correct it, and keep quality on track. Dependable, punctual, detail-obsessed—that’s how you and your team finish strong every shift.
