CNC Lathe Setup Specialist — Okuma/Fanuc
Your Day
You arrive, pull the traveler, and study a blueprint packed with GD&T callouts. You choose tooling, load material, and bring an Okuma CNC lathe online, navigating confidently across both Fanuc and Okuma controls. Indicators out, offsets set—you verify critical features using hand gauges, an optical comparator, and, when required, a CMM check. A first-article run proves out; you spot a minor optimization, make a simple program edit in G/M code, and let production roll. Later, you pivot to a complex setup following work instructions, changing over efficiently and working with limited supervision to keep quality and throughput on target.

- Interpret blueprints with GD&T and translate them into precise setups and part checks.
