Position Description
Machine operators in this position setup, operate and adjust Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Automated Spar Assembly Tools (ASAT), utilizing pre-planned control media and/or program documents to drill, chamfer, rivet, fasten and assemble wing spars for all Boeing Aircraft model configurations. Employment in this position also requires rotation of head/neck, sitting, walking, standing, finger manipulation, contact with metals, lubricants and solvents, exposure to noise and vibration, and the use of personal safety gear face/eyes and ears. Additional Tasks, Duties and Responsibilities: Prepare to set-up job (e.g., production orders, tool tryouts, data tryouts) by reviewing priority jobs, work order, tie-in sheets, operator's or setup documents and drawings. Check machine set-up and/or parts in work by previous operator to determine progress on a job and ensure safe working conditions. Obtain pre-picked detail parts (e.g., spar, cords, stiffeners, rib posts), ensure that part numbers on parts match those that are called out on drawings. Apply sealant to cord and spar at appropriate stage of assembly process per drawing or specifications. Locate cords and spar on Floor-Mounted Assembly Jig (FAJ) with a team of co-workers or by using overhead crane. Secure FAJ clamps in the closed position per tooling instructions and/or drawing and obtain tool fit inspection from Quality Assurance (QA). Retrieve and download Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programs to machine controller using computing equipment and downloading from various servers/data bases. Select machine accessories (e.g., nosepieces, probes, collars, rivet injectors, rivet dies) and attach using hand tools (e.g., wrenches, spanners). Set machine(s) coordinates or index points per program documents, including cutter offset/compensations and probes, using controller keyboard, coax indicator or digital readout. Select and check cutters/drills per program or CNC documents. Ensure cutters/drills are the correct type, length, diameter, and are sharp and in good condition. Replace worn, chipped, and defective tools, check/adjust overall tool length by using a chamfer gauge and hand tools, as required. Load and unload cutters following program information or set-up documents, using tool holders, spindle tapers, hand tools (e.g., wrenches, mallets, spanners). Verify tool/cutter changes by loading calibration test coupon and running CNC program per program documents. Verify that hole dimensions and fastener characteristics are per drawing and enter data into CNC data base. Run first phase or media one of CNC program to drill, chamfer, rivet, and install fasters and assemble cords and spar following program documents. Adjust machine settings (e.g., speeds and feeds) to correct machining problems or to prepare machine for next operation in sequence, as required. Perform minor editing of CNC programs per shop requirements. Perform assembly work by locating detail positions on spar, (e.g., stiffeners, rib posts) mark location per drawing. Shim and place components into marked position. Run second phase or media two of CNC program to drill, chamfer and install fasteners to attach stiffeners, and rib posts per CNC documents. Handle and dispose of hazardous materials in approved manner..
