Machine Operation and Setup: This is the core of the training. It includes: Familiarization: Learning the nomenclature and function of various machine parts, controls, and mechanisms.
Tooling: Understanding how to change, set, and sharpen tools like drills, reamers, form tools, and taps.
Cams and Gears: Gaining proficiency in changing and adjusting cams and gears for different part layouts and machine speeds.
Blueprint Reading: Interpreting engineering blueprints to understand part specifications and dimensions.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting: Operators learn basic lubrication schedules and how to identify and solve common issues to minimize downtime, such as tap failure or part inconsistencies.
Quality Control: Training also includes how to use measuring devices (calipers, micrometers) and perform inspections to ensure parts meet quality standards.
