Bending Programmer

✅ 1. Qualification

• Education: Diploma or ITI in Mechanical/Production Engineering; OR B.E./B.Tech (Mechanical) preferred.
• Experience: 2–5 years in CNC nesting and bending programming using software like Lantek, SigmaNEST, or equivalent.
• Skills:
• Knowledge of CNC press brake operation
• Understanding of sheet metal behavior, bend allowance, and tool selection
• Proficiency in reading engineering drawings

✅ 2. Roles

• Create and optimize CNC programs for laser cutting and press brake machines.
• Ensure material utilization is maximized (nesting efficiency).
• Reduce programming errors that affect bending precision or material scrap.
• Provide accurate flat patterns and bending instructions to production.

✅ 3. Responsibilities

• Interpret 2D/3D drawings and convert them into CAM programs for sheet metal cutting and bending.
• Manage nesting layouts to minimize wastage of raw material.
• Select proper tooling and sequence for press brake operations.
• Coordinate with production and maintenance for smooth machine running.
• Update part libraries and version control for repeated jobs.

✅ 4. Activities

• Daily program generation for new and repeat parts.
• Nesting layout preparation for upcoming production batches.
• Back-and-forth coordination with design and production teams.
• Modify programs based on feedback or change requests.
• Maintain a programming log and nesting efficiency tracker.

✅ 5. Facilities Required

• Desktop computer with high-performance processor and CAD/CAM software installed.
• Licensed CAM software (e.g., SigmaNEST, Lantek, Metamation).
• Access to printer/scanner for printouts and documentation.
• Safety gear for shopfloor visits (shoes, helmet, glasses).
• ERP login with BOM and drawing access.
• Intra-factory transport allowance if location is far from office floor.

✅ 6. Authorities

• Authority to finalize nesting patterns for cutting and bending.
• Can reject poorly made drawings or request drawing clarifications from the Design team.
• Can suggest design changes for manufacturability.
• Access to CNC programming servers and machine data via ERP.

✅ 7. Key Performance Areas (KPAs)

• Nesting yield (% material utilization).
• Number of programming errors per 100 parts.
• Downtime reduction due to optimized bending sequences.
• On-time program delivery for production.
• Collaboration score with production and design teams.

✅ 8. Career Growth Plan

• Nesting & Bending Programmer (M2) → Production Engineer - Sheet Metal (M3) → Manufacturing Engineer - Sheet Metal (M4) → Production Manager (M6).
• Can grow horizontally into Design for Manufacturing (DFM) or CAM Specialist roles.
• Eligible for training in 3D CAD, advanced CAM, lean manufacturing.

✅ 9. Reporting & Coordination

• Reports To: Sheet Metal Line Manager (M4/M5)
• Coordinates With: Design Engineer, CNC Machine Operator, Quality Inspector, Production Planner

✅ 10. Integration with HR & ERP

• Nesting and bending KPAs logged into ERP through production reports.
• Linked to drawing versions, material issue slips, and machine logs.
• Performance evaluation based on material savings, cycle time reduction, and programming accuracy.
