VMC Programmer

Job Objective:

To prepare efficient and accurate CNC programs for VMC machines used in machining mould base components, ensuring high precision, productivity, and quality output.

Key Responsibilities:

• Programming & Tool Path Generation:
• Develop CNC programs for VMC machines using CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, NX, HyperMill, SolidCAM).
• Generate tool paths for components like cavity plates, core plates, ejector plates, bolster plates, etc.
• Drawing & CAD Model Interpretation:
• Understand 2D/3D designs, engineering drawings, and GD&T specifications.
• Analyze part geometry and define machining strategy accordingly.
• Tool & Fixture Planning:
• Select appropriate cutting tools, tool holders, and machining parameters.
• Plan fixture layouts and clamping methods to ensure machining accuracy.
• Process Optimization:
• Optimize programs for cycle time reduction and surface finish improvements.
• Improve tool life and machine efficiency through better feed and speed strategies.
• Machine Setup Support:
• Collaborate with VMC operators for program prove-out and first-piece approval.
• Provide detailed setup sheets, tool lists, and coordinate data to operators.
• Troubleshooting:
• Address and resolve issues related to programming, machining errors, or tolerance deviations.
• Modify existing programs as needed to correct issues or improve performance.
• Documentation:
• Maintain proper records of programs, revisions, and version history.
• Ensure all programs follow internal standards and naming conventions.

Skills & Requirements:

• Education:

ITI / Diploma / B.E. in Mechanical Engineering, Tool & Die Making, or related field.
