Job Function ### Key Job Functions & Responsibilities Machine Setup & Operation Configure, operate, and monitor CNC fiber tube laser cutting machines to process structural steel tubing, pipe, channel, and custom profiles according to engineering drawings and production schedules. Set up and adjust focus positions, assist gas pressures (oxygen, nitrogen, air), cutting speeds, and power parameters based on profile type, wall thickness, and material grade. Perform routine pre-operation inspections, lens cleaning, nozzle checks, and preventative maintenance on optical assemblies, chucks, and loading systems. Nesting Optimization & Material Efficiency Utilize specialized tube nesting and CAD/CAM software to optimize part layouts along lengths of tubing, maximizing material yield and minimizing offcut scrap. Review shop floor drawings, bill of materials (BOM), and cut lists prior to execution to verify dimensional accuracy, profile types, and material certifications. Quality Control & Inspection Measure finished cut tubes and profiles using precision measuring tools (calipers, tape measures, angle gauges) to verify conformance to strict dimensional and angular tolerances. Inspect cut edges, laser kerfs, and complex copes/miters for dross, slag, and surface defects, making real-time machine adjustments as needed. Clearly label, sort, and stage finished tube bundles and skeleton offcuts for secondary processing, welding, or shipping.
