Responsibilities
Develop and optimize multi-axis motion paths for IPS dual 4-axis gantry machines using Fanuc 30i-B controllers
Utilize 'teach-in' modes and manual G-code entry to program complex geometries including turbine wheel dovetail slots and other profiles
Create and substantiate saturation curves (4-point minimum) to determine saturation time (1T) and ensure peening intensity falls within specified ranges
Configure and calibrate critical machine parameters including air pressure, turntable RPM, nozzle distance/angles, and shot flow rates via MagnaValve controllers
Perform 100% coverage validation
Conduct magnified inspections (up to 25x) to identify and prevent surface defects such as bulges, rolled edges, or over-peening on critical thin edges and radii
Oversee shot classification and maintenance to ensure media meets fracture count and size distribution requirements for Cast Steel or Conditioned Cut Wire media
Provide expert guidance on fixturing design and masking strategies to protect non-peen areas while allowing for proper 'fadeout' in transition zones
Act as the primary trainer for production operators and other engineers
Generate and support workstation instructions (methods) for CNC related issues
