CNC Turning Setup Specialist (Okuma/Fanuc)
Manufacturing
Job Description
Job Description A day in this role
You arrive to find an Okuma lathe ready for a new run. You review the blueprint, interpret GD&T callouts, load tooling, and dial in zero points. You verify dimensions with hand gauges, then move to the optical comparator and CMM for first-article checks. A quick G/M code tweak optimizes cycle time, and you complete a complex setup from clear work instructions—confidently and with limited supervision. By shift end, the machine is producing consistent, spec-perfect parts for production.

- Work primarily on Okuma machines utilizing Fanuc and Okuma controls.
- Read blueprints and apply GD&T to ensure parts meet specification.
- Use measuring tools from hand instruments to optical comparator and CMM for in-process and final checks.
