Metal Press Operator
Metal press operators operate automatic or semi-automatic
machines or machine tools to shape and form metal products or
parts.
Metal press operators may perform the following tasks:
- operate machines that may be mechanically or computer
driven
- manually load the unformed or partly formed parts into
the machine press
- operate machines or manually place sheetmetal against
guide pins to make sure it is accurately pressed
- look after machines or machine tools that shape or form
metal by pressing and stamping
- check machine operation and report faults to their
supervisor
- unload machines, inspect the final product and reload
machines
- put in data through computer terminals to compensate for
machine/material variations
- measure and examine a sample of the machine product
before making a full production run.
Metal press operators usually work in factories and they
may work shifts. The job requires constant concentration but
can be repetitive. Metal press operators usually sit or stand
for long periods. They may work alone or as part of a
production line team and may be required to operate more than
one machine. The press shop is very noisy and ear protection
is worn.
