Mission
- Prepare and pre-study the machine tool commissioning, according to customer specifications and our contract
- Prepare start-up files based on electrical, mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic drawings produced by our teams
- Prepare the PLC program base (offline)
- Prepare macros (e.g. M06, tool change macros)
- Prepare CNC controller parameters (Siemens or Fanuc)
- Start-up machine and check PLC program conformity
- Program machine tools or automated systems used, among other things, for tool changes, motor cooling, coolant pump control and vacuum control.
- Program the inputs and outputs of the Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Macros from a blank module
- Control the axes (X,Y,Z, BC) of the servo motors (DC motor) which will enable the machine to move precisely, in order to machine parts or remove material
- Carry out functional tests with the equipment engineer (the customer), according to the established specifications, to ensure the machine operates according to contract
- Carry out machine commissioning at customer sites
- Start-up PLC auxiliary units: cooling, hydraulics, and vacuum
- Define and secure minimum/maximum machine distances
- Ensure that the electro spindle complies with performance requirements
- Participate in the analysis and implementation of machine safety systems by producing a report in accordance with ISO-13849.
- Ensure compliance with the schedule established in the start-up file.
- Prepare progress reports to update the start-up file. Send reports to management (Granby, QC.) to follow up on work, problems encountered, and solutions for
- Coordinate work with other members of the installation team (mechanics, IT specialists, electricians) through daily meetings
- Participate in the documentation of commissioned systems, including M-codes and G-codes, in order to create, by the editorial team (Granby, QC.), a machine operation and maintenance manual to be given to the customer
- Train the operator, the electrical maintenance technician, and the parts programmer (the customer) in the use and maintenance of machine tool automation systems, in accordance with system/manual documentation. A minimum of 24 hours of training per shift is planned
