About this role
CNC PRESS BRAKE MACHINE
OPERATOR
Company: Kanha Metal Works (KMW)
Employment Type: Full-time / Contractual
Work Location: KMW Workshop / Factory
Experience: 2-5 years preferred
Wage Type: Daily wages
1. Job Purpose
KMW is hiring a skilled CNC Press Brake Machine Operator to set up and operate
CNC-controlled press brake machines for bending metal sheets and plates according to
approved engineering drawings and production specifications. The candidate must
ensure dimensional accuracy, consistent quality, safe machine operation, efficient
material usage, and timely production.
2. Key Responsibilities
A. Machine Operation and Setup
1. Operate CNC press brake machines to produce components according to
approved drawings, bending sequences, and work instructions.
2. Select and install suitable punches, dies, and tooling based on material type,
thickness, bend radius, and job requirements.
3. Select approved CNC programs and adjust permitted parameters within
authorized limits.
4. Set back gauges, position and align sheets correctly, and perform initial setup
checks and first-piece trials before batch production.
5. Monitor machine performance, identify abnormal operation or tooling issues, and
report faults promptly.
6. Handle and stack completed components carefully to prevent scratches, dents,
deformation, and other damage.
B. Drawing Interpretation and Job Preparation
1. Read and interpret engineering and fabrication drawings, bending layouts,
dimensions, tolerances, and work instructions.
2. Identify material grade, thickness, bend angles, bend locations, flange
dimensions, and other critical features.
3. Verify material identification, tooling, and CNC program availability before starting
production.
4. Apply basic knowledge of bend allowance, bend deduction, bend radius,
springback, and bending sequence.
5. Clarify drawing discrepancies, missing dimensions, or program errors with the
supervisor or programming team before proceeding.
C. Quality Control and Inspection
1. Inspect the first component after setup and obtain approval where required
before proceeding with batch production.
2. Check bend angles, flange lengths, overall dimensions, squareness, and
specified tolerances using suitable measuring instruments.
3. Monitor production quality and identify defects such as incorrect bend angles,
dimensional deviations, scratches, cracks, deformation, and inconsistent bends.
4. Segregate non-conforming components, report defects, make authorized
corrections, and repeat inspections as required.
5. Maintain production, inspection, rejection, and machine-stoppage records
according to KMW procedures.
D. Production and Machine Maintenance
1. Complete assigned jobs within production schedules while minimizing setup time,
machine downtime, material wastage, and rework.
2. Coordinate with cutting, fabrication, fitting, welding, and assembly teams to
ensure smooth production flow and component traceability.
3. Report material shortages, tooling requirements, machine breakdowns, and
production bottlenecks.
4. Perform routine cleaning and operator-level maintenance as authorized; maintain
machine logs and report maintenance requirements.
5. Store tooling properly and maintain an organized machine and work area.
E. Safety and Housekeeping
1. Follow KMW safety procedures and machine-specific operating instructions; use
prescribed PPE, including safety footwear and eye protection as appropriate.
2. Keep hands and other body parts clear of punches, dies, pinch points, and
hazardous moving components.
3. Handle large, heavy, or awkward sheets using approved methods and assistance
or handling equipment where required.
4. Check machine guards, safety interlocks, emergency stops, and other protective
devices according to prescribed checklists.
5. Stop operation and report abnormal noises, hydraulic issues, control errors,
tooling damage, or safety-device faults.
6. Follow approved lockout and isolation procedures before maintenance or
accessing hazardous areas. Never bypass guards, interlocks, or safety
procedures.
7. Keep the machine area, tooling racks, worktables, and walkways clean and
organized.
3. Qualifications and Experience
1. ITI in Fitter, Turner, Machinist, Sheet Metal, Mechanical, or a related trade is
preferred. A Diploma in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent technical training
is an advantage.
2. Preferably 2-5 years of hands-on CNC press brake operation experience in
metal fabrication or manufacturing.
3. Familiarity with CNC controls, programming interfaces, machine setup, tooling
selection, and authorized parameter adjustments.
4. Ability to interpret engineering drawings, dimensions, bending layouts, and
tolerances.
5. Practical understanding of sheet metal bending, bend sequence, springback,
tooling, and material behaviour.
6. Experience bending mild steel is preferred; stainless steel and aluminium
experience is an advantage.
7. Ability to use measuring instruments, perform dimensional inspections, and
follow work and safety instructions in a language understood by the candidate.
4. Required Skills and Personal Attributes
1. Practical proficiency in CNC press brake operation and setup.
2. Strong drawing interpretation, measurement, and dimensional accuracy skills.
3. Ability to identify routine bending defects and correct them within authorized
limits.
4. Responsible handling of machine tooling, materials, and finished components.
5. Awareness of machine guarding, pinch points, and safe sheet handling.
6. Discipline, punctuality, accountability, and ability to work independently while
coordinating with the production team.
5. Wage and Employment Terms
The final wage will be determined by KMW based on practical assessment, machine
experience, drawing interpretation, setup capability, accuracy, and job complexity.
Payment will be based on recorded attendance and the agreed wage cycle. Working
hours, overtime, weekly rest, leave, and applicable statutory benefits will be governed
by company policy and applicable Indian labour laws.
6. Selection Process
1. Screening of relevant CNC press brake operating experience.
2. Practical assessment of machine setup, tooling selection, sheet positioning, and
bending, where feasible.
3. Assessment of drawing interpretation, dimensional measurement, and first-piece
inspection.
4. Evaluation of defect identification, basic troubleshooting, and machine safety
awareness.
5. Final selection by the authorized KMW representative.
7. Performance Expectations
The selected candidate must produce components within specified tolerances, maintain
consistent bending quality, minimize material wastage and rework, follow machine
safety procedures, maintain required records, and complete assigned jobs within
production timelines.
