JOB REQUIREMENTS: Job Description: The Press Quench Operator is responsible for the successful daily operation of the press quench work cell. In this position, you will review the furnace schedules in our Bluestreak ERP system. You will use a forklift to retrieve parts to be processed. The work instructions will give you a description of the needed tooling for installing your presses. After verifying the press has been set up properly, you will load parts into a furnace with an overhead part handling system. You will program and monitor the furnace as the parts are heated. When the parts have completed the heating cycle, you will use the overhead part handling system to unload the hot parts from the furnace and into the press, where they will undergo a two in one pressing and quenching operation. After the press and quench is finished, you will be required to take dimensional measurements of the gear teeth, bore and other areas. You will then prepare the parts for the next thermal operations. You will be processing a variety of parts with different applications, such as gears as small as 3\" or up to as large as 48\". Keeping gears flat within very tight tolerances is the goal we strive for, as other heat treaters find attaining that desired outcome can be difficult to achieve.
