Prepare laser machines for production by loading materials, selecting appropriate cutting or engraving parameters, and ensuring proper alignment of materials within the machine.
Operate laser machines to perform cutting, engraving, or marking processes on materials such as metal, wood, plastic, glass, and other substrates.
Perform routine maintenance tasks on laser machines, such as cleaning optics, checking gas levels, and replacing worn or damaged components. Troubleshoot and diagnose minor machine issues to minimize downtime.
Adhere to safety protocols and guidelines while operating the machinery and working with potentially hazardous laser beams and materials. Ensure the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Maintain accurate records of production runs, machine settings, and any adjustments made to programs or processes. Document maintenance tasks performed and any issues encountered.
Communicate with design teams, engineers, and other team members to discuss project requirements, troubleshoot design issues, and ensure effective communication throughout the production process.
