Mazak Integrex/Variaxis 5-Axis Setup Specialist
A day in your life at Acero PrecisionYou start your shift in our climate-controlled shop, review setup sheets, and stage tooling for a Mazak Integrex or Variaxis cell building medical components. You dial in work offsets, touch off tools, load the CNC program, and run the first-article. With micrometers and indicators in hand, you verify geometry and finish against tight GD&T callouts. A small wear offset here, a tool change there—then the process is locked in. You keep the spindle cutting, collaborate with programmers and quality, and make sure every part ships on time with zero surprises.What you’ll handleSet up and operate Mazak Integrex and Variaxis 5-axis CNC machines to produce high-precision medical componentsExecute complete setups using setup sheets, tooling documentation, and detailed process instructionsMeasure and validate parts with precision inspection equipment to meet demanding tolerancesApply tool and wear offsets, perform safe tool changes, and verify tool condition, lengths, and locationsLoad and verify CNC programs to support both setup and production runsPerform first-article inspections, monitor in-process tolerances, surface finishes, and potential defectsConduct routine maintenance to keep machines in peak condition and minimize downtimeTroubleshoot machining issues and implement corrective actionsWork with materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, cobalt chrome, and specialty plasticsPartner with programmers, engineers, and quality to drive continuous improvementWhy this work mattersEvery setup you master and every tolerance you hold contributes to life-changing medical devices.
