CNC Programmer

CNC Programming :

Prepare CNC programs for Amada CNC Punch Press machines as per approved engineering drawings and

production requirements.

Generate and modify programs using Amada programming software, such as AP100, PD & Sipcut for

CAD/CAM

Interpret 2D engineering drawings, DXF files, and sheet metal component designs.

Select appropriate punching tools, tool stations, and punching sequences based on component geometry.

Optimize nesting programs to minimize sheet metal wastage and improve material utilization.

Develop and modify programs for different sheet thicknesses, materials, and component configurations.

Machine Operation and Production Support :

Ensure correct program loading, tool setup, and machine parameter selection.

Coordinate with CNC operators for first-piece inspection and production runs.

Troubleshoot programming errors, tool collisions, and machining-related issues.

Optimize punching cycles to improve machine productivity and reduce cycle time.

Ensure proper utilization of machine capacity and tooling resources.

Tooling and Maintenance :

Select and verify punches, dies, and special tooling as per component requirements.

Monitor tooling condition and coordinate tool replacement when necessary.

Ensure proper tool clearances and prevent tool damage and machine collisions.

Coordinate with the maintenance team to resolve machine-related problems.

Follow machine operating procedures and safety requirements.

Production Planning and Documentation :

Coordinate with the Production Manager and planning team to meet daily production targets.

Maintain records of CNC programs, tooling details, cycle times, and material utilization.

Ensure proper revision control of programs according to approved engineering drawings.

Support continuous improvement initiatives to reduce rejection, rework, and production costs
