Assembly Fitter

We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Assembly Fitter with direct experience in building, assembling, and aligning automatic/semi-automatic packaging machinery, specifically Tube Filling & Sealing Machines (Lami/Plastic/Aluminium tubes).

The role involves mechanical sub-assembly, indexing unit integration, precision alignment, pneumatic fitting, and dry run testing before dispatch.

Key Responsibilities

• Machine Assembly: Assemble mechanical sub-units and complete machine structures according to 2D engineering drawings.
• Component Alignment: Precision mounting and alignment of indexing mechanisms/turrets, cam drives, linear guides, shafts, bearings, and gearboxes.
• Station Setup: Fit and adjust functional stations including tube loading/feeding systems, orientation/eye-mark sensors, dosing pumps/filling nozzles, hot air/crimping sealing units, and trimming/ejection mechanisms.
• Pneumatics & Piping: Install pneumatic actuators, cylinders, solenoid valves, FRL units, and routing of PU tubing.
• Bench Work & Precision Fitting: Perform accurate scraping, filing, tapping, reaming, and minor lathe/drill modifications to achieve required tolerances.
• Testing & Pre-dispatch Trials: Conduct mechanical dry runs, stroke timing checks, leak checks on filling valves, and support trials using dummy tubes.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Prior experience assembling tube filling machines, cartoning machines, or similar rotary packaging SPMs.
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical assembly drawings and part dimensions accurately.
• Hands-on proficiency with precision measuring instruments: Vernier calliper, micrometer, and dial indicators.
• Sound knowledge of mechanical clearances, bearing fits, keyway alignments, and backlash adjustments.
• Basic troubleshooting skills during initial machine dry runs and commissioning.
