2nd Shift Coil Slitter Setup

Essential Duties And Responsibilities

• Review work orders to determine required coil dimensions, material specifications, and slitting parameters.
• Select the appropriate coil material from inventory and transport it to the slitting line using forklifts, overhead hoists, and coil handling equipment.
• Load coils onto the payoff reel utilizing overhead hoists, forklifts, coil tippers, and other approved lifting devices.
• Set up rotary slitting blades and spacers on machine shafts to achieve specified strip widths.
• Thread material through feed rollers, guides, and cutting blades, ensuring proper alignment and tracking.
• Adjust machine settings—including tension, blade timing, and feed rate—using rheostats, controls, and handwheels to meet dimensional and quality specifications.
• Start and operate the slitting machine, verifying the accuracy of cuts using appropriate measuring tools.
• Maintain machine operation by monitoring for issues such as jamming, wrinkling, irregular cuts, or material defects; stop the machine and make necessary adjustments to maintain product quality.
• Manage take-up drums and ensure proper lapping, tensioning, and winding of slit material.
• Operate counting devices, automatic tables, or lifting platforms to support production output and material handling.
• Secure completed coils using tape or banding and accurately label finished rolls with required identifying information, including barcodes or markings.
• Remove finished coils from the machine using overhead hoists and transport them to designated staging areas.
• Replace worn cutting blades, spacers, and related components using proper hand tools, ensuring safe and efficient maintenance of equipment.
• Monitor scrap collection tanks and empty them into designated recycling containers using overhead hoists and forklifts as needed.

Physical Demands

• Standing, walking, pushing, pulling, bending, and stooping for extended periods.
• Strength demand: Exerting 20 to 50 pounds of force occasionally, 10 to 25 pounds of force frequently, and up to 10 pounds of force constantly to move objects.
