A Day in the Life

You begin by reviewing fabrication drawings and work orders, confirming the correct materials are staged. You program and set up the spot-welding equipment, adjust stops and guides, and secure each workpiece. With pneumatic and filing tools, you select the proper tip size to hold tight weld tolerances. You change out dyes, stamps, and jigs per blueprint specifications, then start the machine and perform precise spot welds to join vane pockets to vane bodies. Quality checks follow—measuring pocket gaps, verifying variances, and conducting shear tests—before reporting results and moving to the next assembly.
