01

Adjust and correct machine set-ups to reduce thicknesses, reshape products, and eliminate product defects.

02

Monitor machine cycles and mill operation to detect jamming and to ensure that products conform to specifications.

03

Examine, inspect, and measure raw materials and finished products to verify conformance to specifications.

04

Read rolling orders, blueprints, and mill schedules to determine setup specifications, work sequences, product dimensions, and installation procedures.

05

Manipulate controls and observe dial indicators to monitor, adjust, and regulate speeds of machine mechanisms.

06

Start operation of rolling and milling machines to flatten, temper, form, and reduce sheet metal sections and to produce steel strips.

07

Set distance points between rolls, guides, meters, and stops, according to specifications.

08

Thread or feed sheets or rods through rolling mechanisms, or start and control mechanisms that automatically feed steel into rollers.

09

Position, align, and secure arbors, spindles, coils, mandrels, dies, and slitting knives.

10

Calculate draft space and roll speed for each mill stand to plan rolling sequences and specified dimensions and tempers.
