“Requirements for Operators of Small Precision Machine Tools (Machining Centers)
In modern manufacturing, small precision machine tools (machining centers) play a crucial role. These machine tools can achieve high-precision cutting movements and are widely used in various fields. They are indispensable for producing high-quality precision parts. In order to fully utilize the advantages of small precision machine tools and ensure processing accuracy and quality, a series of strict requirements are put forward for operators.
I. Requirements for personnel stability
Precision machine tools strictly assign specific people to specific machines and maintain relative stability for a long time. This requirement is of great significance. First of all, small precision machine tools usually have complex structures and high-precision processing requirements. Operators need to spend a lot of time getting familiar with the performance, operation methods, and maintenance procedures of the machine tools. If operators are frequently changed, new operators need to relearn and adapt to the machine tools. This will not only reduce production efficiency but also may lead to a decline in processing quality or even damage to the machine tools due to unskilled operations. Secondly, long-term stable operators can better understand the characteristics and habits of the machine tools and can adjust and optimize according to the actual situation of the machine tools to improve processing accuracy and efficiency. In addition, stable operators can also establish a tacit understanding with the machine tools and better grasp the operating status of the machine tools to detect and solve potential problems in time.

III. Responsibility requirements
Keep the machine tool and accessories in good condition
The operator should keep this machine tool and all accessories in good condition and be responsible for the technical state of this machine tool. This requirement reflects the operator’s responsibility for caring for and maintaining the machine tool. Small precision machine tools and their accessories are usually expensive and play a crucial role in processing accuracy and quality. The operator must properly store the machine tool and accessories to prevent loss, damage, or theft. During the operation process, attention should be paid to protecting the surface and precision of the machine tool to avoid collisions, scratches, or corrosion. At the same time, regular inspections and maintenance of the machine tool and accessories should be carried out to detect and repair potential problems in time to ensure that the machine tool is always in a good technical state.
Keep the workplace clean
The operator should keep the workplace clean, without dust accumulation or chips, and not stack workpieces and sundries unrelated to work. When cleaning the workplace, only use a mop to drag, not a broom to sweep. A clean working environment is crucial for the normal operation and processing quality of small precision machine tools. Dust and chips may enter the interior of the machine tool and affect the precision and performance of the machine tool. Workpieces and sundries unrelated to work may hinder operation and increase safety risks. Using a mop to drag the floor can avoid raising dust and reduce pollution to the machine tool. Sweeping with a broom may raise dust and cause harm to the machine tool and the operator’s health.
