Your shift starts by reviewing planned maintenance for critical tools. You’ll pull a complex mold from storage, use an overhead crane to stage it safely, and perform a full inspection—disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling intricate components. Mid-morning, you’ll collaborate with process and setup technicians to verify an installation, troubleshoot a flash issue by distinguishing process vs. tooling vs. machine causes, and fabricate a replacement core insert on the mill and lathe. In the afternoon, you’ll update spare-part inventory, document work performed, and coordinate an external grind-and-polish service—closing the day with a clean bench and a safe, organized repair area.
