About this role
We are seeking a detail-oriented and mechanically inclined Assembly Cell Operator to join our manufacturing team. In this role, you will be responsible for operating and supporting a state-of-the-art Automated Assembly Cell consisting of four Fanuc industrial robots that produce pipe hanger clevises. This is a hands-on position that plays a critical role in maintaining production flow, cell efficiency, and product quality. Cell Operation & Component Feeding • Load and feed raw components — including clevis tops, clevis bottoms, bolts, and nuts — into the automated assembly cell in accordance with production schedules and work instructions. • Monitor the cell during operation to ensure consistent, uninterrupted component supply and alert supervision of any feed or flow interruptions. • Inspect incoming components for defects or non-conformances prior to feeding the cell. Packaging & Material Handling • Construct and stage corrugated cardboard shipping/storage boxes for the robotic cell to deposit finished clevis assemblies into. • Ensure boxes are properly labeled, sized, and positioned at designated output stations. • Remove completed boxes from the cell, verify counts, and transfer to downstream staging or shipping areas. Sizing Changeovers • Perform product sizing changeovers as directed, which include: • Swapping clevis top and bottom components for alternate sizes • Changing bolt and nut sizes to match the active production order • Replacing and securing 8 tooling fixtures within the cell • Adjusting entrance conveyor lane guides to accommodate different component dimensions • Execute changeovers efficiently and accurately using provided setup sheets and tooling to minimize downtime. Quality & Safety • Perform visual and dimensional quality checks on assembled clevises per established inspection criteria. • Maintain a clean and organized work area in compliance with 5S standards. • Follow all safety protocols, including lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures when performing changeovers or any work near the cell. • Report equipment faults, robot alarms, or quality issues to the supervisor or maintenance team promptly. Documentation • Record production counts, downtime events, and changeover times accurately on shift logs or electronic systems as required.
