A professional who sets up torsion spring coiling machines, according to blueprints and setup charts, to fabricate torsion springs from round wire. Respnsibilities include:

• Reviews blueprint to determine setup procedures to follow, machine attachments required, and material specifications for new part, or obtains details from setup chart for repeat orders.
• Requests delivery of specified stock from stockroom to work area.
• Selects machine attachments, such as arbors, cams, and feed mechanism, according to blueprint or setup chart, and installs them on machine.
• Verifies wire diameter, using micrometer caliper, and mounts wire on reel stand and threads end through feed mechanism.
• Sets arbor cam to control pitch of spring.
• Makes trial run and measures sample for conformance to specifications, using micrometers and gauges.
• Adjusts machine to attain specified tolerances and releases machine to spring coiler with oral instructions concerning its operation.
• Grinds machine parts, such as cams and arbor, to maintain dimensions.
• Recommends blueprint changes to resolve production problems.
