spark erosion machine operator
Spark erosion machine operators set up and tend spark erosion machines designed to cut excess material from a metal workpiece by the use of electrical discharges, or sparks, caused by electric voltage and separated by a dielectric liquid, which removes pieces of metal from the electrodes. These applications can involve transmission and optical microscopy.
Also called: electrical discharge machine operative, electrical discharge machine setter, electrical discharge machine set up technician, electrical sealing machine operator, electrical discharge machine eroder, electrical discharge machine set up operator, electrical discharge machine setup technician, electrical discharge machine set up operative
