Precision Barrel Bar Fabrication Technician

Step into a Day on the Barrel Bar Line

You clock in, review the work queue on your tablet, and head to your station. First up: sorting raw material. With go/no‑go gauges in hand, you assess straightness and separate anything that needs correction. Next, you move to the hydraulic press, making precise adjustments to bring each bar within spec. A quick verification with product‑specific gauges confirms you’ve nailed the tolerance.

As orders progress, you transition to fully and semi‑automated grinding equipment, dialing in settings to achieve the intended specifications. Once the finish is just right, you laser‑etch each product, box the final pieces, and record every step in the ERP system using a computer or PC‑based tablet. Throughout the shift, you keep your area clean, perform routine maintenance checks, and collaborate with peers and leaders to maintain a safe, respectful workplace.
