Inspect finished parts using precision measuring instruments including micrometers, calipers, height gauges, bore gauges, and CMM outputs.
Ensure components consistently meet tight tolerances (e.g., $\pm 0.0005''$ / $\pm 0.01 \text{ mm}$).
Maintenance & Troubleshooting:
Conduct daily and weekly preventive maintenance on DMG MORI machines (coolant levels, lubrication system, chip conveyor, spindle check).
Diagnose operational issues, tool wear, and chatter; make real-time adjustments to cutting parameters.
