Advance Operator Training

March saw MBA Engineering delivering an advanced operator training course to a client. The aim of the course is to:

  • Have a better understanding of how to set the machine for the production of accurate, good quality, and reliable parts

  • Understand the health and safety aspects of using the machine.

  • Increase the knowledge of optimising parameters for better speed and higher quality cut

  • Improved understanding of the standard parameters.


We tweaked the course delivery slightly to maximise the customers benefit, although all the above points were covered in great depth. The participants gained a lot of insight into which parameters to adjust, and when.
Although not always evident, most operators ‘teach themselves’ over time, finding parameters which help optimise the cut. Quite often though, this can impact negatively on the speed of production parts in order to maintain the quality.
Following the completion of this course, there should be evidence that part quality has improved, and if required an increased feed-rate for cutting can be obtained. At this point we would like to point out that it doesn’t suit everyone to speed up production.
