How do they match: Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic

  • Electric Plater

  • Determine sizes and compositions of objects to be plated, and amounts of electrical current and time required.
  • Monitor and measure thicknesses of electroplating on component parts to verify conformance to specifications, using micrometers.
  • Perform equipment maintenance, such as cleaning tanks and lubricating moving parts of conveyors.
  • Position containers to receive parts, and load or unload materials in containers, using dollies or handtrucks.
  • Replace worn parts and adjust equipment components, using hand tools.
  • Suspend objects, such as parts or molds from cathode rods, or negative terminals, and immerse objects in plating solutions.

  • Adjust flow of electricity to tools or production equipment.
