CNC Skills Testing

The CNC Test Device is designed to screen and train for CNC setup operators with production responsibilities. The devise provides a means of quantitatively screening for CNC operator setup positions, for use in evaluating job applicants, and as a grading device for training purposes.

The candidate is given assessment instructions, a job setup sheet, and is given an opportunity to familiarize himself/herself with the CNC machine. The assessment identifies and measures the candidates ability to setup the work holding devise and indicate square, ability to zero out X-Y-&-Z axis, ability to measure and load a tool table for four different cutting tools, ability to use edge finder-flip indicator- height gauge-dial caliper-&-micrometer correctly, ability to read a print and follow setup sheet, manufacture CNC part from machinable wax and verify part has been made correctly to QC inspection sheet.

The CNC Selection-Evaluation Assessment program takes the uncertainty out of the hiring process. No longer will hiring managers need to hope a candidate possesses the skills and experience they represent. The assessment program separates individuals by skill levels, identifying the strongest candidates to drive productivity in your shop.

The process is designed to separate CNC production operators based on the speed and accuracy the candidate completes the set of instructions.
