Occupations | Sets up and operates autoclaves and auxiliary equipment to cure and bond metallic and nonmetallic aircraft parts and assemblies according to specifications: Reads and interprets shop orders and authorization documents to determine bonding process specifications. Selects parts and assemblies for simultaneous bonding, based on similarity of processing requirements and autoclave capacity. Arranges jigs and fixtures containing parts and assemblies on bonding racks and positions racks in autoclave, manually or using equipment, such as hoist, forklift, or tow. Inspects general condition of parts and assemblies, examines positioning of parts and assemblies in jigs and fixtures, and verifies that vacuum bag installation conforms to specifications prior to bonding. Connects thermocouples and vacuum lines to fittings on jigs and fixtures and inside autoclave. Adjusts manual controls or enters commands in computerized control panel to regulate and activate autoclave power supply, cooling system, vacuum, heat, and pressure gauges and recorders, and to close interlocking autoclave doors. Monitors instruments, switches, and recorders and listens for warning signals during autoclave operation to ensure conformance to specifications, and modifies or aborts process as required. Maintains manual or computerized autoclave processing records. Operates curing ovens and presses with heated platens [METAL-BONDING PRESS OPERATOR (aircraft mfg.) 553.382-026] to cure and bond parts. Suggests methods or procedures for improved operations to supervision or liaison personnel. Discusses loading, unloading, and operation of autoclaves and auxiliary equipment with other operators and workers to ensure safety of individuals working in and around high-pressure autoclaves. May calibrate autoclave system components. (references) |
| Controls autoclave to preshrink and preset yarn: Pushes racks of yarn inside autoclave and clamps door shut. Regulates time and temperature controls according to written instructions. Presses buttons to start pump that creates vacuum in autoclave chamber and turns valves to admit steam. Observes gauges and pneumatic controller graphs to ascertain that specified pressure, temperature, and vacuum are maintained to ensure conditioning of yarn according to specifications and to prevent collapse of autoclave. Closes valves and starts vacuum pump to remove moisture at end of steaming chamber. Opens door and removes processed yarn from autoclave to storage, using handtruck. Weighs yarn and records amount of yarn processed. May tend machine that automatically draws yarn into autoclave, seals doors, and discharges yarn at end of steaming cycle. (references) | |
| Tends autoclave that steamsets hosiery or knitted garments into permanent shape: Stacks articles on machine trays, smooths wrinkles by hand, and pushes trays into autoclave. Turns thumbscrews to seal machine door and presses buttons to start automatic steaming cycle. Removes steamed articles from autoclave at end of steaming cycle and inserts them into bags for further processing. Trucks bagged articles to storage area. Records number of articles steamed and bagged. (references) | |
| Tends autoclave that sterilizes drug products, containers, supplies, instruments, and equipment: Places articles in autoclave manually or by use of electric hoist. Secures door or lid, turns dials to adjust temperature and pressure, and opens steam valve. Shuts off steam and removes sterilized articles after specified time. Records time and temperature setting and gauge readings. May wrap supplies and instruments in paper or cloth preparatory to sterilizing. (references) | |
