Mechanical assembly mechanic: features of the profession. What does a toolmaker do?

The faucet at home is leaking. “We need to call a locksmith!” - says mom. The bike broke down. “We need to take it to the locksmith,” says dad. What kind of jack of all trades is this? This is an old profession. A mechanic works with metal. A metallurgist smelts metal. A blacksmith makes nails, horseshoes and other things from heated metal.

A locksmith works with cold metal, which is very strong and hard. To deal with metal, a mechanic has special tools, for example: hammer and chisel.

He put the sharp end of a chisel to the metal, hit the other end with a hammer - he chopped off a piece of metal! You can cut off the desired piece of metal with a special hacksaw. This saw has very sharp teeth and is made of durable metal. A mechanic has a drill with a drill and a cunning tool for work - a tap. A tap is used to cut a thread in the hole so that the screw can then be screwed in. The mechanic screws in the screws with screwdrivers, but for the bolts and nuts he has wrench. Files help the craftsman to make the surface of the metal completely smooth. To make all parts exactly to size, the mechanic uses special measuring tools. They have very difficult names: calipers and vernier calipers.

A mechanic repairman is a very common profession. But, since these specialists are required for various types production, there is a narrow specialization of mechanics, whose training is carried out specifically for the industry where they will work. A repairman is engaged in installation, adjustment, adjustment and diagnostics of mechanisms.

A mechanic makes new things from metal and repairs old ones! Many schools have locksmith workshops where students are introduced to locksmith tools, and they can also work with them in the school workshop!

HISTORY OF THE PROFESSION FITTER: The profession of a mechanic dates back to the moment when humanity began to invent machines and mechanisms, when specialists were needed to assemble, maintain and repair them. The first mention of metalworking was in 1463 in the Vienna archives, and in 1545 a metalworking workshop was formed in Germany. The name of the profession comes from German word "schlos"- lock. Schlossers were the name given to the craftsmen who made locks.

In almost all spheres of life today we are surrounded by a variety of devices, devices and machines. In other words, technology has firmly entered our lives, and without it we can no longer imagine our existence. After all, as soon as something breaks (for example, a faucet in the kitchen leaks, a car breaks down, the supply of water, gas and electricity stops, ovens in a bakery or complex equipment in a chemical plant break down), and we will lose our usual comfort or, God forbid, God, we will be exposed to the threat of a man-made disaster. From this we can conclude: all equipment should work like a clock. And who monitors this and comes to the rescue if necessary? Of course, repairman.

Note that very often the name of this profession is mentioned in an ironic context. “If you don’t study, you’ll become a mechanic,” caring mothers say to their careless offspring. “He expresses himself like a locksmith,” you can hear from glamorous girls. But they don’t even realize that we are all much more dependent on representatives of this profession than he is on us. Therefore, the work of a repairman can easily be called one of the most important and necessary in the modern world.

As you already understand, contrary to popular belief, this profession is not something shameful, and therefore it can be considered as a worthy, and it must be said, quite a decent source of income. What else is hidden behind the unpresentable “appearance” repairman profession? You will learn this from our article, in which we tried to describe all its features in as much detail as possible.

What is a repairman?

A repairman is a representative of a working profession who specializes in repairs production equipment, used to support domestic needs and industrial and technical processes. There are repairmen at any enterprise: both in small offices like housing offices, and in huge factories, where, as a rule, there are special workshops or services.

The name of the profession is of international origin: the first word comes from the German schlosser (locker), and the second from the French remonte (replacement, back). Based on this, we can conclude that the first locksmiths brought broken locks back to life. By the way, it appeared specialty of a repairman in Austria in the middle of the 15th century (in any case, the first mentions of it, which were discovered in the Viennese archives, date back to 1463). In Russia, the most famous repairman is Lefty from the story of the same name by Nikolai Leskov, who managed not only to repair, but also to shoe a steel flea.

Modern locksmiths have long gone beyond repairing only locks. Today there is great amount narrow specializations of this profession, which depend on what mechanisms the mechanic repairs. In particular, there are mechanics for repairing chemical, mining, mechanical engineering, etc. equipment, there are plumbers, tool makers, car mechanics, general mechanics and the like. The specialization that stands out is that of a fitter. This is due to the fact that the functions of such specialists are somewhat different from repair work. More specifically, they do not so much repair as they assemble mechanisms and debug them to achieve maximum operating efficiency.

But regardless of specialization, the professional responsibilities of any repairman necessarily include the main types of metalwork: assembly, marking, restoration or replacement of mechanisms, cutting, filing and bending of metal, threading, lapping, scraping, etc.

What personal qualities should a repairman have?

The work of a repairman cannot be called physically difficult. However, as paradoxical as it may sound, it can be classified as a creative profession. Therefore, representatives of this profession should not only be distinguished by their love of technology and mechanisms, but also have such personal qualities, How:

Moreover, contrary to popular belief, locksmith- a repairman must know a lot. He should be able to easily navigate:

• properties of metals and materials from which devices and mechanisms are made,
• the structure and operating principles of the equipment being repaired,
• the laws of mechanics and physics, according to which everything that a mechanic encounters comes into play,
• repair technology and safety precautions during its implementation,
• technologies for starting up equipment and debugging it after assembly or repair.

The professional skills of a repairman must be no less extensive. In particular, he must be able to read diagrams and drawings, determine the causes of failure, identify components and parts that have failed and led to a failure of operation, and also promptly identify areas at risk in order to prevent breakdown of the mechanism.

Advantages of being a repairman

Since technology is constantly being improved, and machines and mechanisms have long become an indispensable part of our lives, modern market labor there is an increasingly acute shortage of highly qualified mechanics and repairmen. And this is the main point advantage of being a repairman, since a certified specialist in the repair of a wide variety of mechanisms and devices can easily find a job. Moreover, he can count on more than decent wages(the average monthly salary of repairmen in Russia is 35-40 thousand rubles).

The peculiarities of the profession are such that the master has to use a huge number of the most different instruments. Thanks to this, representatives of this specialty can safely be called jacks of all trades. The profession develops very useful qualities in a repairman: attentiveness, knowledge of technology, the ability to understand any mechanism, device or apparatus. It is especially pleasant that this knowledge can become an additional source of income for the family, because equipment is available in any home or small office, and a repairman can always earn extra money.

Disadvantages of being a repairman

Disadvantages of being a repairman associated primarily with irregular working hours. After all, if there is a breakdown of equipment on which the entire manufacturing process, then the mechanic has to work almost day and night, forgetting about the lunch break, weekends and the fact that work time it's long over.

Wherein professional activity Being a repairman almost always means working in the dirt (in the literal sense of the word). That is why most of us invariably associate a representative of this profession with a person in dirty clothes, which are stained either with fuel oil or machine oil, or sewage.

It must also be said that this profession requires special patience and attention, which not everyone has. Agree that without irritation, only those who sincerely love their work are capable of assembling and disassembling the same mechanism several times, trying to “get to the bottom” of the cause of the problem. In other words, the work of a repairman can be quite monotonous and monotonous, and therefore it is not suitable for impatient people.

Where can you get a job as a repairman?

Get a job as a repairman possible in a specialized college or technical school. The specialty is called “repairman”. Separately, there is training in the specialty of plumber. Note that due to the demand for such specialists in the labor market, such educational establishments are available in every Russian city.

Since the profession of a repairman is primarily associated with practical skills, you can master the basic subtleties of this specialty directly in the process of work. To do this you need to get a job as a student specific enterprise where under the guidance experienced craftsman You will be able to acquire not only the necessary skills, but also valuable work experience.

Of course, a college or technical school diploma, much less an apprenticeship at a company, will not allow you to achieve any significant success in your career. The maximum you can count on is the position of foreman or foreman. But if, after graduating from technical school, you decide to continue your education at a university with a specialty in mechanics, which is close to the profession we are describing, then great professional and career prospects will open up before you.

Good evening to you! I think it’s time to consider the question of what a toolmaker does at a machine-building plant or any other enterprise. There are toolmakers in any more or less large production. That's probably it main question

which worries you since you are reading this article. In this post I will tell you what a toolmaker does and what difficulties he faces when doing his job.

Of course, a toolmaker relates more to the repair personnel who serve. And as the song says, their service is both dangerous and difficult. Although it’s about police officers, locksmiths are also worthy of these words.

What he does, what he does... and actually repairs devices and some types of tools. Yes, exactly a tool, because a tool is not only cutters and drills and so on. There are quite complex tools, both assembly and cutting, that require high qualifications to assemble them.

For example, in our production we use prefabricated broaches that consist of carbide parts that are mounted on a metal rod and set with a certain accuracy, this is where a highly qualified toolmaker comes into play.

What does a toolmaker do depending on his category? There are 8 categories of tool makers in total. And depending on the category, a toolmaker can perform various works

from the simplest to the most complex.

Toolmaker 3-4 categories.

• This specialist... yes, even though the rank is not very high, 4-5 rank as a toolmaker is not bad enough. In general, these are guys who have to quickly grasp everything on the fly. Much, of course, depends on the production where they work. Well, what can they do:
• Assembly and disassembly of not too complex mechanisms.
• Preliminary finishing of details.
• Adjustment of conical surfaces.
• Installation of mandrels and tools on the machine.
• Replacement of device units.

Replacement of lathe chucks of any diameters.

Actually, it’s not possible to describe everything at once because it largely depends on the production where our toolmaker works.

Toolmaker 6-8 categories. Now these guys are aerobatics. These locksmiths work wonders. This is truly true in our production.. They do everything that needs to be adjusted, assembled, sorted, aligned with a certain accuracy, and much more. They can do professionally:

• Iterate complex mechanisms and devices.
• Collect what is not collected
• Repair division and positioning mechanisms.
• Align mandrels with micron precision on the machine.
• Assemble precision cutting tools.
• Adjust and lap mating parts with high precision.
• Repair what cannot be repaired :)

Well, what can I say, in general, the qualifications of a toolmaker do not mean that he good specialist. There are also 7th and 8th category mechanics with crooked hands, and sometimes, on the contrary, 4th category guys do things that will make you shake.

Conclusion.

If you want to understand in more detail what does a toolmaker do?, then you should read about it in ETKS. This is if you didn't know" E long T arifno- TO validation WITH reference book." Everything is described there in boring bureaucratic language, which I try not to write at all in my blog.

I am generally opposed to any kind of cramming and memorization of material. I believe that you must understand the material and try the acquired skills in practice, then you can consider yourself a real .

That's all for me!

I will be glad to see your comments and clicks on the buttons at the bottom of the article.

Bye everyone!

Read my blog! Andrey was with you!
