Coil Winders, Tapers, and Finishers

Tasks

Core Tasks Include:

• Operate or tend wire-coiling machines to wind wire coils used in electrical components such as resistors and transformers, and in electrical equipment and instruments such as bobbins and generators.
• Review work orders and specifications to determine materials needed and types of parts to be processed.
• Cut, strip, and bend wire leads at ends of coils, using pliers and wire scrapers.
• Select and load materials such as workpieces, objects, and machine parts onto equipment used in coiling processes.
• Record production and operational data on specified forms.
• Attach, alter, and trim materials such as wire, insulation, and coils, using hand tools.
• Stop machines to remove completed components, using hand tools.

Supplemental Tasks Include:

• Examine and test wired electrical components such as motors, armatures, and stators, using measuring devices, and record test results.
• Apply solutions or paints to wired electrical components, using hand tools, and bake components.
• Disassemble and assemble motors, and repair and maintain electrical components and machinery parts, using hand tools.
• Line slots with sheet insulation, and insert coils into slots.
