Metal Fastener Cold Forming Lead (Multi-Station)

Ready to Lead Multi-Die Precision?

Do you thrive where speed meets accuracy? Can you turn a drawing into a dead-on setup and keep multiple assets humming? At Phoenix Stamping—serving North America from Atlanta, Fort Wayne, and Fort Worth since 1986—we invest in advanced automation and put people first. Our promise: Customers first, employees always!

Imagine This

It’s your shift—any shift—and you’re running a 10-hour day Monday–Thursday. You start by validating specs from job travelers and blueprints. You set up multi-die progressive headers, hit cycle, and check first-offs. When a dimension drifts, you diagnose, tweak, and get the line back in tolerance. If demand spikes, Friday becomes an 8-hour overtime push—and your area still meets output, quality, and safety commitments.

Your Mission

• Translate travelers and part prints into precise setups, tooling, and process parameters.
• Operate cold heading machines to produce parts within drawing tolerances.
• Troubleshoot out-of-spec conditions and adjust processes to correct.
• Own production goals across several assets in your work area.
• Meet quality and rework targets through vigilant in-process inspections to all specs.
• Maintain tooling inventory; trigger reorders to prevent downtime.
• Document everything: downtime, scrap, and yield—accurately and on time.
• Perform routine PM and keep machines reliable.
• Keep a 6S workspace; follow plant safety standards without exception.
• Honor environmental rules; study MSDS and follow oil/chemical labeling and storage.
• Offer continuous improvement ideas regularly.
• Carry out tooling maintenance/modifications and other related duties as needed.
