Job Description:

• 1) Controls temperature of bushings and speed of winders on fiberglass forming machines to maintain specified yardage per pound in sliver: Monitors bushing control panels, temperature charts, and indicators to determine if temperature of furnace bushings, molten glass over bushings, forehearths, and canals meet specifications.

• 2) Obtains test skein of sliver from TEST-SKEIN WINDER and dries skein for specified time in electric furnace.

• 3) Weighs dried test skein to obtain weight in grams and converts weight to yards per pound to determine deviations from specifications, using yardage conversion chart.

• 4) Turns digital dial on bushing control panel to regulate temperature of bushings.

• 5) Tests voltage on compensator units that vary speed of collets, using voltage meter.

• 6) Determines bushing temperature specified for voltage reading from table and turns button to set temperature and regulate speed of collet.

• 7) Records data, such as shift, crew, date, time of temperature reading, time of yardage reading, type of sliver produced, temperatures, and adjustments made, in yardage control log.
