Community Project
We are in need of 2-3 Controls Engineers with Siemens PLC and Fanuc Robot experience for new equipment build on systems applying glue to the quater glass. These systems include indexing dial tables and Fanuc robots with Atlas Copco dispensing machines. Vass 6 Experience is a Plus.
Mechanical build is currently underway in Birminghan AL and electrical and controls will follow shortly. Install at the plant in TN is slated for 1st week in May.
Some initial programming design work could be done remote, but would need to be on site in AL once the mechanical build nears completion.
Some possible night coverage may be necessary once the installation stage is complete and ramp up support is needed.
typical schedule at the build shop will be 8:30 AM - 5 PM Monday - Friday with some possible Saturday if necessary. Hours and days will most likely increase during installation and final runoff at the plant.
