Hydraulics & Pneumatics Technician
Your morning begins on the shop floor of a automotive press plant, diagnosing a 200-tonne hydraulic press that's producing inconsistent clamping force — tracing the fault to a worn-out proportional pressure control valve using a hydraulic test bench. Afternoons are spent replacing pneumatic actuator seals on a robotic welding line, calibrating pressure gauges, and updating the preventive maintenance schedule for 35 hydraulic systems across the plant.
