Modern technologies of any human production activity are unthinkable without the use of various instrumentation, sensors for various purposes, relays and others devices of automated control systems production processes. For maintenance, adjustment and repair of this equipment there is a special service, the main working link of which includes a position called an instrumentation mechanic. Large enterprises have several such specialists with different skill levels.

Requirements for specialists

Gone are the days when a person “from the street” was hired as a mechanic for pressure gauges, thermometers and other simple instruments at enterprises that did not have particularly sophisticated technologies. An instrument worker was called an instrumentation mechanic, and sometimes simply an “instrument operator.”

Now the requirements for specialists in this profession have increased, since even many small enterprises are equipped not only with ordinary direct-acting instruments, but also with automatic measuring instruments, digital equipment that have regulatory and protective functions as part of the entire technological process. Calling the locksmith profession the abbreviation “KIP” (instrument mechanic) is no longer relevant.

A modern specialist must understand automation and be able to troubleshoot. The letter “A” appeared in the abbreviation of the mechanic’s position: instrumentation and automation. The correct position began to sound like this: instrumentation and automation mechanic.

Therefore, trained applicants who have graduated from a secondary vocational institution are accepted for the position of mechanic in a service dealing with instruments and automatic processes. initial (vocational school) or advanced (college) levels specialty or even persons with higher technical education.

But it’s worth taking a closer look at who a Kipovets is and what kind of profession it is.

Skill Levels

Depending on the knowledge and experience of workers, there are 8 categories for locksmiths. The lowest rank is first, and the highest is eighth. To move from a lower to a higher grade level, you must acquire good work experience at the previous level and pass the necessary exams qualification commission enterprises.

All mechanics, regardless of qualifications, belong to the category of workers and are performers. The only difference is their responsibilities according to job descriptions. For such a profession it is difficult to create a standard job description, since the area the knowledge of Kipovites directly depends depending on the company they work at. But they must have knowledge of physics, electrical engineering, metallurgy, drawing, principles of design and operation of measuring instruments and automation systems of various types in any case.

The approximate amount of knowledge and responsibilities of an instrumentation mechanic by category can be presented in a list. But it should be remembered that each enterprise can make its own specific adjustments to them.

The list begins with the characteristics of a second-class worker, since applicants who graduate from educational institutions are accepted immediately for the position of second-class mechanic. But such a qualification will be assigned only after the employee has completed the mandatory internship period accepted at the enterprise, passed the full exams for the position and responsible duplication in the workplace. Only after positive completion of all stages of training new specialist allowed to work independently.

All this applies to any certification of an employee for a higher job qualification. In some industries, after the responsible duplication of an instrumentation mechanic, they introduce another exam in the training of a specialist - emergency training. That is, the applicant for the position is subjected to a test on the practical application of the acquired knowledge in certain emergency production situations as part of the new qualification.

Qualification requirements:

The sixth category gives the mechanic the right to repair experimental and unique equipment, including in the field of projection systems, optics, and direction finding. Such specialists are in demand in nuclear and thermal energy, thermal automation, as they are well acquainted with radioactive devices, with the installation of radars, direction finders and complex radio stations. Possess knowledge at the level of foremen and shift supervisors and can perform their duties.
Specialists of the highest ranks - seventh and eighth - have knowledge about microprocessor technology systems, know and are able to build various control systems on this basis, understand telemechanics, programmable controllers and electronic computer technology. And, of course, they can not only diagnose problems in complex instrument and hardware systems of this level, but also eliminate them using test and corrective technological programs. Specialists of the eighth category must be able to independently compose such test programs.

Additional qualifications

During preparation for any category, a Kipovets student not only learns his future job in accordance with his duties, but also strictly studies intersectoral labor protection - safety rules - when operating electrical installations, rules for operating consumer electrical installations at the level of II-IV electrical safety groups (up to 1 thousand). volts), rules, regulations and instructions for industrial safety, rules for working with tools, as well as job and production instructions.

Certification is carried out in all these disciplines and the results are recorded in knowledge testing protocols and qualification certificates.

The profession of an instrumentation mechanic is not as simple as it might seem from the name “fitter”. Large amount of required knowledge(electrical engineering, electronics, physics, optics, metrology, radio engineering, fundamentals of instrument engineering, metal science) must be confirmed by the appropriate education, intelligence and good learning ability of the employee.

The average citizen, when he thinks about a locksmith, has an image of a man in bad clothes with large keys and a sledgehammer in his hand.

His work is so hard and dirty that it can never interest an educated boy or girl. A negative attitude was developed using the example of a plumber utilities or a car service worker, who are most often encountered in everyday life. This is due to the fact that many people have no idea what the job of an instrumentation mechanic is.

Field of activity of the specialist

Automation has penetrated into all areas of production and therefore a modern instrumentation mechanic must not only have good skills in his specialty, but also have extensive knowledge in all areas of industry and construction. Situations often arise when device manufacturers do not include instructions or a wiring diagram for the devices.

Every instrumentation mechanic is obliged to always perform high-quality work and in this case they can only help high professional knowledge. His workplace can be in any industry, from a small canteen to a submarine. Maintenance and repair of automatic devices sometimes have to be carried out in a difficult environment far from the main work.

Many today strive to go to the northern regions of the country to make good money. Our people are not afraid of the harsh climate and cold, but it is very difficult to work in such an environment. Modern automation devices made in relatively warm countries do not always withstand frost. Often, in order to launch a control line, it is necessary to completely change the entire design of the devices. And this requires serious knowledge in cybernetics and automation, where it would be almost impossible to do this without an engineer.

A highly qualified specialist with good knowledge of everything related to debugging, launching and monitoring automatic lines must be an engineer with a higher education. He will always be able to easily determine the specific data of measuring instruments and obtain a complete analysis of all control systems. His responsibilities include:

Management of employees of instrumentation and automation departments;
Detailed description of job descriptions and tasks;
Participate in training employees in the latest technologies;
Plan and implement new control and management tools;
Prepare and develop projects technical documentation;
Collect data for the design of new technological processes;
Monitor the qualified operation of all control systems;
Supervise and constantly monitor technical documentation;
Promote the rapid implementation of modern programs in automation.
