    Position Functions:

     
    Essential Functions*
    These duties are designated as ADA Essential Functions and must be performed in this job.
    Employee must understand and perform the essential functions of the core feeder & layer position, according to the individual position’s specific job description.
    Core feeding-employee uses foot or hand switch to run load of 4 foot core onto tilt hoist.  Employee feeds in a continuous left to right motion setting the core on belts to run down to the core layer.
    Strip core can require grasping and pulling up to 25 lbs. or more from left to right, requiring twisting of the lower body and bracing of the body. Core feeding is a continuous and repetitive movement.  This job is done for 30 minutes straight.  At that time, employee takes a break and then alternates to core laying position. 
    Core laying- employee is on the receiving end of core (4 foot) coming off the core belt.  It arrives on the right and employee works in a right to left direction.  Employee continuously grabs core pieces and lays them next to each other, forming a continuous core line. Repetitive twisting of the lower body to the left and right
     Employee is slightly bent over to lay core in a constant motion.  Frequent bending and reaching four feet to the other side of the core line to repair defects and remove debris.
    Working surface is approximately 3 feet high and is in constant motion from right to left.  The job also requires pulling down bridges (27” by 48” pieces of veneer).  Employee turns around and grabs a stack (20#-30#) of bridges and places it on the stand that holds them.  Employee uses these pieces as filler for the core line. This is done by pulling a bridge off of the stand with the top of the stack of bridges being 1 to 1 1/2 feet above the shoulder. The core layer shares this responsibility with the patcher and it is required an average of twice per minute. The bridges are also used in the event the feeder runs out of veneer or has an issue with the load they are feeding from. This would require pulling multiple bridges (20-40) within a couple of minutes.   
     The employee also must run the core belts with knee in the photo-eye while bearing most or all body weight on one leg.  This job is done for 30 minutes straight, then employee rotates to feeding position again.
