Precision Resources, Shelton, CT 2002 – 2012

Lead Machinist

My initial task was to:

Develop a new technology Grinding machine (Viotto Double-Disc with interpolation and Robotic arm) to the shop.

Establish set-up and production procedures.

Train and support operators on this new machine, results were the production went up from 4000 parts to a consistent 9000 parts a shift after troubleshooting the problems and improving the program on the CNC and the robotic arm.

My next task was also to develop another new machine and job to the shop ( Gardner Double-Disc Grinder), results again were:

The achievement of a process that made us reach the hourly production rate that was set.

And again I was dispatched to improve production process on other machines, also I trained other operators on.

Detecting problems, fixing, setting up and improving their knowledge and skills.

I also was member of the safety committee.

Howmet Corporation Machining, Winsted, CT 1992 – 2002

Sr. Machinist

I began as an operator. Shortly thereafter I learned setting-up and operating grinding, milling and multiple EDM machines. I was elected to participate in training on superabrasive (CBN) machines at EDGETEK MACHINE CORPORATION. Superabrasive (CBN Grinding) machines later became my responsibility in the shop.

Later on, I was tasked with:

Implementing a new generation of CBN Grinding machines (5Axis)

Worked directly with engineering in the development of all facets of machines and process development.

I was involved in process and parameter definition.

Creating a way to minimize set-up.

Implementing part flow. We achieved efficiency and perfect parts, on time, at lower cost.

I was later asked to train and evaluate manufacturing personnel in technical methods.

Reviewing gauges and fixtures plans.

Assist in productivity and throughput and flow in all cells, as required.

Participated in Kaizen events and the Pratt & Whitney ACE program.
