Mechanical Engineer 3

Developed MQL ( minimum quantity lubrication) option for the Haas vertical milling machines.

Successfully built a $250K gantry milling machine and documented needed design changes and improvements.

Consolidated electrical connection plates and reduced their cost by simplifying the design and using a lower cost finish, while ensuring a uniform appearance. $80K is being saved annually.

Redesigned amplifier busbars to eliminate waste by bending the material from straight strips instead of bending from complex geometry, resulting in $5k annual savings.

Saved $3K annually and increased efficiencies around buying, installing and inventory requirements by consolidating 12 rubber cable management clamps to 2.

Successfully used Solidworks FEA to redesign and stiffen a large cast column for the EC-1600 milling machine.

Redesigned sheet metal safety enclosures for the tool room, small and medium line of vertical milling machines.

Engineered a reliable and innovative automatic door system prototype for the International Manufacturing Technology Show held in Chicago. This product was developed to keep cost under $100; most “off the shelf” systems are $300+. This design used a small pneumatic cylinder and windshield wiper motor in a unique way.

Increased inventory tracking accuracy and assembly line morale by eliminating wasted time and effort disassembling and rebuilding sub assembly parts.

$5K annual savings achieved by simplifying the high-pressure service coolant kits. This was accomplished by thorough research and understanding the scope of the project. Discovered only a small sub assembly would meet the needs of the customers. 20 kits were reduced to 1 and the customer does not need to replace undamaged parts.

Designed a low cost milling machine for a new product line. One aspect of reducing the cost was designing the base as a “cope and drag” casting with no cores and machining. It is a 1 set up operation on a 3 axis machine.

Took the initiative to quickly train and accustom newly hired engineers with the company’s software and protocols.
