Special Machine Tool Design Engineer: AutoCad 2020 & SolidWorks 2018 with PDM.

Experiences designing high precision high production powertrain equipment: large dial machines, assembly equipment, pallet type machines, crankshaft machines, lift and carry machines, (3) position transfer machines, free transfer machines, slant beds, Vertical (2) Spindle (3 & 5 axis) lathe machines, camshafts, deep hole gun drilling, engine test stands, transmission leak test equipment, power-wrench assemblies, and EOA tooling for Robots & high precision (ABEC 7) spindles with optional drawbars and thru coolant.

Over 30 years experience project management and designing and re-tooling work holding fixtures for cylinder heads, axels, engine blocks, transmission cases, crankshafts, camshafts, bearing blocks, connecting rods, intake and exhaust manifolds, differentials. Experienced for selecting thrust & radial bearings, sizing gears (spur & helical), servomotors, and hydraulic and pneumatic material handling applications.

Experienced designing fabrications, such as, large modular bases, integral bases, and wing bases, large columns, hydraulic/pneumatic clamping fixtures, and bearing slides. Other design experiences include: transfer bar assemblies, transfer drive assemblies, pallet registries, pallet fixtures, tombstone fixtures, probe assemblies, part orientation assemblies, load/unload assist, angular compound columns with slide assist, tombstone fixtures, modular conveyors, special bases using aluminum extrusions. I designed way type slides and guide bar assemblies. Many years designing gear trains for multi-spindle boring and drill heads, tap heads, and milling heads. My expertise is designing spindle drives using Fanuc servomotors.

20 years Tooling Supervisor/Project Engineering experienced. Responsibilities include; engineering meetings, controls line-ups, customer approval meetings, attended meetings for continuous improvement process, validate designs meet customer specifications, controlling time cycles, designs meet company standards, on time and within company budget. I directed in-house and outside design vendors with new product lines. Experience also includes liaison between manufacturing and engineering departments.

Created Tool Designs, such as: milling cutters with index-able inserts, rotary cutting tools, perishable tooling, conventional type tooling and quick-change tooling, adapters, 3 jaw chucks, and all servomotors. Made trips to customer plants such as; GM Tonawanda, Detroit Diesel, Cummins, and GM Flint Engine Plant, GM Flint Motors, Pontiac Motors, Massey Ferguson and Chrysler.
