ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
New part development for In house Lift axle suspension system,clearance and package study with vehicle integration,Propeller shaft, Drive axle and frame to meet the requirements. Design calculation on load distribution for each axle, specifically to air suspended axle. Detail study on axle lift height in various scenarios like Laden, Unladen, Bound and Re-bound conditions.
Detail DMU packaging study on Load sensing valve assembly in turnable condition with other inter dependent sub-systems such as brake actuator,wheel, shock absorbers etc. Interacting with (MED, CTL lab, Protoshop, CAE and vehicle testing) for stage release audit. Study and benchmark of axle parts and assembly from various competitors. Problem solving on parts placement based on other team requirements. Implementation of GD & T in 2D drawing to control accuracy. Calculation of stack up for cumulative effect on tolerance. Weight calculation for various structural and valves to optimize the total vehicle weight. Control logic circuit for pneumatic control of air suspension and Lift axle. Load sensing valve linkage study to control the axle in Laden, Unladen, Bound and Re-bound conditions.
Computational failure report closure for Lift axle air spring and steering damper. Assist my team on DFMEA study on in house Lift axle component to track and improve the product.
Logic development and proposal made with supplier to achieve various application such as fuel efficiency, Tire wear, reduction of steering effort etc. DATE :
