Electrical Engineer

I am extremely interested and excited about this position and would look forward to talking with you further.

I have worked on Fractional horsepower motors to 400 HP D.C. motors both 440 and 220 VAC motors, almost all makes of D.C. and VFD's. I enjoy improving machinery and making it more productive. I do not like fixing the same problem over and over, I believe it is time better spent to find the root cause and correct it, or at least put it on a serious work list so it may be fixed at the end of the run, next down day or when the part becomes available!

Some of the projects I have completed over the years are

• Removing four OP’s in a door hemming line and combining them into a single final OP. This involved removing three existing Panel Mate HMI’s and programming and installing a new color Panel Mate to control the new Final Op which consisted of a lift-tilt and rotate table. The PLC software was Square-D Symate +. I had to remove several hundred rungs and then reprogram them into the final OP.

• Installing an automated Blank holder on 4-1 draw press, this was prepackaged from a vendor and required a little PLC & HMI editing on my part as well as updating the A-Cad prints. PLC was a A.B. SLC-503, HMI was a A.B. P.V. – 900

• Installing an automated Blank holder on 15-1 draw press, this was prepackaged from a vendor and required a little PLC editing on my part as well as updating the A-Cad prints. PLC was an A.B. SLC-503, No HMI was used.

• Automate Press Line 3. This was done with 2 floor electricians and I rewiring 100% each of the six press’s in three line. This was a six month two part project. The first part was individually wiring each press and installing SLC-504’s with the Dual-Clutch Brake software package as well as the mandatory dual channel safety gating. During the six month period the line was only shut down during the final two weeks of robot installation. Each press was wired while the rest of the line was running using a pass through conveyor in the press being rewired. This was a $2 million project.

• Installing a Mitsubishi VFD on a Bullard to allow it to run as slow as it normally would. I wired and set all parameters.

• Converting a Schiess VTL from relay controls to a Compact-Logix, 100% white sheet programming, full field verification of the existing wiring, and a full set of new A-cad prints. The customer declined a touch screen HMI.

• Converting a A.B. PLC-3 (programmed w/Dos 6200 software & a dedicated CRT with cassette back-up) to a PLC-5 using what was then the new RS-Logix software. This project was especially challenging because at least 8 of the function blocks used in the old software were no longer available in the new software. I, after losing what little hair I had left, figured out how to write around the blocks and so forth while actually improving the functionally ( I still have a copy of this program)

• Converting an old Texas Instruments PLC over to a SLC-503, I was 75% completed when the customer cancelled the project.

I was the last press shop electrical engineer hired by Budd-Thyssen-Krupp (at one time one of the largest automotive stamping plants in North America with 63 major presses ranging from 100” beds to 202” beds as well as numerous punch presses and resistance weld press ops. And this did not include the assembly areas. Site was size was 66 acres). When they took away our weekend overtime I signed up to run a draw press in the press shop on the weekends (This gave me a real hands on feeling for where the takeover and top stop cams were set) and when they reinstated our engineering overtime I did 8 hr on the floor as tech support and 8hr as a press operator.

I was so disgusted with the state of the press prints (or lack of [it wasn't uncommon for me to go up to an electrician trying to troubleshoot using prints from another press because there were non for that press] that I taught myself Auto Cad (I was on nights and had some free time) and press by press field verified all the wiring and put out easily replaceable and update able 11”x17” instead of the 20 year old D size prints we were using! I also did the following. Research and order hard to find parts and upgrade of parts. Convert old plant prints to electronic version. Provide replacement prints to floor personnel. Oversee electrical aspects of major and minor Plant Engineering projects. Assist Electricians and Machinery Repairmen in troubleshooting. Assist Electricians in using laptop to troubleshoot PLC, s. Operate production press’s (coin/punch, progressive & transfer) as needed on the weekends. Emergency Response Team member. Budd Detroit closed 2006! A book "Punching Out" was written about The Budd plant and its closing in 2007.

I was until a few weeks ago working in a production environment as a maintenance mechanic (which meant my boss and I were responsible for EVERYTHING from the roof to welding frames). I have programmed or edited the following PLC’s; SLC-150, All SLC500 series, AB-2, 3, 4 and 5, Compact Logix, Micro Logix, Direct Logic's, and Toyopuc.

I look forward to hearing from you.
