Web Techniques, Inc.; Fenton, MO 2001 – 2005

Project Engineer

This company manufactures rewind equipment for the web fed printing and packaging industry. Here I worked in new product development designing new equipment and upgrading existing equipment. I also designed equipment and managed projects for customers with special product applications. I helped this company convert from standard 2D CAD design and detailing to 3D parametric design and detailing. This company chose to use all Autodesk products for this transition. I also helped this company set up an engineering document management system to keep track historically of projects. My main function was mechanical design however I also helped convert their equipment from circuit board relay controls to PLC and servo controls. Some of the projects I worked on for web techniques were ink jet and thermal transfer printing capabilities for existing equipment, dual spindle driven rewind machine, and label inspection capabilities of existing equipment using various vision systems.
