• Tool Gauge & Machine Works

  2015-2016 | Aerospace/Energy Quality Inspector

  Company primarily fabricates parts and assemblies for aircraft no longer being produced. Most often small quantity, first run, non-repeating orders. The company also produced injection molds for the plastic division across the street. Roughly half the time was spent performing first article AS9102 inspections and logging them into either “Discus” software or the “Net-Inspect” web service. Half the remaining time was spent operating/programming a medium sized bridge-type CMM running PC-DMIS metrology software, with the remainder of the time spent on rock layout. We were kept busy with our primary duties described above, two inspectors covering 20 machinists, this occupied 100% of our time. I resigned primarily over the commute, along with concern over tradeoffs made for throughput. • Dimensional inspection and test of products per documented specifications using precision metrology tools / testing instrumentation • Utilized 2D engineering picture sheets, including GD&T requirements per ASME Y14.5. Also utilized 1:1 Mylar PCM transparencies • Occasionally utilized 3D CATIA models to determine part requirements, along with REDARS supplier portal for 2D prints. • Performed machining first-part verification, first-article validation, pre-process lot inspection, processing verification, assembly verification/test, part-marking inspection, and pre-delivery final inspection • Programed/operated 2 Brown & Sharpe bridge-type coordinate measuring machines, both fitted with Renishaw PH10MQ indexing probe heads.
