CurrentProject: Design systems and tools for assembly lines to reduce assembly manufacturing time.- Performed time study on assembly lines and found manual socket and bolt insertion to be most time consuming.- Designed socket and bolt insertion tool using SOLIDWORKS.- Created tool by taking negative print of socket and bolt component CAD files and adding a ¼ x 20 drill hole.- Checked part dimensions and compatibility by using SOLIDWORKS assembly feature. - 3D printed tool and added… Show more Project: Design systems and tools for assembly lines to reduce assembly manufacturing time.- Performed time study on assembly lines and found manual socket and bolt insertion to be most time consuming.- Designed socket and bolt insertion tool using SOLIDWORKS.- Created tool by taking negative print of socket and bolt component CAD files and adding a ¼ x 20 drill hole.- Checked part dimensions and compatibility by using SOLIDWORKS assembly feature. - 3D printed tool and added tool location on assembly line. - Updated end item floor docs and added socket and bolt insertion tool assembly instructions.Result: Reduced manufacturing time on assembly line.Project: Performed Corrective Actions Testing to determine if thermal compound can be eliminated, resulting in cost savings. - Analyzed CAD files to determine thermal “hot spots.” - Built 8 lamps without gluing lens, 4 with thermal compound and 4 without. - Checked engineering drawing to determine light function of each wire in wire harness.- Connected “red” cable into negative terminal and “yellow” cable into positive terminal in National Instruments DAQ.- Ensured ambient temperatures were the same and logged and analyzed temperature data using National Instruments Software.- Logged data and composed graph to display temperature difference between lamps with thermal compound and those without. - Documented steps as well as start and stop times for future testing. Result: Eliminated use of thermal compound increasing assembly efficiency and lowering manufacturing cost. Show less
