In my current role, I ensure the peak performance and safety compliance of dies, fixtures, and cutting tools through meticulous evaluation and maintenance. This includes ongoing monitoring of tool performance, diagnosing any issues that arise, and collaborating with external vendors as needed for repairs. Implementing proactive maintenance schedules is essential to reduce downtime and maintain high production efficiency.

This role involves constructing pre-punch, hydrex cutoff, and rotary dies, along with servicing, sharpening, maintaining, and enhancing existing dies. It includes fabricating replacement parts for dies, troubleshooting them in presses, and installing and testing dies on new machinery. Additionally, verifying dimensions, alignments, and clearances of finished parts against specifications using tools like test indicators, height gauges, gauge blocks, micrometers, and calipers is crucial.

I specialize in progressive and transfer die design, prioritizing functionality and safety. With a focus on improving processes and reducing costs, I bring extensive expertise in die modification, engineering change, maintenance, and repair. Proficient in multiple CAD software and skilled in 3D parametric modeling and stress-strain analysis, I excel in blueprint interpretation, precision measurement, and GD&T application. My background includes proficiency in CNC, Wire EDM, Sink EDM, CMM, and… Show more I specialize in progressive and transfer die design, prioritizing functionality and safety.
