45 Years manufacturing. 40 years in Quality @Honeywell. 29 years Gage Engineering @Honeywell.Gage Engineering scope: Concept, design, procure, and qualify gauges for checking dimensional, force, and torque measurement of product requirements. Gage applications include: closed loop automation based on encoder, force, torque, or optical sensors; attribute functional hard gauges, variables data gauges, and optical inspection methods. Interface automation employs aerotech, galil, and pc based labview & matlab. Automation gauges include non-contact laser probing, capacitance, inductance, and conventional mechanical contact. Components used include sub-micron air bearings and encoders, precision stages, latest alloys and fabrication techniques.
