(now ITW Transtech) which designed custom pad printing equipment for a large variety of applications including printing automotive dashboard knobs, Barbie doll faces, graduations on syringes, golf balls, etc.• Developed new concepts and designs for high speed, state of the art, precision parts handling and indexing systems for multicolor, "continuous" rotary printing applications. Mechanical drives with complicated gearing and belt drives were used. Drives were inherent to those used on rotary printing and packaging machinery. The majority of equipment was custom designed, but standard printing equipment was also developed. These precision machines print with a registration accuracy of plus or minus .001 inch. Additional examples of printing applications: Print graduations on outer diameters of medical syringes at rate of 500/minute; print two rows of golf balls two colors and separate balls into respective discharge chutes (balls numbered 1 through 4);Automotive dashboard knobs; taillight lenses; Barbie doll faces; etc,• Led the engineering team in development of several new printing equipment standards, increasing overall sales by approximately 25%.• Developed several custom equipment including large, complex, carousel-type printing machines for decorating plastic Downy bottle necks for Procter and Gamble.• Increased design process productivity 30% by setting up and transitioning the design team from board design to AutoCad. Set up standards and procedures for use on CAD. Show less
