Maximize mining operations' production by designing custom wear part solutions for jaw, cone, and roller crushers. Duties and Responsibilities¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ● Measure OEM parts by hand and with a FARO Focus 3D scanner to develop wear study analyses for redesign ● Generate wear studies given a customer’s operation parameters that depict how a custom OEM redesign could drastically improve part wear life, increase overall tonnage produced, and reduce the number of costly change outs ● Design and make drawings of custom wear parts on SolidWorks and AutoCAD utilizing wear study analyses to identify areas where a redesign can improve a part’s fit, wear life, manufacturability, and plant’s sustainability ● Institute specific manufacturing processes to prevent casting defects and irregularities ● Design a casting’s rigging with process engineers to lower casting variance, reduce manufacturing costs, and eliminate internal stresses that can cause premature part failure ● Forecast a part's associated costs and manufacturing times to develop the preliminary quotes that are used in final pricing¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯Keywords: Design for Manufacturability, Product Development, Project Design, Lean Manufacturing, Reverse Engineering, FEA, Wear Analysis, Project Management, Operations Management, Product Sales
