Dimensional Evaluator LPC LMA

Mission:

To identify and correct visual / dimensional flaws in castings to insure the final product meets customer specifications. Based on business needs, may be required to perform the functions of visual / dimensional inspection and straightening (along with their associated tasks i.e. hardness testing, UTT, targeting, CMM evaluation/disposition etc.) as defined on PCC Technique Cards, blueprints and other documentation.

The aim of this description is to recognize multi-skilled work which facilitates the flow of parts. Instead the multiple tasks are performed on the parts by a single employee. Each employee is expected to apply an average of 20 percent of their total hours worked, performing on one or more secondary functions in addition to a primary “core” function.

• If your primary “core function” is visual dimensional inspection, then the secondary function of straightening must be performed a minimum of 20% of the time.
• If your primary “core function” is straightening, then the secondary function of visual dimensional inspection must be performed a minimum of 20% of the time.

• Visual / Dimensional Inspection

Objective: to visually and dimensionally inspect castings in accordance with customer specifications and to ensure that only necessary rework is performed.

• Follows Quality Systems and Technique Card requirements.
• Fixtures some parts and leaves others freestanding.
• Visually inspects castings as required.
• Dimensionally inspects castings for conformance to blueprint and Technique Card specifications using templates, micrometers, fixtures, gauges, calipers, ultrasound, boroscope and other dimensional measuring devices.
• Checks casting hardness using Brinell, Rockwell and other instruments.
• Marks castings to identify area needing rework, mill rates, etc. in order to meet dimensional and visual specifications.
• Adjusts fixtures, gauges and precision measuring tools to calibrated standards.
• Interprets CMM reports and performs other visual / dimensional functions as required to move part through production process. Works from established rest points for targeting.
• Straightening

Objective: to straighten castings to meet dimensional tolerances and customer specifications.

• Sets up castings on surface plates or fixtures.
• Evaluates the condition of parts using precision measuring tools, or CMM reports; determines the most effective method of straightening castings.
• Establishes datums to casting surfaces and fixtures on surface plates; straightens to a rotational tolerance.
• Straightens casting to the required configuration using a variety of tools and devices, including presses, straightening fixtures, profile templates, and power or manual tools.
• Casting Repair and Analysis
• Make recommendations to resolve part non-conformity. May work in other disciplines to resolve quality issues.
• Performs other tasks as directed including blending of defect areas.
• Makes recommendation for part routing as required.
• Documentation
• Completes and maintains a variety of records, logs and non-conformance reports and production reports as required.
• Safety

Objective: to take responsibility for and demonstrate safe work practices.

• Adheres to plant and department safety rules.
• Safely operates all equipment and tools.
• Identifies and reports safety problems.
• Performs other duties as assigned.

• Hoist
• 2 Pallet jacks
• Dimensional measuring tools (e.g. calipers, micrometers, gauges)
• Templates
• Basic hand tools (hammers, wrenches, etc.)
• Fabricated blocks
• Hand grinders
• Porta-power (hydraulic ram)
• Band saws
• Light meter
• Fixtures
• Surface plates
• Protective equipment/clothing
• Profilometer
