Dimensional Evaluator LPCT

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.

NOTE:

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.

Examples:

1. 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.

2. 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.

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

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

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

• A. Sets up castings on surface plates or fixtures.
• B. Evaluates the condition of parts using precision measuring tools, or CMM reports; determines the most effective method of straightening castings.
• C. Establishes datums to casting surfaces and fixtures on surface plates; straightens to a rotational tolerance.
• D. Straightens casting to the required configuration using a variety of tools and devices, including presses, straightening fixtures, profile templates, and power or manual tools.

• A. Make recommendations to resolve part non-conformity. May work in other disciplines to resolve quality issues.
• B. Performs other tasks as directed including blending of defect areas.
• C. Makes recommendation for part routing as required.

• A. Completes and maintains a variety of records, logs and non-conformance reports and production reports as required.

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

• A. Adheres to plant and department safety rules.
• B. Safely operates all equipment and tools.
• C. Identifies and reports safety problems.
