Motor Assembler - 2nd Shift

Summary

The Motor Associate is responsible for one or more of the following duties in the assembly of motors.

• Motor Assembler:
  Assemble all types of motors by reading and interpreting specification sheets, assembly drawings, outline drawings, and hook‑up drawings. Perform small precision assembly and assembly of large units as required. Fabricate or form parts, coils, or structures according to specifications, using drills, calipers, cutters, or saws. Mark serial identification and maintain traceability records. Use bill of material to pull correct parts for the assembly process.

• Motor Tester:
  Perform all required mechanical and electrical tests per IM, Test Procedure, and Motor Test Procedure. Abide by all safety regulations in testing procedures. Operate all test equipment including Goldline auto tester, MATS test station, and back drive station. Complete proper Quality Systems Procedure test data sheet. Ensure motors meet all test requirements.

• Spray Painter:
  Clean parts to be painted such as motor assemblies, generators, housings, end bells, and related items to ensure all parts are free of dirt, grease, oil, and film. Mask all areas to be left unpainted using correct procedures; methods include masking tape, masking plugs, or shield masking. Mix epoxy, lacquer, enamel using proper thinners and reducers. Use correct mist spray for proper coverage and minimum overspray.
  
  Familiar with procedures for degreasing and cleaning for re‑work or customer returned parts or motors. Change filters in spray booths to control emission of overspray. Maintain current paint inventory.

• Winder:
  Gather correct wire per winding data sheet. Maintain wire, lamination and insulator inventory using Kanban. Insulate lamination stack, load parts, and run corresponding programs in winding machine. Unload parts and perform resistance and other specified tests to determine if armature is ready for next process. May perform fixture changes and adjustments to machine parameters such as speed and wire tension as required.
  
  May perform other armature manufacturing processes such as crimping, soldering, varnishing, pressing as required. Run machine wind in a high volume/low mix products.

• Machine Winder:
  Gather correct wire per winding data sheet. Set up winding machine to perform the winding of stator. Perform the resistance test to determine if stator is ready for connection. For brushless units, units may be machine or hand wound. May also perform a crimping operation, sensor setting, sensor assembly, varnish, polish and coat, press and armature inspection. Various types of stators such as Goldline and XT will be wound.
  
  Maintain wire and/or lamination inventory through Kanban.

• Encapsulation:
  Duties include skewing and motor encapsulation; varnish (dip and bake); sub‑assembly of motor components, patch, press windings, pre‑test armatures, and cleaning after encapsulation and varnish. All operations performed per established procedures and router instructions.

• Rotor Assembler:
  Assemble all rotors by reading and interpreting blueprints and checking dimensions with appropriate measuring tooling. Fabricate or form parts, coils or structures according to specifications, using drills, calipers, cutters or saws. Pull correct parts and maintain control of inventory. Includes turning and balancing.

• Core Processing:
  Bonding and stacking laminations, sandblasting and deburring cores, fluidized bed coating, and spray painting of cores. Use, read and interpret drawings, shop travelers, calipers and micrometers, as well as applicable gauges and fixtures, paint booth, sandblast, file, sander, ovens, and buffer. Must be trained for packing RCRA hazardous waste in DOT‑approved containers prior to shipment. OSHA/EPA/DOT training regarding hazardous materials building.

• Magnet Processing:
  Perform all necessary operations for the mechanical and electrical strength characteristics of yoke‑ring sub‑assemblies. Operations include cleaning and deburring, bonding, banding, balancing, and spray painting of field assemblies. Follow shop travelers and prescribed procedures. Use of calipers, micrometers, gauges and…
