  Anderson Precision is a manufacturing group in Jamestown, NY. Turned by automatic screw machines, Anderson Precision makes metal parts for the automotive industry, including push-to-connect cartridge fittings, as well as firearm components, consumer appliances, and other small electric motor applications. ISO 9000:2001 & ISO/TS 16949 certified. Process Engineer duties and objectives are geared toward manufacturing support through process improvement, development, and daily troubleshooting on-the-fly. Custom automatic machining and inspection instruments are designed and fabricated for in-house production and quality assurance purposes. These instruments comprise of computer vision sensors for non-contact detection techniques, light sensors at I/R, near-VIS, and VIS wavelength ranges, motion sensors, and micro controllers. They are energized pneumatically, hydraulically, and electrically. Regular procedural modifications and adaptations are made to fulfill process data collection requirements for continuous improvement in statistical process control and loss reduction efforts.

  • Nov 2008 - Sep 2012

  RHI-Monofrax creates custom refractory blocks, produced for large industrial furnace construction, reconstruction, and repair. Customers are served on a global scale, and most commonly represent the glass manufacturing industry (float glass, container glass, display glass). Certain applications in steel, paper, and nuclear processes are served as well, but to a much lesser degree. Here, the task of product loss reduction is most commonly confronted by process engineers as the driving force behind improvements in overall manufacturing efficiencies. Show less
