Honeywell Process Solutions

• Automation Machinery Manufacturing
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Mechanical Engineering Intern

  • Nov 2010 - Jun 2011

  I participated in process management and designed tooling for a high speed automated production line. I designed parts in AutoCAD mechanical, and AutoCAD Inventor. I oversaw the process to submit the new designs to vendor for creation and the implementation of the design into the process. Our team implemented a quick-change system to run several different sizes of the same type of product through an assembly line. I worked with automated testers and machining equipment to create and test prototypes prior to submission for build, installation and implementation. Assisted in designing a turret system for a robot that would pick up bottom assemblies and stack them in a chute to be assembled to the upper can. Was successful in designing a cylinder spacer that would flip assemblies from vertical to horizontal position using back pressure to drop onto silent chain conveyor at proper intervals. Stacking was not an option on the silent chain to prevent jamming in the turret system. The achieved goal was that tooling would be changeable within a 30-minute change over time.
