MISSION:
To visually and dimensionally inspect castings to assure compliance to customer specifications and to assure that only necessary reworking of parts is performed.
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES:
1. Visual Inspection.
Objective: to identify surface defects in castings.
Typical Activities:
* Reviews tech cards and lot numbers.
* Fixtures some parts and leaves others freestanding.
* Visually inspects castings after preliminary heat treating and after final heat treat.
* Uses a variety of hand tools to assist in visual inspection.
2. Dimensional Measurement.
Objective: to assure dimensional integrity.
Typical Activities:
* Inspects castings and fixtures for conformance to blueprint and tech card specifications using templates, micrometers, height gauges, calipers, ultrasound and other dimensional measuring devices.
* Checks casting hardness per heat treat specifications using Brinell, Rockwell and other instruments.
* Marks castings to identify areas needing rework in order to meet dimensional specifications.
* Works regularly with Straightening, Salvage, and Targeting areas.
3. Engineering Support.
Objective: to work with and prepare reports for use by engineering in addressing product quality issues.
Typical Activities:
* Works with engineering to establish and evaluate inspection techniques.
* Works with engineering to identify and resolve problems of non-conformance to specifications.
* Enters dimensional data into computer for engineering purposes (not at LSBO).
* Prepares reports and information on dimensional issues as needed.
4. Safety.
Objective: to take responsibility for and demonstrate safe work practices.
Typical Activities:
* Adheres to plant and department safety rules.
* Safely operates all equipment and tools.
* Identifies and reports safety problems.
5. Completes a variety of logs and records.
6. Provides training and work direction to others as directed.
7. Performs other tasks as assigned.
TRAINING:
* Training is provided on the job.
* Visual/Dimensional Inspection Courses and Certification.
* Ultrasound Course as directed.
ENTRY QUALIFICATIONS:
* Visual and dimensional inspection skills to use precision measuring inspection tools as demonstrated by classroom training and/or work experience; completion of Visual/Dimensional course at time of hire preferred.
* Ability to read, interpret and follow specifications on Tech Cards and other technical material, to write and to perform arithmetic calculations.
* Ability to perform dimensional inspection applying proper techniques.
* Ability to read precision hand tools.
* 20/30 correctable vision, and satisfactory passage of depth perception and color vision tests.
* Ability to provide work direction and training, and to communicate effectively.
* Ability to work independently.
* Ability to lift and/or maneuver objects weighing thirty to fifty pounds and occasionally up to eighty pounds.
* Ability to work in difficult working conditions which may include exposure to noise, dust, chemicals, and awkward physical positions for extended periods of time.
