Hey guys/gals I am wondering how you and your CMM are used. aside from CMM operator, what titles do you carry? many? Engineer? Programmer? Metrologist?
Where I am now, I am a quality technician. My prior job liked to "restructure" everything every time the V.P. of the company read a new trendy management article. I was a quality tech, CMM programmer, quality lab tech, quality technical supervisor, gage/calibration tech, and a few more I cannot remember.
My current place had no quality department prior to a year ago. It was 1 guy with a manual CMM doing it all. I was brought in to get the 2 CMMs they bought up and running and write programs and help with CNC setups. I spend the majority of time in the lab doing setup checks for parts. It also doesn't help that none of the parts have CAD models, some only have old hand drawn prints entirely in fractions.
