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?
Senior Quality Technician. Currently working for a medical device OEM. We make automated equipment that a microbiologist would use to find and identify bacteria in blood, food and drugs. One of our divisions makes a machine that test for Covid. Low volume, High mix of parts.
Previously worked for a machine tool maker. Most of what I did was write programs for capability studies for the parts our customers wanted to run on our machines.
Before that I worked for a air conditioner compressor maker. High volume, Low mix.
Low volume, High mix places always keep you on your toes. Don't have much opportunity to really refine your programs the way you'd like to. On the other hand there is something new coming in all the time.
High volume, Low mix places let you really refine your programs. Eventually they become pretty much bullet proof. You see all the ways that things can screw up and develop countermeasures. Of course once you get there, it gets kind of boring.
