Project #1
Project X
Flexiv Robotics
(More pictures coming soon due to confidentiality)
I achieved a unique robotic arm product enabled by delivering an advanced modular test system for product development resulting in unprecedented research and testing capabilities generating real-time post processing analytical data.
Engineered and fabricated 3-D printed total internal reflection fixture with modular adjustment for RPI Camera.
Coded and implemented image processing program with filter & contour detection, distortion & warping calibration, and live image display of test field with area and pixel intensity calculation for enhanced post examination.
Integrated s-type load cell into fixture design with in-line spring for system noise dampening producing live synched force data.
Integrated linear actuator implementing force governed speed control producing absolute control over test force curve
Project #2
Motion Stage
Flexiv Robotics
I completed software & electrical hardware design and implementation for custom two-axis motion machine replacing an outsourced production system with a compact desktop design yielding improved performance and ease-of-use.
I accomplished design and build of electrical two-axis motion machine layout with compact design outlined and integrated cooling, motor drivers, auxiliary power, safety measures, and limit switches controlled through G-Code on I/O FPGA and STEP/IO cards.
I then optimized, configured, and tested the servo-controlled motion machine with Linux software resulting in optimized product fabrication and quality. The design is more compact, energy efficient, and expands lifespan of the product.
Project #3
HMI & PLC Design
Bridgestone Americas
(More pictures coming soon due to confidentiality)
Designed, tested, and implemented improved hardware and software increasing productivity output by 2-4%, provided compliance to OSHA quality and safety standards, and enhanced ease-of-use across software platforms.
Developed main safety program logic and alarm logic for cold feed extruder (CFE) along with additional application of redundant safety inputs such as E-stops, light curtains, area scanners, etc. and 100+ new communication, safety, process, and instrument alarms across field of operation granting higher efficiency and further safety protocols in the work environment.
Redesigned main control logic for CFE and Breakdown Mills incorporating new inputs and outputs such as selector switches, actuators, variable frequency drives (VFD), IO-Links, etc. generating a simplified manufacturing process with improved precision, troubleshooting abilities and increased operation data to be analyzed and incorporated into optimization technique.
Constructed, programmed, tested PanelView touchscreen displays with streamlined integrated screens replacing outdated controls providing real-time updates of components to operators and maintenance producing new troubleshooting abilities.
Solved key programming failures providing insightful solutions to management yielding sustained operational uptime.
Project #4
Styker Medical
User Interface
TG3 Electronics
Successfully completed layout, build, and test of user interface display for next generation Stryker hospital beds. The project launched and is in the field today providing enhanced ease-of-use via display footprint, patient control features, and LED lighting.
Created and remodeled LED configurations on patient control in Solid Works and Samsung SMT creating an efficient LED arrangement with paired light intensity leading to 35% reduction in overall cost and time needed for production.
