Wax Dimensional Inspector LPCS

MISSION: To assure in-process visual and dimensional quality of all wax components.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES:

• Visual Inspection.

Objective: to identify surface defects and flaws in wax components and tools.

• Visually inspects wax patterns prior to cleaning, soluble cores, developmental and prototype assemblies, and tools for surface defects and flaws.
• Uses a variety of hand tools to assist in visual inspect.
• Dimensional Measurement.

Objective: to assure dimensional integrity.

Typical Activities:

• Inspects components using height gauges, micrometers, calipers, ultrasound and other dimensional measuring devices.
• Performs Statistical Process Control calculations using pre-established formulas to determine if dimensions are within acceptable ranges or if process is in control.
• Engineering Support.

Objective: to work with and prepare reports for use by engineers in addressing product quality issues.

Typical Activities:

• Works with engineers to establish and test inspection techniques.
• Works with engineers to identify and resolve problems of surface and dimensional defects.
• Enters dimensional data into computer for engineering purposes.
• Prepares reports and information on dimensional issues as needed.
• Completes a variety of logs and records.
• May train less skilled personnel as assigned.
• Performs other tasks as assigned.

TRAINING:

• Training is provided on the job.
• Wax Dimensional Inspector Courses.
