Preliminary Agenda Abstracts
1:30 p.m. – 2:10 p.m. Development of Non-Contact Automation for Investment Castings Tim Ruland, Chris Tinker, Alexander Hautanen, Hitchiner Manufacturing, Inc. Josh Sullivan, Capture 3D One of the advances in technology for Hitchiner is the
progression of Structured Light and the growth of non-contact measurement systems. Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) use has been the main measurement tool for Production and Engineering, but the evolution of Structured Light has now become a dedicated staple. This growth in non-contact technology has merged into a fully automated resource and is still growing. Hitchiner’s usage of non-contact technology has been a continuous development initiative in serving the high demands of more complex aerospace products, research, and development within the company. The focus of this presentation will show a timeline growth
within the last decade of utilizing new technology integration in metrology. CMM technology growth of programming with a model to manual White Light and then to Blue light simi-automation and then stepping into full structured Light automation.

The New Process Control Seminar...
“I attended the class and the new format was great… very informative, creative and well thought out. It will force you to follow the problem solving process and techniques, and not to pre-determine or guess what the solution might be (no short cuts). The class focused on using SPC to reinforce ‘the why’ and explain course of actions taken to solve any issues.”
– Kevin Wilson, Process Engineer at Yamaha Marine Precision Propellers, Inc.
