Transmission

Day One:  This transmission is from a Froreip table.  Today's directive: 
  • Disassemble the #transmission.  Sounds easy right?  Not so much.  Once I dug into the disassembly it became apparent that the notes, pictures and drawings were going to be really important.
  • Some of the parts seemed to be easy to remember.....until they were out.  Luckily I can follow instructions - even when it seems like overkill.  (It isn't -somehow everything looks different on the table. Organization is another of talent that I am learning.  Some projects go on for 4-6 weeks.  Day to day is not hard to keep up but after a weekend, not so easy.

Gears & Bearings, Gears & Bearings:  Two pages of bearings all varied but important.  My task today is to locate the distributor for each of these.  Using a quality bearing is an important lesson learned, especially when the project is so big.  Customer deserve high quality parts that aid in the longevity of the transmission.  Like a machine tool rebuild this transmission needs to run like #new. 
That is what the customer is paying for.  In my apprenticship, I have learned over the months that quality is of the utmost importance. 

​Rossi Machinery Services has customers that have worked with them since the company's establishment! Going the extra mile is the motto here at Rossi Machinery Services, and I am becoming a believer.  I discovered first hand what a reputation can do. 
​ When Mr. Rossi advises a customer, they know he has their best interests in mind.  He doesn't always sell them --sometimes he advises them not to do a project.  They appreciate that a lot.

 Things get complicated learning a trade.  The complication is different than college but is still intense in its own way.  Parts and machines are expensive.  Customers rely on the technician to be knowledgeable & talented.  This trade is keeps #manufacturers running, their equipment up-to-date and extends the life of equipment that runs into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.  

Although I had only a minor role in this project, I am appreciating the work and learning a hands on trade is challenging.  Still I have a sense of accomplishment.  I can't wait until this project is finished and re-installed on the Froreip VTL.  
Picture
The challenge is rewarding.  Knowing that someday I will learn to navigate most every machine, troubleshoot the issues and make the repairs, is satisfying to me.  I've said this before, but I am up for the challenge. Learning mechanical, electrical, hydraulics, leveling, troubleshooting and even product lines, I have a long way to go, but this transmission is a good start.

​TESTIMONIAL:  March 7, 2019

​A.RAYMOND TINNERMAN INDUSTRIAL, Inc.


​We purchased the Acer AGS 1020 AHD wet grinder about a year ago and we are very pleased with it.  The wide 10” feed allows us to resurface many of our small die shoes and strippers without having to buy a larger grinder. The machine is very accurate and the hydraulics are quiet, especially in the small room where the machine is located.  My employees were able to learn how to operator it very quickly and without having much previous experience with an automated grinder achieve excellent results.  I feel that the machine is a great value and has worked flawlessly for us.
