Factory Tour of Churchill Corporation

TIME TO LEARN!!!  Videos and pictures from a factory visitation I made in 2009 to Churchill Corp in Boston, MA.  Aside from the KIA RONDO they gave me, it was a pretty fun trip.  It was cold as hell and the touchscreen on my smartphone did not work when i had 2 pairs of gloves on....


I uploaded them a long time ago to a dedicated Youtube channel and pretty much forgot about them until the other day when I was reviewing my Goog portfolio.  As expected, the videos do a lot of explaining and you will also hear the Lead Engineer explaining certain things about the processes.  On this blog post I will point out the not so obvious things.


Let's start out with the Glorious Finn-Power 3 Ton CNC Press executing a routine for an aircraft equipment tray.  Here it is running at 100%.

One of my favorite websites

This site sits bookmarked right next to Wolfie.

There she goes...

Finally got over myself and uploaded the Coupe up to GrabCad.  I know, took me long enough but finally I decided to Let Go, and Let GrabCad come up with some new renderings... Or maybe I will see a bastardized version of my coupe in the future who knows!

Keeping your Station Clean

Today I will talk a bit about regular upkeep procedures for maintaining a clean Workstation.

Some of the benefits of maintaining a tidy system are the following:
-Faster Startup times
-Less lag during high loads
-Faster Overall performance

Mechanical Motions

So tonight I started working on a new project.  Anyways, started out doing some research into the motions that the product will need and so far looks like I have found all of them.


The first two are alternatives for the same motion.  My design will probably use something closer to C8.

My 3DCC Aerospace Library

This is a short blog post to point out a medium-sized parts repository I populated during my time in the Aerospace field.  Most of the parts are Hardware for Mechanical Installations and are located over on the 3D Content Central website.


A lot of the hardware is purpose-built using MIL Specs as reference.  In some cases, the actual hardware was measured and reverse engineered into the 3D model.
