I have work in many different fields of design and detailing. Most important was tooling design for the military to load explosive and explosive devices. Designed and detailed all drawing to tight tolerances. After desert storm, everyone was laid off, so I moved backed to the twin cities and started designing & detailing parts and assemblies for laser systems. I designed a enclosure that had to fit inside an elevator. Inside of the enclosure, designed a special custom laser system that tapped the pin out of the Russians warheads. The process disarmed them without exploding.
Soon after, I designed and detailed large continuous machine tooling assemblies used for assembling BD syringes. I also designed and detailed large ovens to cure canula. Lasted 8 years.
Then, I started designing for Robotic companies. Custom designs for End of Arm Tools for picking boxes, ice, ice cream, cement pads, chicken poop, slip sheet dispensers, pallet dispensers, with no change overs of tooling. One tool with multiple tools to perform all tasks. Kind of like Transforms.
I also have designed my own End of Arm Tool which I sold (3) to Pioneer Hi-Bred and still running since 2010.
I have designed lots of tooling for different products. I always worked with project engineers that picked out the required high-end components so I could continue to design all necessary frames, brackets, tooling, sheet-metal shrouds, to create working machines.
I love to design and detail projects. I create assembly drawings and exploded views, cut away and detail piece parts. I used Autodesk Inventor to design 3d models for 10 years. I changed over to SolidWorks. I have been designing using SolidWorks for the last 11 years. I purchased my license of SolidWorks from 2015 thru 2025.
I have been using SolidWorks 2020 & 2025 with most customers.
