Foundation for Problem Solving
My ability to solve complex
problems is the result of a diverse
background in design, academics
and management.
These skills make me a valuable
member of the team because I
can offer fresh ideas that are
grounded in engineering
fundamentals.

Examples Of Some Of My Work
Adjustable Panel Assembly Table
The Problem
Control panels are big and heavy
Up to 6 ft tall and 1,000 lbs
Tedious and straining to wire
Difficult to access components
Inefficient and potentially unsafe
The Solution
An adjustable assembly table
Position panel ergonomically
Easy to operate by one person
Safe and reliable
Low Maintenance
Competitive Price
Preliminary Design Variations
Cantilever design offered extra adjustments
Compromised and complicated mechanism
Preliminary Design Variations
Hydraulic jack design with sleeve bearings
favored for high load capacity and simplicity
Preliminary Design Variations
1,000 lbs max load led to the decision of using a center axis pivot point
Allowed for a safer and simpler design
Preliminary Design Variations
Control of the tilt table was needed to prevent excess acceleration
Existing equipment had to be accounted for
Analysis and Optimization
Beam selection based on load and length
Manufacturer test data allowed for
concurrent analysis and optimization
FEA confirmed product test data
Final Design How does it work?
Hand operated ball screw
Tilts table from 0 to 60 degrees
Allows for easy access and wiring
Final Design Hand operated hydraulic jack
Adjusts table height from 31” to 48”
Can be positioned in any combination
of height and tilt range
Rapid Prototyping
Cost Comparison
Make It or Buy It?
No comparable mechanism on the market to support 1,000 lbs
Alfra AMT-250E cost more with only 330lbs load capacity
Lohmeier MT-400 is close but costs more after 4 years
Make It! Cost range for custom Faber mechanism
depends on equipped options
