Time does fly. This week seemed to breeze by. Of course there were a couple of days that were slow and methodical, but overall I am surprised that there is only one more week in my internship. I have been enjoying myself in this internship. This last week I finished up visiting the majority of the departments of StoneAge except for small assembly, which I hope will happen next Monday.
The work on my project has come to a short halt in which I have to wait for the piece to come out of the shop to test with. Making Friday much slower than anticipated. However helpful I was for organizing downstairs in preparation for next Thursday's event. After the product comes out of the shop I will have to do plenty of tests to see if what I created actually solves the problem that the ABX was having. Rick told me that his first project, a high pressure seal, took him 3 months of testing before he had a product that was complete and ready to go out to costumers. So, it would be a miracle if I could have mine ready to go by next Friday. Other than that I have had another great week at StoneAge and look forward to the next.

First week completed. I have had a great time at my internship this far and there seem to be only sunny days ahead. Being the first week of course there are so many people to meet. I am nearly the 200th employee. That is what I have been doing for what feels like the most part of the week. Going from department to the next. For example the first day, after I went out for lunch, I hung out with the machinists and learned about welding as well. Which is actually more scientific than you think. Then on Thursday I went to Large Assembly and actually got to put together some of the parts that StoneAge sells.
After the time I spent with the departments I would go to my desk and work on learning Solidworks, a CAD software. And by Wednesday I had started to create the part I am working on for my project. The project I am currently working on is something that makes it so that when the ABX-500(Auto-Box 500) runs and feeds the hose to a tool it doesn't lose its grip on it. We are currently thinking of something like a funnel or something that will just make the hole smaller than what it originally is. Thus far I have had a great internship and look forward to continue working. See you in a week Janae. |
