Cooperative education

Tim Walker, a process engineer at Pequot Tool and Manufacturing, Inc., has worked in tool and die making, die design, machine design, machine programming, process engineering, and corporate geometric design and tolerancing consultation and training during his 30-year career. Recently, Tim presented four sessions of training to students in the Central Lakes College Machine Technology class at Staples. His four days offered the students information in four areas: 1. Fundamentals of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing; 2. Datum Reference Frame Applications; 3. Orientation, Profile, and Position Tolerances; and 4. Coaxial Controls and Various Calculations. "This is the first time we've provided this type of training," said instructor Ronn Redemske. "It is a real important facet and quite a generous contribution of knowledge made available to us by Pequot Tool." Tim said he enjoyed the experience.
