Additional Experience
| Expert Witness Experience |
|---|
| Witness inspection support for aerospace segment, a vendor in Brazil (Tracker) was requested from an American company (Ducommun) to construct 15 Inspection fixtures that were going to be used to validate the construction of the airplane flaps. The support provided was to certify the fixtures were being constructed within the schedule, validate critical dimensions of sub-assemblies and final assemblies, guarantee the use of correct measurement methods and that the instruments used for measurement were certified. The biggest challenge was to guarantee the stability of the fixtures that were too big (more than 3 meters length) in a facility with a variation of more than 20C along the day, with very tight tolerances it would be impossible to validate it due to fixture dilatation. To resolve it the vendor constructed a climate room with controlled temperature which guaranteed the stability of the fixtures making possible the validation of them. |
