Experience

My contribution

• — Researched lifting-mechanism options for the autonomous pallet truck.
• — Reviewed relevant literature and examples of manufactured parts and components.
• — Shared technical findings with the team to support design decisions.
• — Contributed to discussions around chassis and packaging compatibility, manufacturability, and structural strength.

My contribution

• — Worked with compressor air-end selection and performance outputs to organize repeatable technical validation workflows.
• — Compared model behavior across operating variables such as pressure, rotational speed, and available configuration/gear conditions where applicable.
• — Built and maintained structured calculation/validation workbooks and evidence tables for internal engineering use.
• — Documented assumptions, test cases, observed behavior, and validation results so that directly verified findings stayed separate from inference.

Diamond-wire cutting — direct hands-on work

Using an Ensoll ESS200-4T diamond-wire cutting system, my direct work included:

• — interpreting component geometry and drawing information;
• — selecting geometry from existing records;
• — manual nesting;
• — workpiece clamping;
• — wire positioning;
• — defining machine zero;
• — selecting the relevant program;
• — monitoring the cutting process.

Approximately 75 cutting operations / final components were handled during this part of the internship.

Diamond-wire cutting is an abrasive/mechanical process and must not be confused with Wire EDM. The Sodick SLC600G Wire EDM system was observational exposure, not a process I independently operated.

Quality control — direct work

• — Performed 2D digital radiography examinations within the quality workflow; this was not CT.
• — Examined and classified more than 100 components using company-defined exposure and image-processing settings, rather than independently defining X-ray parameters.
• — Performed hydrostatic density measurements on more than 100 components using the company's established Excel-based procedure.
• — Performed dimensional measurement as part of quality-control work.
• — Supported traceability steps including product/serial-number recording, label matching, laser marking, and packaging.

R&D thermal-response comparison

I participated in a preliminary comparison of aircraft brake-pad thermal response:

• — recorded surface temperature/time data with a thermal camera;
• — organized the data in Excel;
• — produced comparative temperature–time curves.

The work was preliminary. A small sample count and uncontrolled variables mean it should not be presented as a generalized performance conclusion.

Observational exposure

The following systems and processes were primarily observed or introduced rather than independently operated:

• — DMG MORI ULTRASONIC 50
• — Sodick SLC600G Wire EDM
• — MTS mechanical testing systems
• — BeVision D2 particle-size analysis
• — Shimadzu DTG-60H TG-DTA

Customer-specific process parameters, acceptance criteria, and material details are not published.

• — Took part in scheduled campus-promotion activities for high-school groups.
• — Guided prospective students during campus visits and helped them navigate university and program information.

• — Supported prospective students during the admission-preference period.
• — Coordinated meetings with faculty members when candidates needed detailed program information.
• — Helped students obtain accurate information about AGÜ and its academic programs.
