It’s a pleasure to work with Travis. We are extremely lucky to have a quality guy that is also a legit machinist! You don’t find that very often. Great talk!
" When you bring in leaders that don't machine, machinist don't follow." When I heard Titan say that, it stuck with me. Our quality guy is not a machinist, and he drives us nuts. Y'all are definitely lucky to have a guy like Travis. God bless Y'all 🇺🇸
I work as QC for several vendors at a major US auto plant. I really wish that more companies took your stance on quality. Out of spec parts are so common, they have to hire a team of people like me who have to monitor what's happening on the line. Granted, there are a lot of interrelated pieces that all have to mesh and line up together. It seems like they would rather pay the money for a on site troubleshooting engineer, over just getting their stuff right the first time. There have been several companies that ended up going toes up because they couldn't hold tolerances. And I'm talking BIG companies.
Travis has always been one of my favorite members of the team, especially since he has been with Titan the longest, since the show Titan: American Made 🇺🇸 Respect 👊🏻💪🏻
Great podcast! I am not a machine operator, but the mindset to be great and work for excellence can be applied to any manufacturing shop. so your impact is even more great than you guys imagine! many thanks for you. greetings from Holland.
Great podcast as always! I completely agree about it being a team effort on quality! I've never understood when theres hostility there. Inspection does their job just like us. We can't be mad at them for finding our mistakes. They give us a chance to learn from them!
There is a guy where I work. He is a master machinist, .makes Fixtures, programs anything and everything without using CAD CAM software. Does basically 95% everything just with a calculator and some scratch paper to make parts. And I've been learning all I can from him. He is the mastermind of the shop......
That's a great person to learn from. Just don't make the mistake of stopping at what he knows. Mixing his skills with new technology could be a game changer for yourself and maybe even the industry! Keep going!
Hey big dog, love the podcasts. You should do a series on automation. The i/o and logic driving the machine tool and pallet system. I’ve done Fanuc 3d vision picking random castings feeding a pallet system. Then adding a laser barcode to the part for traceability. ✌️bro
Hold on a minute, Barry machined a 800 lbs chunk of material and got it down to 80lbs, How many tools did go through? that is serious stuff right there.
I have always waited for a video where you test tools life at recommend speeds and feeds. We are the only ones who have a cnc mill in this country. But the sad story is that it is from 1985 and it's got 10thou of backlash
Some inspectors dont even double check what the machinist write down on a first article form. Whats even more scary is seeing my fellow machinist check a chamfer diameter with "calipers" and not a chamfer checker gage or at the comperator. Needless to say im out of here

We love the focus on precision, in process inspection and quality control! Travis said it best "excellence breeds excellence"!

Respect 👊🏻💪🏻
Without quality, you have nothing! There is no good enough, there is only right and wrong. Great podcast guys!
Not only is Travis head of QC, he's a quality/ super down to earth guy! Pleasure working with him! Another great podcast🤙

Imagine the world if everyone pushed for this excellence in their job. Not just manufacturing but all services.

What a great lineup today! Another trip down memory lane 😊 Absolutely loved it! Nice job guys.
Great conversation! Definitely an A+ Team!

@@barrysetzer That's skill right there, I believe the fact you filled 20+ barrels full of chips lol

The Kor5 is a beast. I use it daily

Not to be that guy but on an episode about quality, your editing department sure did not "inspect"" this video. Great episode otherwise!
Hahaha we caught it, and the fixes are processing now
get rid of that sales guy...
