PSQ13 Cat Testing

This week I have learned a lot about the hydraulic system on a cat excavator. I have done testing of the hydraulic pressure relieve in the pilot system and cycle times in the system. I have also measured and figured out how many miles per hour the tracks went and compared it with the set times in the service manual. This week has been a good week and I have learned a lot.

SPQ13 Kenworth

    This week I have learned a lot about factory line and how they can run efficiently. I went on a tour of the Seattle Kenworth factory and learned about how they have the assembly line set up. I think it was nice to see how easy and straight forward everything looked as it was being put together. Now I can see all of that aspect of diesel in a different way.

SPQ13 B&G Machine

   This week has been a real fun week and I have learned a lot. Visiting B&G Machine was a huge part of what I learned. I have learned about the business side of B&G and how everything works and really amazed in the system they have and how they all work together in one big group. I have also learned about the precision work that goes into redoing an engine from crank shaft to the cylinder head. I also liked how we went over the more power over the manufacture limit the less reliable the engine becomes because its not built to handle anything more the what it originally had.
