As walk past
furnaces |
Tub/buggy tags; Traveler
|
Check to see if code
changes will be coming up soon and notify the
Hammerman and his crew, unless the parts are
un-coded. |
Hammerman forewarned
of code changes to minimize hammer
downtime |

Heater or Induction
Heater Operator (double- checked by
Hammerman) |
Upon completing a
container of steel |
Tub/buggy tags;
Traveler |
Check tag on next
buggy or tub; be sure containers for a heat code
are run in order; if the new buggy (or tub) has a
different heat code from the current one, be sure
the current tag shows that it
completes the heat code, then notify the
Hammerman of the code change; unless the parts
are un-coded be sure the Hammerman or someone on
the crew has been notified; clearly separate the
steel from one heat to the next so they never
even get close to each other in the furnace; DO
NOT LET THE HAMMERMAN HAVE STEEL OF THE NEW HEAT
CODE UNTIL THE DIE IS RESTAMPED; (or, in the case
of un-coded parts, until the new parts buggy is
tagged and in place); notify Die Shop if hot
stamping required; if not required, go to step
4. |

Stop forging...DO NOT
FORGE PARTS WITH A WRONG HEAT CODE; prop the ram;
pull out the top die if it has heat code
stamping; get the Die Shop Helper, the Hammerman
or Die Prep Helper to restamp the die for the new
heat code (unless the part is un-coded); make
sure that all stamping info on traveler matches
Customer Specifications (Example: part numbers
and material symbols); have the parts buggy or
tub pulled out so the new heat code goes into a
new container; be sure that the new container is
tagged with the right heat
code. |

codes count all scrap on disposition table and
record on Hammer Scrap Logs; scan quantity into
M2M; forward Hammerlogs and Hammer Scrap Logs to
Production Supervisor for
review. |

Supervisor |
After ram is propped
and top die out (if needed) |
Traveler for new code;
tub/buggy tag; print |
Verify that the
Traveler has the same heat code as the new
tub/buggy tag; restamp the die per print (if any)
;double check all stamping; turn the die back
over to the hammerman; sign the Steelyard
Traveler and hang it up on the clipboard and
initial hammerlog. |

Hammerman/ QC
Inspector |
After die is
restamped |
Traveler for new code;
tub/buggy tags |
Set the hammer back up
and forge the first part with steel of the new
heat code; compare the lettering to be sure it is
the same code as on the tag for the new heat code
and on the Steelyard Traveler; IF THE DIE IS NOT
STAMPED RIGHT, IMMEDIATELY GIVE ANY PART WITH BAD
LETTERING TO THE QC INSPECTOR TO HAND-RESTAMP AND
GO BACK TO STEP 2; after ensuring that all codes
agree, start a new line on the hammerlog showing
the new heat code ("code letter") in
the die, on the tub/buggy tag and on the
Traveler, then resume forging; if OK, Inspection
must sign off paperwork before running
production. |
Properly stamped parts
produced; hammerlog maintained |
