00:00.337 --> 00:03.254
(electronic music)

00:07.030 --> 00:08.530
I'm Technical Sergeant Anthony Swift

00:08.530 --> 00:09.670
from the 100th Maintenance Squadron

00:09.670 --> 00:11.870
and I'm a non-construction
inspection technician.

00:11.870 --> 00:14.330
I'm about to explain our
latest innovation product

00:14.330 --> 00:15.760
that we've created here at RAFM

00:15.760 --> 00:17.140
in the non-construction inspection section

00:17.140 --> 00:19.655
to better improve our
jobs and our daily lives.

00:19.655 --> 00:21.110
(electronic music)

00:21.110 --> 00:23.530
In non-construction inspection
we have to inspect bolts.

00:23.530 --> 00:25.780
Bolts are a critical
part of every air frame.

00:27.340 --> 00:28.760
With this inspection process

00:28.760 --> 00:30.400
we've only been able to
do one bolt at a time.

00:30.400 --> 00:31.690
It's kinda crippling.

00:31.690 --> 00:33.930
With our workload we developed a prototype

00:33.930 --> 00:35.610
from an airmen that was very innovative

00:35.610 --> 00:37.360
that allowed us to go up from one bolt

00:37.360 --> 00:39.190
to seven in an inspection cycle.

00:39.190 --> 00:40.730
After technology has evolved for us

00:40.730 --> 00:42.780
and we got a 3D printer within our flight.

00:42.780 --> 00:44.840
Newman Paul's innovation
drive really allowed

00:44.840 --> 00:46.130
us to capture the essence of this

00:46.130 --> 00:48.150
and we had a dedicated project
lead Technical Sergeant

00:48.150 --> 00:50.220
Steven Sigiri create the SGISG

00:50.220 --> 00:52.110
the slot guided inspection carriage,

00:52.110 --> 00:54.890
which allowed us to go from
one bolt per inspection cycle

00:54.890 --> 00:57.300
up to 18 bolts per inspection cycle.

00:57.300 --> 00:58.500
(electronic music)

00:58.500 --> 01:00.430
By putting these bolts in these slots

01:00.430 --> 01:04.900
and fitting to the actual
circumference of the coil

01:04.900 --> 01:07.970
we're able to shoot our shots in one cycle

01:07.970 --> 01:10.690
and inspect these bolts at the same time

01:10.690 --> 01:12.680
rather than individually placing one bolt

01:12.680 --> 01:14.717
and taking one bolt out at a time.

01:14.717 --> 01:15.560
(electronic music)

01:15.560 --> 01:17.110
Our drive for innovation didn't stop

01:17.110 --> 01:19.080
with the slot guided inspection carriage.

01:19.080 --> 01:22.290
It encouraged us to make the
Walker Six Shooter the W6S,

01:22.290 --> 01:25.910
which allows us to inspect a
circa magnization inspection

01:25.910 --> 01:27.997
in our head stock fill
stock by placing six bolts

01:27.997 --> 01:30.221
in the inspection rather
than one at a time.

01:30.221 --> 01:31.740
(electronic music)

01:31.740 --> 01:33.480
The next step for our innovations

01:33.480 --> 01:34.870
is a slot guide inspection carriage

01:34.870 --> 01:36.910
in the Walker Six Shooter
is to get these added

01:36.910 --> 01:38.290
to our Air Force Technical Data

01:38.290 --> 01:41.380
and the next step after
that is to take it DOD wide.

01:41.380 --> 01:44.240
The leadership here at RAFM
has been great in enabling us

01:44.240 --> 01:45.900
to take their ideas and
truly run with them,

01:45.900 --> 01:49.350
whether it be iris or the
pressurized leak detection cup.

01:49.350 --> 01:52.563
All of these ideas inspire
the flight line of the future.
