ABOUT JAMES HITCH

When someone asks James Hitch about what he does, his response is, “I’m someone that fixes things”. James was one of those kids who disassembled all his toys so he could see how they worked. Even now, James will work on and fix many things most people would just throw away. “I love having the ability to dive into a problem, investigate the issues and find a solution,” James said, “it is extremely gratifying.”These abilities has lead James into a career as an Electrical Application Engineer with Kaman Industrial Technologies. Over the past 16 years, James has worked with many customer partners in many diversified manufacturing environments to help fix their problems. Using his experience, James uses Kaman’s supplier partner components to update existing motion and electrical control systems, troubleshoot and replace malfunctioning components or provide “from scratch” automation control solutions.Areas of Expertise • AC and DC Drives - Application, Programming and Integration• AC Drives Used for Energy Savings on Pumps and Fans• AC and DC Motors - Selection and Application• PLC and Automation Controllers - Selection, Application, Troubleshooting, Programming and Integration.• HMI (Human Machine Interface)- Selection, Application, Programming and Integration.• Motion Control System - Selection, Application, Programming and Integration• Industrial Control System - Design, Schematics, Product Selection, Build and Project ManagementTraining and Endorsements- Schneider Electric Altivar Certified Start Up Technician (2013)- Schneider Electric ACE Univeristy - SO Machine Programming (2013)- Emerson Control Techniques FAST Certification for Commander SK Drives (2012)- Yaskawa Certified Drive Specialist (2010)- Baldor Motion Control (2006, 1998)- Omron PLC and HMI Training (2005)
