    Manufacturers (Developers) of industrial robots

    Hi Everyone, We are looking for industrial robots manufacturers with them we could develop automation systems. I've just made a simple list with the manufacturers and their headquarters county (important for us) and would really appreciate if you could take a look and maybe add some companies...

    File Structure and File Management without PDM

    HI Everyone, For the last couple of years I've been working with CoCreate OSD with a PDM Server. Now I changed my job and I have to work with Catia without a PDM server. The biggest problem ist that I dont have anyone who I could ask about a file management system since I'm the ony one doing...

    Spare parts for old Honeywell 620 control unit

    Hi there, I'm looking for a spare part for an old Honeywell 620-20 control unit with a defective cassette recorder (modell: 623-51 96). I just can't fin a shop that carries that part. I've even looked in Ebay for used ones, but without sucess. Maybe it'd be possible to repair it... who...

    Quality measurement of deep drawn parts

    Hello! The suggestion from Danny might work... but... My parts are way too small to be measures with a ultrasound sensor. Unless you can point me to a sensor with a spot of a couple of thenth of a millimiter. The Parts I want to measure have a diameter of 1-3mm. I think I could sacrify some...

    Quality measurement of deep drawn parts

    Hi, Thank you for your replies! @arunmrao: I looked for the method and found out that's called erichsen cupping test. Not quite what I was looking for, but it lead me to some non destructive measurement methods. Thanks @CoryPad: Are there standard (normed) visual measuring methods? As for non...

    Quality measurement of deep drawn parts

    Hi there! I'm lookig for method to do some quality control on aluminium deep drawn parts. Since this is not my specialty I just asked Google, but could only find info about monitoring the deep draw process (through force measurment while forming), but nothing on finished parts. I'm looking for...

    Simulation Software for simple optics

    Hi There! I'm looking for a software to make simple optic simulations. I have a plexiglass sheet and would like to simulate the output angle of a light beam depending of the geometry and input angle. Do you know some software with which I could do this? If there's a Shareware or Freeware, it'd...

    Objective value to compare the vibration of two (similar) systems

    Hello everyone! For the transportation of very light objects (15gr), we are using conveyor belts with servo motors. We have noticed (after mounting an accelerometer) that the steering of the motor generates vibrations that are transfered to the belt. This makes our object slip and loose its...

    Take me back to the good ol days!

    People changing desings a couple of day before deliver is also normal in my area (automation). What we so is simply to set a deadline for the acceptance of the mechanical design. That date is set according to how much time we need to develop the machine WITHOUT any changes from the customer. Is...

    Acid fumes... How do I measure and deal with them?

    Thanks for the replies! @IRStuff: We have the same problem as the machines that come after the semiconductor etching process! The etched parts are transported from the acid pool into our machine (after being air dryed). Our machine and the acid pool are just separated with a plexiglass plate...

    Oil lubricated air in an oil-free pneumatic system.

    Thanks Kenvlach for your reply. The sheet mehtod sound also quite simple and effective. Thanks! Just a question. We can get isopropyl alcohol 70%. Could we use that one instead of the 20%? cheers! trala

    Acid fumes... How do I measure and deal with them?

    HI everyone. Our machines are part of a large production line. In one stage one machine comes after an acid bath pool (Hcl, HF, H2S04, HNO3 mainly) which is supposed to be sealed to prevent acid fumes to come out. The problem is that the fumes still come out and corrode our machine. I have 3...

    Flat belt for high temperatures...

    Hello everyone. In my company we are working in a handling system for hot plates (about 20kg). The plates come out of an oven with a tempreature of about 160°C (320 F) and should cool while being transported. The outer border of the plates rest on the 2 flat belts so that air can circulate on...

    Oil lubricated air in an oil-free pneumatic system.

    Hello! Thank you very much for the help. @rmw: We'll have to definetly checkt the compressor. The probability that the contamination comes from there ist very high. @ btrueblood: the "OPTICALLY STIMULATED ELECTRON EMISSION" method is going a little to far away for our problem. The other...
