Casting a broad net here, maybe catch a jewel or two.
I've chased internet searches for this and it's difficult to sort through the noise.
I'm part of a team that is searching for an ONLINE "Electrical Machinery" course (aka: electrical motors course). Taught at the 4-year BS Engineering...
I caught the slightest whiff of information about this on another discussion forum.
The comments from the other forum indicated this facility is a highly automated warehouse distribution center with autonomous robots. A fire started, spread quickly with robots moving at rapid speed, and the...
I come once again to tap into the wonderful expertise & opinions of Eng-Tips family.
Am helping specify lab equipment for a University shop facility. This facility supports the academic mission of teaching MechE, MfgE, MechEngrTech, & MfgEngrTech courses in Manufacturing Processes. We...
I am seeking recommendations of any learning resources for the topic of designing & building high precision machinery, fixtures, machine elements.
Various websearches have given me lots of hits on Shigley, etc., but that's insufficient. Anybody with modern CAD tools can design machine elements...
Seeking clues from anybody.
I have a new Dell desktop Win7Pro-64, almost virgin, hardly anything installed on it. Have been struggling to get a good install of SW2010SP0 on it. Many, many attempts over the last few weeks. I am a SW Add-In program VAR and get my SW directly from Dassault...
I'm involved with setting up a laser marker station that will mark 6mm thick polycarbonate sheet. The laser is 1064nm wavelength, 10W power. Axis of laser is perpendicular to broad surface of the sheet. The laser focus point is inside the 6mm sheet thickness dimension, not on either upper or...
A client has received a machine rated at 480Vac 3Ph 60Hz 15KVA max, 3KVA running. They want to install the machine in a temporary location that only has 208Vac 3Ph 60Hz available.
I had to reach 'way back behind the cobwebs and vaguely remember the phrase "step-up transformer", but associated...
Hi All
This R&D / Customer feasibility project bombed the first time with another engineer, now it has landed in my lap. We want to attach a thermal cutter or hot knife of some sort to a robot. It will be used to cut a a plastic automotive part, total distance ~400 mm max. Thickness ~4mm...
I am designing a single axis linear drive for a client. For several important design reasons I wish to use timing belts if possible. My fallback position will be rack & pinion, but that causes some other problems.
It's a strange application: 57 ft pulley-to-pulley distance, open-ended belt...
I'm a newbie to fiberglass manufacturing and trying to learn quickly. I will be involved with robotically spraying gelcoat and layup resin on open molds. I am investigating manufacturers of spray guns and associated equipment and have found the typical mountains of information on the internet...
