Hi All, Can anyone recommend an on-line training course for SolidEdge V20 Classic? If anyone knows of a free course that would be great; but my experience is that you rarely get more than you pay for. I am looking for a good fundamentals course for a machine design user - part modelling...

Hi All, I am trying to setup a new system with standard hole/counterbore/countersink/threads favourites; both inch and metric. Does anyone know of a good source to download a "custom.xml" file that would have common hole sizes for automation machine design? Regards, ERT

Hi all, I am designing a machine that has a pneumatic cylinder and ram system. I want to measure the cylinder stroke with a system that is relatively inexpensive ($200~$300 would be great). The stroke is 30 inches, and it cycles only about once a day. It moves very slowly in extend, and...

Hi pump fans, I have an application where I am using a PD pump to pump a viscous liquid/paste at 3000 to 5000 psi out of a drum. I want to put a pressure switch or transducer in the system to monitor the pressure in the drum to see what is going on at the suction end of the pump. The only...

Hi all, Our plant standard for pneumatic valving is to switch to the center position on a center blocked valve for any pneumatic actuation that is exposed to an operator. We program the machine to hold the "clamp" position as long as the operator has booth of the anti-tie down buttons pressed...

Hi, I have an application where we pump a viscous adhesive paste from drums into other drums or pails. We then put the drums/pails under dispensing pumps at the robotic dispense line. It is essential that there be no air in the bulk material, because it causes problems for the adhesive...

Hi all, Does anyone understand what the differences are between ISO and ANSI roller chain and sprocket dimensions? If so, can you comment on running ISO chain on ANSI sprockets? Regards, ERT

Hi, I have an industrial application where I need to occasionally spray paint on steel after a rolling mill. The paint is needed to mark defect areas that were detected during the rolling process. Much farther down the processing line (after going through other operations and accumulators)...

Hi all, I have an application for chip containment while milling barstock. We cannot let any chips escape. The process is pretty it simple, we are just feeding in on workpiece end concentric with the centerline. The only tricky aspect is I need to accommodate workpieces from 3/4" to 3.5"...

Hi all, Does anyone know of a source for heavy duty die transporter wheels? I am hoping to find a wheel with a capacity of 11,500 lbs (5215 kg). The customer wants it to be urethane coated or similar. Regards, ERT

Hi all, Does anyone have a macro that imitates the MEASURE command but reports in both inch and mm at the same time? This would be quite handy as we are often dealing in mixed unit assemblies. The only previous reference I found was: thread559-27994 which is several years old. Regards, ERT...

Hi all, Does anyone know of an add-in or external program that will give an audible alarm when SW is done a rebuild? I know that they have a beep for collision detection, but I cannot find any other sound option. I hope that someone has written a shareware add-in, or maybe someone has heard...

Hi all, I am designing metal forming equipment where some machine components needed to have very high tensile strength (and therefore high fatigue strength). The components in question need to mount forming dies into restrictive spaces, so what I need is the highest strength steel that is...

Does anyone know if there is a direct way to determine the loads imposed by connectors? There is chart of forces & moments only for the pin and bolt type connectors; what about all the others like spring and rigid? I know that if the faces are flat and orthogonal, I calculate this from the...
