I would like to get some feedback on what method of control most of you prefer 4-20ma or a voltage loop like -10+10, 0-5v etc. I understand the noise considerations with voltage. I use a mix in my plants but determining a standard seems to be a Coke vs Pepsi argument. (all control loops are...
I have an application with multiple axis cam'd to one another and the transition points are pretty rough. This is a welding application that tracks an oval path, as it transitions from the long radius to the short radius the torches jerk violently which affects the weld quality. I have adjusted...

I need some advice/help on how to get started with twin cat software/programming. I have a tube bender with this control and need to make some changes drastically to reduce cycle time, the OEM programmer is no longer availabe and no one else with the machine builder is familiar with this...
I am looking for resources on resistance welding, I have been involved with it, in many forms for 5 or 6 years and believe I have a very good underatanding of the process i,e. pressure,heat, time and in my opinion most importantly material fit up. But providing resources to the powers that be...
can anyone tell me about resources to determine if there is a good way to test welds non-destructive on SS materials from 1.2mm to 3mm thick mostly tubing, in exhaust applications? such as a working envelope for ultrasonic
I could use some help, We have several automated tig weld machines, they apply a tack weld through formed stainless steel sheet, it is 409 ss, no filler material, using 100 Ar shielding gas, we have discussed this will the weld machine manufacturer and they advised attaching a ground lead to the...
