controlsdude hit it the nail on the head.
If you want exact product placement, then a servo is the only method that will give the repeatability you need.
He is also dead-on with higher friction belts.
Also, I've substituted the use of chains with lugs instead of belts to help prevent the...
The first consideration should be what sort of resolution and repeatability are you looking for?
If required resolution needs to be extremely tight, a load cell will probably be the best option here. Good ones have accuracy to within 0.03% of full range.
Radar does not accurately read below 6...
I'm running a trial of a RedLion G3 to replace obsolete ABB AOS panels currently.
Lot's of protocols available without the need to install extra drivers.
The choice fell between Panelview and RedLion. What sold me was the price. The RedLion configuration software is free.
So far, I've been...
There are some things that "deminimus" engineering just should never apply to. That includes systems that require some sort of intrinsic safety. Caustic soda is nasty, nasty stuff. Caustic cracking happens more often that you think. At my paper mill, we use caustic for everything. Although there...
I've used Maximo in the past and have found it to be my first choice.
Currently, the plant I am at now uses MP2 and I can't stand it. We are currently in the process of switching over to Oracle. I'll post back in this thread in a few months to give my opinion on this system.
