    Constant force Actuator w/feedback

    PICOSOFT

    Gentlemen, I appreciate your input. For reference I have just now finished transferring a program from Picosfot into a new Eaton EZ5112-DC-RC. I used the Allen Bradley controller number 1760-L12BWB ser. B and an older Moeller cable that I had sitting around. Darth Vader, glad I could give you...

    Solidworks 2010 laptop graphics card

    I have a new sony vaio VPC-F11PFX laptop but the graphics card isn't quite enough for realview graphics(SW2010). Can anyone recommend a compatible graphics card? I did a search on the forum but it looks like most of the responses where from 2007 re: laptop graphics.

    fanuc R-J3iB display bitmap

    We've been told that there is a place within the Fanuc teach pendant, that we can replace the default bitmap with one of our own (i.e. company logo or contact info). Has anyone ever done this? Where can I find that area on the TP.

    Hourly rate counter / accum

    A couple of us have been trying to figure out how to develop an hourly rate counter for a robtic operation. We are using RSLogix5000 but it wouldn't have to be that platform. I know the basic operation has to be simple, but we're coming up with some interesting issues. Let me know if anyone...
