Thanks, I will try that, but up to now I have not had any luck. I can find some new models branded under the Terex name now, but no archived information on older equipment. You would think it would be on the information we already have, but it isn't.
Thanks again.
I am looking for some information on an O&K RH75C shovel. I was recently transfered to a location where this shovel was in service. We are upgrading our equipment fleet, and I am trying to determine how well this shovel can support the new trucks. However, I have been unable to find a cut...
On time completion can be a powerful measurement when you start to look at the effectiveness of your PM program and how well you are adhering to the program. Even then, a generally accepted 10% rule exists (complete within +/- 10% of the due date, so a 30 day PM gets +/- 3 days). However, then...
I have seen individual charts from various sources, usually related to vibration training from Entek, etc. that gives coupling misalingment charts as a function of both shaft diameter and turning speed. I do not remember the original source of these charts though.
As far as any published...
I don't know that I have seen specs from ISO or anyone else on that. Rather I have seen specifications from Gates, or other belt and sheave manufacturers, as well as some general guidelines from alignment companies (such as vibralign, skf, etc.) that make belt alignment tools. There are also...
Your crane rental place should be able to give you a rate sheet for each crane in the fleet. If special setup or minimum fees apply to a crane, they should be able to give you these figures as well. Travel and setup you should be able to quickly estimate. If you are bidding the work, I am...
This system is not in my opinion RCM. At best, it is a time based preventative maintenance overhaul. This may or may not be the best startegy for your application. Not only could you be wasting money on unneccesary parts, but you could introduce contaminants to the system, take the risk of...
We are beginning to establish our failure modes, and I am sure that libraries of standard failure modes exist for common pieces of equipment (pumps, fans, gearboxes, etc.). Does anyone know how to obtain this information as a starting point rather than reinventing the wheel. I understand that...
I have a general question. Now that I have been in industry for about 10 years, I have found that I am slipping into more and more of a project management role, and am losing some of my "hard" engineering skills. To make matters worse, I have found that I am having a hard time keeping up with...
Many people who do engineering on the side also aren't interested in growing a large business, but rather to have an opportunity to work on other stimulating projects, as time allows, and as a way to supplement their income. I know that is my case. I do not have the time to devote to starting...
There are a lot of recruiters out there. Like anything else, some are very professional and courteous (even though they are selling something), others are not professional at all.
Cross the unprofessional ones off of your list, there are lots more to chose from.
I had one recruiter schedule...
I work in a manufacturing facility and the typical day starts between 5 and 5:30 AM, usually out around 4:30 PM Monday thru Friday (the plant operates 24/7). We alternate weekend coverage, so I work 9 hours on Saturday and Sunday every fifth week but get an extra Friday off the next week (god I...
Thanks Rich, I hadn't looked into that, but it may be a good way to network and brush up on some of the fundamentals that always seem to get fuzzy when you don't use them every day.
Metengr,
I guess my theory on relocation comes from the fact that whenever I have switched jobs or locations, I...
Thanks Beggar,
I agree with the problems with quality with some part time engineers. I have supervised some that were good, and some that never could get the grasp on things. However, that was in an old job, in a previous location. I was going to look for some of the temp/placement agencies...
Let me give a little background on myself and what I am looking for. I have about 7 years experience in maintenance and engineering in an industrial manufacturing setting, and am finally getting around to reviewing to take the PE exam. One thing that I have run into is that I need to expand my...
