I'm thinking baseline and usage swatches placed under an optical comparitor is there any other suggestions?

The question is concerning proper guarding.

I have an open top hydraulic wood grinder that utilizes a ram to push the material through cutting teeth. The grinder is located approximately 5' below the floor level of the plant on the outside of the building. Three of its sides are protected by brick walls and therefore have no access. The...

In my experience most large manufacturing facilities use between 35-40% of the labor rate for each emloyee involved in the study. Most studies are in cost centers or value streams.

I am looking to install a semi-down draft dry spray booth to spray UV coatings within. The questions I have are: Is the UV coatings, like the ones typically used on wood furniture, greater than an ignitability flash point less than 140 degrees F. Are the dry filters, which are expected to...

I need to find an efficient way to neutralize UV coating material in water? I am spraying a water based UV coating on wood products in a "side down draft spray booth" and I would like to be able to break the material down after it is sprayed onto the product and the overflow gets...

Thank you, this is just what I need. I have ordered the software; it is a very good trade-off for $100. Good find.

I need to find a listing of all the symbols that I can use to represent flow on a plant layout AutoCAD drawing. e.g.- I have a product family that flows throw a department and then splits off in to several directions to go to different work cells. What symbol represents that split (one input...

Try to get into any of the Ford or GM schools they're great.

This is close to what I am dealing w/ start and stop dynamics are not at issue for I will start before and end spraying after the target surface. When you say time are you speaking of speed of travel of the spray gun or time spent spraying at one particular spot?

If so, is there a source I can go to help me create one? Thanks in advance...

Ok, I'm going to give this a shot. I can obviusly fix the geomerty of the nozzle. I can also fix the height of the nozzle tip from the sprayed surface. The only issue is going to be that the time spent on a given area of the surface will have to be pre-determined for coverage amount given the...

This is what I came up with as a solution please tell me if my premise was wrong. I just need to know if I spray for 2 seconds, 3 seconds, etc on any spot how much material have I applied. So, if my flow rate is 2ft^2 per second then for each second I have applied 2 ft^2 of material...

Given that I know the shape the material forms when sprayed I know the rate of flow out of the gun I know the viscosity of the material being sprayed
