    Small Electrical Continuity Test Probe

    Hello! I am currently designing an electrical continuity tester for a flex circuit. The circuit itself is a series of copper bars that are mechanically connected to traces through different buses. My idea is very basic: connect a trace to the test circuit (a power supply plus some sort of...

    Capsule (Gelatin or Vegetable) Hole Cutting

    Hi all, To start off, I should say that I am a rookie when it comes to laser cutting. I am trying to cut circular cross section holes in pharmaceutical capsules that are composed of gelatin or vegetable based materials. These holes would range in .032" to .05". Is this doable from a material...

    Packaging Error Proofing: Labeling Verification

    Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the right forum, so please advise if this should be moved elsewhere - I couldn't find a packaging engineering forum. I work at a biomedical device company, and have a need for implementing an error or mistake proofing system with respect to product labeling...

    Durability of the pad print over time

    I am having some artwork pad printed on a part, but am concerned with the durability of the pad print over time. The part is a component of a consumer product, and will go in pockets, briefcases, etc. I fear that it will noticeably wear over time due to these types of environments. Although the...

    Enclosure Hinge

    I guess I did not properly qualify the statement made for my question concerning 'Option (1)'. I am looking for hinge suppliers, not case suppliers.

    Enclosure Hinge

    I am currently designing a small (approx 4.5"W x 3.5"L x 1"T) plastic case. Everything is sorted out but the hinge, as I do not have experience with hinge design. That being said, I see two options: (1) source a hinge from a supplier - that way I avoid the design portion, or (2) learn how to...

    Terminated Wire Rope

    Hi all, I am looking for pre-terminated/fitted wire rope. The wire rope should be 1/8" diameter w/ some type of plastic coating (doesn't matter what plastic formulation is used), and the terminations should be ball ends. I ask for pre-terminated because from my initial research, it looks...

    Photoelectric Displacement Sensor Manufacturer

    Hi all, I am seeking an inexpensive photoelectric displacement sensor. The requirements of the sensor are that it senses over a 10mm range (preferably 0-10mm, but could be greater like 30-40mm), and is accurate to .1mm. The application is to detect the distance of a rubber tube that will...

    Supplier for Inexpensive Ratchet Wheel and Pawl

    Hi all, I am in search of a supplier for a low cost ratchet mechanism containing a ratchet wheel/gear and pawl. It is for a light load application, and can be manufactured from any metal, but I imagine getting my hands on a cheap steel or brass one would be easiest. The ratchet solution would...

    Simple Fluid Dispensing Question

    The pump is an air powered pneumatic pump. It operates all day, at a maximum flow rate of .1 gpm. Here is a link to the pump: http://www.mcmaster.com/#6770K41 What are the metal devices you referred to?

    Simple Fluid Dispensing Question

    My question is: what fluid dispensing container would you recommend for this low flow pump application?

    Simple Fluid Dispensing Question

    I neglected to mention that this is for a low flow rate situation. A reservoir volume of 1 gallon is sufficient - just to give you a ballpark idea.
