Does anyone on this board have experience with 6TON presses? We are implementing them for some of our product lines and are running into some minor problems.
One of which is that we are constantly getting parting line flash 180° of the gate location. These are very small parts, about the...
Hello all,
I was assigned a new project here at work and it involves the use of Polystyrene Particles in the 5-6 micron sizes. Does anyone have any experiance with these? I know absolutely nothing about them, so any information is useful.
Hello all,
I am planning on constructing a test setup for work that would involve the use of a rotational electric motor to turn various small gear dampers.
This test would be used to test accelerated life testing and would rotate the small gear dampers (which are the size of about a quarter) in...
Hello,
We are an automotive supplier trying to find a 3D translation software that will accomodate all of our customers and have not had much luck searching. We currently use SolidWorks to do all of our 3D design. We have customers who are sending us 3D in a variety of formats which they feel...
Does anyone on here know what the soloflex rubber bands are made out of? I am assuming it is a type of rubber and after looking at a couple I am thinking that it is compression molded. We have a project and think that something similar to one of those rubber bands would work for it. I have...
hello,
I currently have a project which deals with an injection molding process at work. We are molding pairs of brackets in a 4 cavity mold. 2 of the cavities are the RH bracket and the other 2 cavities are the LH.
Currently we have a robotic arm with 2 grippers which comes down in from...
Currently we are searching for a positive displacement pump which can dispense small amounts of silicone. Currently our smallest shot weight of silicone is 0.08g ±0.001. This equipment would be used for custom part samples, as our standard parts are assembled in a fully automated machine.
We...
We currently have a testing apparatus which is powered by an air cylinder. This apparatus operates in temp ranges from -40C to 85C. This system pushes a rack at a speed of approximately 0.13 ft/s.
When using this apparatus in the cold temp environment, the valves must be opened up all the way...

Hello all,
I am planning the buildup of a Ford 390 FE engine for street cruising and occasional strip use in my 1966 Galaxie 500XL. This engine will not be built until next winter, but I am trying to plan as much of it out as I can now so I don't run into too many problems when the time comes...
Is there any reaction that takes place when 303 and 304 series stainless steel come in contact with each other? I know these are pretty similar in composition. Is there any increased corrosion of the material if for example a 303 series threaded rod were threaded into a 304 series threaded hole?
I am currently working on repairing a machine that we have out in our plant and need to purchase splined shaft for the repair. I will need approximately 1ft of external splined shaft and a section of internal spline to mate to the shaft. The internal spline fits into a recess of a coupling and...
I am working on a heat treat furnace that we are having problems with. The original design involves the exit of the furnace and then the quench area. We have a mechanical arm that removes the parts from the door of the furnace and then places them into the quenc area. The motors and gear...
