Can anyone give me an idea what g-levels a robotic arm carrying a 125 lb laser would reasonably expect? Laser cutting speeds are relatively slow perhaps up to 250mm/s, and probably g's less than .1 but when non-operational, any ideas?
Thanks

I'm in the process of doing vibration testing on some equipment that may go on a robotic arm. I would like to get an estimate on what g-levels the equipment may be subjected to...My equipment is 150 lbs not counting the robotic arm. It's been painfully difficult to get any information from...
Could anyone provide any info or published data on the yield strength of 6063-T5 at elevetated temps. I came across a chart that indicated that the yield strength of 6061-T6 at 200°C was ~80% of RT values after 30 min exposure. What about 6063? and at longer exposures? I looked in MIL-HDBK-5H...
Came across statement recently that read "lock washers are not used with socket head screws." I hadn't heard of this before so I'm curious...Anyone know if this is true? And why?
We're looking at a package deal of SW 2005 (Premium) that includes Cosmosworks-Designer and SW Routing. Anyone have opinions on how well these modules function 1. Solidworks Routing...for tube routings and cabling? 2. Cosmosworks Designer vs Professional. Obviously the Professional has more...
Does anyone know where I can find more info on this process? It's a trimetal (Cu/Sn/Zn) plating but I'm hoping to get some more information e.g. ASTM spec etc. Also, are there any issues with using stainless or nickel plated hardware in contact with alballoy coated parts.
Thanks
We use 6061-T6 in lasers, and prior to using them we bake them at 250°C for 12-14 hours and allow to air cool? Does this have any effect on the material? Hardness, temper? None of the material I researched indicates a change to the material properties?
Thanks
I'm and ME so bear with me please....
I would like to run a 240V 3000W (2 1500W in parallel) heater using an Opto22 240D45 SSR to control the power to the heater. Opto22 tech support says I need to verify that I don't need a snubber circuit due to the inductive load on the heater coils. This...
I'm looking for ideas on what can be done to prevent galling of these components...
Both are class 2 8-32 threads. The PEMs are SP type...material for both is 300 series stainless and non-CRS is not an option at this point.
Problems occur with both tightening with a screwdriver by hand and...
I am looking for a quick and dirty way to determine the steam flow rate using a pressure transducer. Steam Tank pressure = 18psig, Steam Tank Temp = 225°F. Steam Flow is through a 3/32 orifice in a solenoid (approx 2psi drop), into 3/16 ID tube 8" Long.
