Hi all,
I'm looking for a job shop that can do resistance seam welding, preferably in Western Canada or Washington state.
If anyone knows of a shop, please let me know.
Thanks,

I'm trying to find something that operates like a kipp handle, but isn't.
I have a cylindrical part that I would like to be able to index around its axis using a kipp handle concept: pull out to rotate, spring return to lock in place.
Does anyone know if I can buy an assembly of the mating...
Does SW have a utility or function that will allow you to list all the assemblies that reference a specific component?
For example: I have an adjustable lever, my part number 35-080. I'd like to know all of the assembly drawings in which it appears.
I'm using SW 2006 right now.
Thanks,
Dean
We are a manufacturer of industrial machinery. Our machinery comes in many different optional configurations, with occasional customization (10-20% of machines).
Our bills of material have traditionally been structured along functional areas. An engineer would then select a bill for each...
I originally posted this in the "Drafting Standards & GD&T" forum, but I figured I would crosspost it here as well. I know there are a lot more participants in this forum!

I'd like to survey the participants in this forum regarding material callouts on part drawings. I'm especially interested in companies that design and fabricate their own parts (rather than design only).
Our company uses an MRP system, and as such every raw material we use has a part number...

Hi,
I'm with an oem and we use several inductive and photoelectric sensors on our equipment. We have been using NPN type sensors since the dawn of time, dating back to the days we used printed circuit boards for machine control.
In the course of trying to find a photo sensor to solve a...
On our equipment we've got a 1.5" square steel bar that is cantilevered out some distance to allow adjustment of an assembly along its length. Unfortunately the end of this bar is hanging in the air and is often in a position where one can strike his head on it.
I'm trying to find some...
We have been having some problems with porosity in some of our aluminum welds. One of our engineers has done extensive research into causes and has implemented some procedural changes which have helped. We still seem to get some porosity, however, no matter what we do. In some cases we'll get...
I'm with an OEM manufacturer of industrial machinery, and we are always looking for ways to improve productivity and lower costs (well, duh!).
One area that I see great potential for time reduction is in our electrical control panels. Our typical panel contains a small PLC, a motor contactor...
