We are fairly new to robotics and have five installed in the plant. Our manufacturing engineers have been responsible for their programming and maintenance; however, this is no longer sustainable and we need to improve our support for them.
We are preparing to add nine robots for material...
Can I test a stator core for proper phase rotation prior to varnish treatment? I know I can power it up and use the spinning can trick but I am hoping there is something we can do at our test stand without high volts or amps. Any comments are much appreciated. Thank you.
I am looking for a portable vibration analyzer that is comparable to the CSI2130. We need balancing, bump test, BODE plots, coast down, dual channel, etc. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Does anyone know of a better method for shaping end turns rather than beating on them with a dead blow hammer? This seems like it can cause damage to the wire but I'm told that's the way it's done.
I am wanting to start in incoming inspection process on both round and rectangular magnet wire. What are the critical features I must measure in order to evaluate the wire quality? Does anyone have a feel of minimum acceptable dielectric breakdown voltages?
Thanks. MBailey.
Does anyone know where I can purchase a growler that is capable of testing large rotors? I am needing to test rotors that are 11 to 18 inches in diameter but would like the capacity to go as large as a 34" diameter. I am also interested in the magnetic paper that is used to show dead rotor...
I am trying to set up a process in which we do incoming inspection on temperature device such as thermostats, thermistors and RTD's. I would like to be able to sample 30 devices in one setup. My proposed system would have a thermocouple located at each device and I would like to be able to...
Does anyone know of a way to face the base of the motor to improve runouts, both face and register? Does anyone make a machine for doing this? I'd like to get down to 0.001".
Thanks, Mike
Is anyone using laser tachometers for sensing shaft speed for use with a vibration analyzer? I would like to take vibration data without having to stop the machine to put reflective tape on the shaft and I want an accurate speed measurement. Just interested in your thoughts and troubles that...
Has anyone had experience performing Rotor Integrity checks in a no-load condition? We currently do a 1.0SF test, but would like to do no-loading testing by measuring inductance and rotor influence checks but have not been able to correlate no-load to load tests. Any information you can...
I have a 250 hp vertical 12 pole motor that has vibration and noise spikes at 2760 and 2640 hz. One thought is this is RBPF (69 rotor bars) and RBPF - 120. I noticed on the vibration specrum that I have small peaks at 900, 1800, 2700 and 3600 hz. The spikes at 2760 and 2740 could be side...
I am working on a project to test for broken rotor bars by use of a current clamp and vibration data while the motor is under load. Has anyone done this type of analysis or con you direct me toward information on this subject? This is isolated to integral horsepower motors.
Thanks,
Mike
