Can anyone tell me if there is a recommended safety factor for design of mezzanines? It is a mezzanine for equipment, so people are not normally on top, but people will be working underneath.
We purchased the mezzanine as a part of a whole package of equipment. We are concerned with the...
I don't normally work with PLC's. So, I have a question about Allen Bradley. I want to view a program and only view, nothing else. But I think that someone told me that you have to RSView or RSLogix to view programs. Does anybody have a free or low cost program just for viewing AB programs?
Currently, we use Wonderware to operate a test station that uses PLC's to perform switching and feeds back data from the test equipment. However, we may be purchasing new equipment and/or upgrading old equipment, so we are considering switching software platforms. I have been told that Labview...
We are looking at changing the material of grid plates that we use in an annealing oven. The max temp is around 1550 deg F. We currently use HT material. One person has recommended HU or HX (increased Nickel content) to increase ductility while another has recommended HK (increased Chrome...
I guess that this is a low tech question, but I am looking for a handheld rectangular wire bender for magnet wire. The largest size would be around 0.18" x 0.60" rectangular wire. I have looked around and have not been able to find exactly what we need. Someone mentioned that a power...
Does anyone know of a good solder for joining aluminum to copper? We are currently using Johnson Mfg #435 with AL300 core. Would like to find a backup supplier with the same tpye of flux core solder wire.
Thanks
I've seen some discussion on 304L vs 316 SS in a high heat environment, but would like some clarification. Or maybe material recomendation.
We use tooling that we use as a form to anneal steel into a particular shape. Temperatures reach around 1550 degrees F. Because we are annealing...
I don't know if this is too simple of a question. I'm new in manufacturing engineering and need to order some casters for some carts. They will be loaded to around 2000 pounds and the floor is painted concrete so I was looking for something with floor protection. We were also hoping to use...
