    Laser triangulation distance sensors applicable?

    Hey, I'm actually a sales engineer for Keyence...that kind of tolerance is tough to hold from that distance and that fast of a response time. The best I could do would be our LK Series long distance head which would get you up to 30" away with 50 um res. maybe you could use dual heads to get...

    how did you guys learn about automation and PLC programming?

    On the automation side, you can use Keyence. They are factory direct sales engineers that are the best in the business. I can throw anything at my Keyence guy and he solves it on the spot and I'm a happy camper. They also have cheap PLC's, with no charge on software...limited options on the...

    Linear displacement sensor

    Hey Eric, I specialize in high precision/high accuracy measurement. Sounds like you need an LK-G32/G37 or higher depending on what stand off distance you want. My only concern is the high temp of 250F...maybe we can combat that with distance away from the target and some shielding/air. I work...

    epoxy coated rebar

    For those of you who might still care... Yes there is a new alternative to epoxy coated rebar. It's a new steel created by MMFX Steel Corp. Boo1, I believe you were the first to inquire about it. Yes it does have Cr in it which does for a Cr oxide layer when scratched, thus one of the...

    Reliability of magnetic particle inspection

    If you are worried about the testing company, may I recommend Non-Destructive Testing Group headquartered out of Caledonia, Michigan. I worked for them as an inspector and they are one of the leading NDT companies in the states. They do a lot of work for Tier 1 companies. You could also try...

    Is there any hope for us entry level engineers?

    Thanks guys for all the support. To COKA, I'm probably one of the most outgoing extraverts you could ever meet. I am very comfortable interviewing...very much myself. As far as different approaches go, I have done just about everything. Sending resumes in via monster.com and all the...

    Is there any hope for us entry level engineers?

    I earned my degree in Materials Engineering Dec. of 2002 and am still looking for an engineering opportunity. I know times have been bad since 911, but how are any of us entry level guys ever going to get experience when no one will hire us without 5-10 years experience. I have all this will...

    Tragic Indifference

    Being a former employee of Firestone I can say this, but am only comfortable stating general details. As far as engineers having the power to effect change in larger scale companies, the answer is sadly not much without stepping on a lot of toes. The key is to make your objections known and...

    Polymer Structure Hardness Relationship

    Try "Polymer Science and Technology", authored by Joel R. Fried. Pay close attention to the Critical Molecular Weight of the polymer you are using, this the molecular weight in which stable polymer chain entaglements are acheived. Most of what you are looking for will be found in...
