    Die Safety Blocks, for stamping presses - need source ...

    Thanks JMarv. You are correct - as Minster just informed us that the Magnesium safety blocks they offer are no longer available. We will check out other press manufacturers too. Cheers, Steve

    Die Safety Blocks, for stamping presses - need source ...

    Do you happen to have any sources for Aluminumn ones (preferably) or Oak ones? I can Google for these - but if you are already using some, or know of some and you'd provide that info - I'd appreciate it.

    Die Safety Blocks, for stamping presses - need source ...

    Thanks for the suggestions Mike. We though that this forum might give us a bit more focused result than a general Google search. Ouur purchasing folks did search on Google and nothing jumped out at them. I didn't do that yet, myself. Making them isn't what we really want to do. There are some...

    Die Safety Blocks, for stamping presses - need source ...

    Greetings, We need a source for DIE-SAFETY-BLOCKS (preferably Magnesium). I have attached an image of what we are looking for. For decades we have provided magnesium die-safety-blocks with the equipment that we sell. We used to source these from Magliner and then they discontinued them. We...

    ADO.NET ODBC MS-Access connection with UGNX

    Greetings, I have moderate experience using journaling and VB.net in the UGNX environment - so please excuse any noobie transgressions. I am just trying to establish an ODBC connection between a UGNX journaling session and MS-Access (via ODBC and ADO.NET) . I am familiar with database...

    Macro Programming Newbie Question

    We are new users of UG. We're using UG-NX. I've recorded simple a simple macro and have some questions. 1. Is there a macro programming langauge which supplements the recorder? 2. What is the best source of documentation for the macro language? 3. Can the macro langauge take user input -...

    Machining Solid Edge Models in UG

    We are evaluating different 3D CAD/CAM solutions. We are considering an across-the-board UG solution, as well as a hybrid SE/UG CAD/CAM solution. We'd like some feedback from people using a SE/UG CAD/CAM model. Can toolpaths be easily appilied in UG to models imported from SE? We have the...

    Machining SE Models in UG

    We are evaluating different 3D CAD/CAM solutions. We ar considering an across-the-board UG solution, as well as a hybrid SE/UG CAD/CAM solution. We'd like some feedback from people using a SE/UG CAD/CAM model. Can toolpaths be easily appilied in UG to models imported from SE? We have the...

    Solid-Edge Models to UG CAM

    We are looking at "just UG" also. But if it ends up that SE meets our Design-Side/ease-of-use needs better than UG does, or that the cost vs performance ratio is skewed in favor of SE/UG - then we'd like to know how well this works for others doing the same. Our major question is...

    Solid-Edge Models to UG CAM

    We're considering a Solid-Edge (CAD) and UG CAM solution. Does anyone have any thoughts (experience) with this combination. We're also considering 'fully' integrated packages such as UG, Pro-E, and CATIA, and are wondering how the mixed Solid-Edge/UG solution is working for others.

    Application or ACAD 14 Utility to convert scanned images

    There is a program BMP2DXF.EXE and an associated documentation file BMP2DXF.DOC that (in theory) produce a DXF file from a BMP file. The DXF file can then be imported into an AutoCad drawing. I have both here. E-Mail me if you need any guidance. Another option is to use "insert" from...

    Timing pulley reference source

    The Gates and Goodyear timing belt/pulley catalogs and design guide publications seem to have a lot of this information. I seem to recall that at least for the gates publications - the catalogs can be downloaded from their website in pdf format.

    how to convert rotary motion to lin

    It will depend on what your stepper is driving. For example, if you have a 5mm pitch dia. pulley on the stepper, driving a sycronous belt, the required rotation of the stepper would be: 360*(1/(5Pi)) = approx. 22.91831° I don't use steppers, but I'm assuming that each 'step' is 7°. If this is...
