    Manning requirements for Robots

    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...

    Stator Core Phase Rotation

    Sorry guys, I should have been more specific; this is not a rewind. We build custom engineered to order motors, one at a time. everyone of them are different and I would like to have a test in place to help identify connection errors before they become problems which can't be corrected without...

    Stator Core Phase Rotation

    Thanks Pete, if I understand you correctly, a small roller skate with a magnet mounted on it could be rolled around the stator bore and monitor the leading phase on the oscope when connected per your rotation check procedure. Would you need to make a full rotation or multiple rotations or would...

    Stator Core Phase Rotation

    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.

    Vibration Analyzers

    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?

    Shaping End Turns

    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.

    VPI Vertical or Horizontal

    Has anyone done a comparison of VPI treating windings in the vertical position verses in the horizontal position? Which is better? Why? Thanks, MB

    Wire Quality Inspection

    Thanks Tmoose, I trying to develop a specification that will apply minimum limits to such tests as the Thermoplastic Flow and Dielectric Breakdown Voltages as well as burrs and conductor damage. I'm looking for requirements that others may have experience with because the NEMA MW-1000 standard...

    Wire Quality Inspection

    NEMA is the absolute minimum standard which any wire supplier should be capable of meeting. It was written by the wire manufactures, not the wire users. Of the parameters listed in NEMA, which ones are the most important? Which ones require measurement? Thanks, mbailey

    Wire Quality Inspection

    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.

    Resistance measurement

    Thanks edison, Now the next question. Is there a temperature correction factor that can be applied to the viscosity of varnish in order to standardize the measurements? If so, do you know what it might be? Thnaks, mb

    Resistance measurement

    Can anyone tell me how the temperature correction factors are derived for correcting resistance to 25C in an electric motor? thanks, mb

    Growler Testing

    Thanks guys, I know the general concept behind growler design and we have built one in the past. It's toast now and we are in need of another one. I was hoping that I could purchase one commerically and save the time and resources in building one. PR&J makes one that is similar to our core...

    Growler Testing

    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...

    Motor Face Runout

    Mendit, I'm assuming that all of your customers are stupid and you know more about motors than they do, Right? I don't think that my tolerances are too tight, I'm just trying to meet a customer's specification with some kind of acceptable capability in our process. This is not a NASA project...

    Motor Face Runout

    Thanks, I called CPMT and they are currently working on something similar to what we need that may be adaptable to this application. This is a portable milling machine that we could install a grinding spindle and quill to and may be attached to the shaft and the TOE bracket can be resurfaced...

    Data Acquistion Hardware

    Thanks guys for your comments and suggestions. I'm leaning toward the Labview software and hardware. It's always good to hear other's opinions. MB

    Data Acquistion Hardware

    Thanks guys, when I say I want to read the state of the device, I mean for T-stats, either open or closed, depending on the type of device we are testing while suppling some voltage. For thermistors, I would like to be able to record ohms,understanding that I will probably need some type of...

    Motor Face Runout

    Sorry Pete, Maybe I should have given a little more detail. This is related to C and D type flanges. NEMA MG-1 section 14.2 defines the tolerances and we are trying to do better. I am interested in a method to machine or grind the mounting base of the motor as an assembled motor in order to...
