    Peelable masking for conformal coating

    chopper75, I'm guessing you are using some type of masking tape(hence the name) that is manually cut with an exacto knife and hand applied by a technician. If this is the case and the labor component is high, you might want to check out a company that does adhesive labels, that has die cut...

    4-Foot Hollow Steel Bar, Wrapped in Fine Wire, Do What With?

    lionx, If you are hiking near high power lines, and you wrapped the bar with insulated wire, then you could create a transformer. I had a friend once who had a cabin in a remote location. He did the exact same thing. What he wasn't counting on, was how closely the power companies monitor...

    Multi-Axis Servo Control Costs

    dzine, Your questions are highly dependent on specifics of system loads/speeds etc. That being said in the past as a rule of thumb, I've used $8kUSD/axis of motion for servo systems. Please note that this is highly dependent on system a broad range of system specific variables that need to be...
