    Controlled lubrication to atomize or not to atomize?

    Okay. I was using a hand ball valve just to experiment with. Are you suggesting it needs to be faster or that there is leakage? What is one you can recommend for this application for light viscosity(almost water like) oil,using 1/8-1/4" supply lines,2-5 PSI and has a 24VDC coil? I can find one...

    Controlled lubrication to atomize or not to atomize?

    Hmm. even with the valve on the liquid side the stream still slowly pees after the valve cuts off. What the trick to get it to squirt and stop immediately and not leak oil after?

    Controlled lubrication to atomize or not to atomize?

    Hey I was messing with a prototype last night when I discovered something. I was going to have the nozzle spray by opening the air valve that pressurizes the Lube tank. But I saw that even when you turn the air pressure off the tank remains pressurized still squirting oil so I have to put a...

    What kind of timer for my lubrication project

    Do you know if you can do latches with these? For example I need the timer to start counting down before it sprays but what will trigger the timer will only be momentary. It will be a combination of a limit switch on a cylinder and the operator pushing the button for a moment. Then the timer...

    Controlled lubrication to atomize or not to atomize?

    http://sureshotsprayer.com/NozzleExtensions.html #301 is sprays the stream I need but its 1/8 npt I need something the size of an air brush tip. Any ideas? I wonder if its possible to get a stream with a air brush tip?

    Controlled lubrication to atomize or not to atomize?

    Thankx but those systems are for weepers through the mandrel rods. That was my original intention but that requires the mandrel rods to be hollow. Unfortunately because we run much smaller tubing the mandrel rods can not be hollow or they would break too easy. We already have tips breaking with...

    What kind of timer for my lubrication project

    I am confused as to what the embedded PSU does? I have 120V to work with but my sensor needs to be 24VDC. So what is the embedded PSU purpose on this Micro810? Looks to me like I would still need a external 24VDC PSU even with the 24VDC version of this timer with the the "embedded PSU" because...

    Controlled lubrication to atomize or not to atomize?

    http://www.metalloidcorp.com/finworks.php I guess Oak Oil in a nickname because they use it on Burroak tooling alot. But if you could post the link of the bolt on system you would be my hero. I tried to find one. The problem is it has to be smart enough to know when to spray. That means...

    Controlled lubrication to atomize or not to atomize?

    Well this app is not for cooling it is to keep the copper tubing gliding smoothly over the rod while bending and Oak Oil is the only option. Is the liquid delivery method in spray paint and windex both considered atomizing? Does it combine air/liquid or just use air pressure to push the liquid...

    Controlled lubrication to atomize or not to atomize?

    Hey Pembroke Pines Fl. I grew up eberywhere in Broward. The military landed me and my wife in Northern Fl. We want to move further south soon. Let me ask you,what do you do there? Are there any industrial automation/maintenance opportunities down there? Anyways back on topic. So an unenclosed...

    Controlled lubrication to atomize or not to atomize?

    Hey guys I am working on a auto lube spray system for a pipe bender. I need a very controlled spray like that of a one sec squirt of a can of spray paint with a flat spray pattern with a 45-90 degree angle on the width. This is because in order for the nozzle to be out of the way of moving parts...

    What kind of timer for my lubrication project

    I like the Micro810. I am waiting on a quote. Any idea what these go for? I see they have some with embedded PSU. But what does that mean on these because in the documentation it looks like what ever goes in is what comes out? Meaning if you put 24VDC in thats what you get on the I/Os. Normally...

    What kind of timer for my lubrication project

    Additionally does anyone know of a photo sensor that would be able to distinguish copper from stainless steel?

    What kind of timer for my lubrication project

    Okay guys Im taking on a auto lubrication project for a pipe bender. The company I work for is small and getting them to go with a PLC would be ideal but I need to see if I can do this with a simple timer first. The problem is I dont know what kind of timer I need. This is what I need the timer...

    SLC 500 and Micrologix 1200 compatible software

    http://ind-concepts.com/Allen_Bradley_PLC_Cables.htm That is actually the exact one I was going to get for the SLC 500. Does anyone know of any compatibility issues with it with regards to Windows 7,xp,vista or RSLogix 500 Start 8.4? Also I know I can use a dongle to use the RSLogix on more...

    SLC 500 and Micrologix 1200 compatible software

    I also need the Allen Bradley PLC 1761-CBL-PM02 for the MicroLogix 1200. Is there cable that goes straight from serial to USB without needing this additional adapter?

    SLC 500 and Micrologix 1200 compatible software

    I have the older non modular SLC 500. Not a 5/0x series. Just has 30 I/O. So what do I need? I am guessing the USB to serial adpater you suggest is for the serial cable I need for the MicroLogix 1200?

    SLC 500 and Micrologix 1200 compatible software

    Okay I have 2 questions. First one is stupid. I have a 15 pin connector on my labtop that has a |[]| symbol. I assume this is for an external monitor and is not a serial port,right? 2. Second question is based on the fact that I wasnt sure if it was a serialport or not so the AB rep quoted me a...

    SLC 500 and Micrologix 1200 compatible software

    I have a SLC 500 and Micrologix 1200 at work. Will Micrologix 500 upload,download and edit both of these PLC's programs even though they were probably written with RS Logix 500? 1. What cables do I need 2. Why or why dont I need RS Linx on my Laptop because I was told I do,but I though RS Linx...
