I recently took over the duties of checking our thermal spray qualification coupons, that are preformed daily or with any change in powder. We handle HVOF of, copper nickel indium, tungsten carbide, and aluminum; we also plasma spray copper nickel indium. Needless to say this is not my strong...

We use a simple layout on PowerPoint that we save as a slide master. We have a small section in the bottom right, 3.5"x1.5", with the part name, materials, equipment/tools needed, revision, page xofx, and company logo/name for style points. The top of the slide has the work instruction title...

Great! Can i find the mag drive at grainger,msc, or mcmaster carr? Suggestions? What about price? Ill try to look more into them tomorrow in the AM. Appreciate all the input.

Sorry about the acid/base mix up... You are right; a hand held drill agitator will not really help out for a couple of reasons. First, the operator will need to place parts in and have one hand free to control the basket. Two, the operator will need to have the ability to place parts in and...

thanks for looking out! those ranges are the most important since they need to be approved! How would i tie that into the equation just an, if(c1>-.63,c1<-.5)?

Ok, well the countif works perfectly and I thank you all. I knew it wasn’t that hard but I am pretty lame at Excel. Rnordquest, I am trying to use your formula: =IF(C1<-0.63,"bad",IF(OR(C1>-0.5,C1<0.5),"good",IF(C1>0.629,"bad",""))) Because it breaks everything down how I want it to be...

I have a couple of questions so please bear with me, First, can I set a value to a cell with words? Such as the word dog=1, and then have a total for dogs? Here is an example just incase... Dog Dog Dog Total dog=3 My next question is how can I make a formula that will give me the % of good...

I need to come up with a way to agitate 3lbs of NaOH/1 gallon of water solution. We are working with a 200 gallon tank. Our first reaction was to air agitate but the solution must stay at about 150-180F, I think. So really air agitation sounds like it is going to cool the solution off rather...

I got a 3% raise but I am a young engineer. Last year was very good to us, this year we are hurting. The high fuel prices have defiantly hit the aviation industry HARD. My father who works in the same field refused to tell me the raise he got but he did clear a +60k bonus for the year...

Well here is the bad news, they replaced the hard drive (under warranty) but still had to pay 400 in labor. Management said they would think about the new laptop but that they would like to continue using the current laptop. So we are throwing away good money to a useless computer. However...

I forgot to add that I am in the market for the an upgrade on our FARO arm to use the 3D Laser Scanner. Which would then add geomagic to the list of programs and its blade qualitfy program. Things keep adding up and the chance of getting a laptop under 1k seems very unlikely.

The M90 looks nice! Does any one have a rugged laptop? The prices are way too high but are there any benefits in this line of work? I am afraid that the constant movement from building to building and process to process is what caused my laptop to crap out prematurely. Has anyone heard...

Well my laptop took a dump over the weekend and now I am forced to fix it. That is not really the problem, the main issue is I just go a new hard drive installed 3months ago! Needless to say i'm in the market for something that can handle my workload. Currently I have a really "cheap" ACER...

We now try to have "a place for everything, and everything in its place" for lack of a better term this is exactly what i want. my ideal shop would be one where any employee from the president down to the newly hired can walk into that room and ask where is____? and they can reply 3rd drawer...

To answer some questions, we do produce mostly the same part just they very by design. We are actually a fan blade repair facility and overhaul turbine blades for most of the airlines and military. Our parts very in size from 6in to 48in but most cuts done in the machine shop are straight...

I am not sure if I'm asking the right guys but I need help with a layout for our machine shop. We are expanding our current machine shop to have about 2500 sqft. Currently the guys are in cramped quarters but now that we have the extra room I would like to come up with something that functions...

the fredo no...hoestly im more a mix of michael and sunny, but they dont just hand things over to me. plus i am "extended family" if that makes any sense. point is we are close enough to make pointed suggestions but with this guys it really becomes a worthless cause.

Mike I understand what you mean, the way it has been explained to me is that when he was asked to do things he would do it with out a second thought. So after 15 years with the company he has been given this "tenure". I just hate feeling that without this guy we could really be doing a lot...

I have an issue with a production supervisor, his is not my supervisor and really he isn’t a true production supervisor. What I mean by this is that he has no formal training, education, or knowledge of production and was granted the title just because he had been there for many years. He is a...

Yea our wires are stainless and surface finish on the weld chambers is super important. The cleaner the weld chambers the faster they pump down to vacuum which equals more parts. I have argued that we should give a very good cleaning at least once a month and if they want to give it a half...
