Hello there!
My name is Gustavo and I'm from Brazil, I'm currently working on a steelmill and here I do some projects. Now I'm working on a project where one solution for the problem is to use some kind of inverted pendulum where the base at the top system needs to be estable during the...
Hello there!
I'm an Electrical Engineer and I want to do an application using a PLC from FATEK. What I want is to communicate my PLC with a Bar Code Reader using the RS232 port. I want it to read the code and my PLC have to store it to be used elsewhere. Is there anyone with practice with this...
Hello there!
I'm an engineer working at a steel mill, here in Brazil. What we want to do is to design a safety rod to guide overhead loads, so that we don't need to use our hand to move it. We currently desingned the rods attached, but what I'm concerned is when they need to get up to the pile...
Hello there!
My name is Gustavo and I'm from Brazil. Currently working on a steelmill plant. Now I'm with a project where I'm using a gearbox. The problem is that I realized that the motor of the gearbox needs to be a motor with brake. I don't want to spend a lot of money buying gearbox with...
Hello there!
I'm an Electrical Engineer here in Brazil, and I'm currently working at a steelmill plant. I'm working on a project where I want to measure the weight of a load. Currently we have a kind of car that is moved by a pneumatic cylinder. This car go forward and backward constantly. What...
Hello there!
My name is Gustavo, and I'm from Brazil, where I'm working as an Industrial Engineer in a steelmill plant. Here we are starting to run a new process, the annealing furnace, where we use (obviously) a furnance to change the material composition of the steel. The problem that we're...
Hello there!
I'm an electrical Engineer working as Industrial Engineer here in Brazil. I'm working on a steelmill industry, and I've being making some improvements on the process. The newest one was the implementation of a safer device to reduce the diameter of a bundle of bended wire. To do...
Hello there!
I'm an electrical engineer and I just mounted a new machine on my industrie. It's composed of a motor turning a shaft. This turn is made when the operator press a button. But due to the inertia of the shaft, when the motor stop spinning, the shaft make a half of a turn. And this is...
Hello there!
I'm responsible to project some electric panel for some improvments made where I work. I just want to know some general tips when projecting this panels.
They're low voltage panels, used to feed motors for small projects.
Best regards.

Hello there!
I'm having a problem with two cylinders that are connected to the same valve. Throught the time, one cylinder starts to delay it course, and as they are attached to the same structure, this structure starts to break, causing problems to our process.
My question is: can I detect...
Hello there!
Here where I work we have 5 hangars near each other, and each hangar have a crane to move load from one place to another. But the crane can only move the load inside the hangar, and can't move it to one hangar to another.
I'm thinking on a cheap and efficient solution for this...
Hello there!
I'm in a project that we're designing a rolling table to transport a bundle of steel rod. To improve the productivity, I want to increase the speed of the gearmotor with an inverter.
The plate info of the gearmotor shows that the nominal rotation is 1780 rpm. But in contact with...
Hello There!
I need to rotate an axis of 40 mm of diameter and 2500 mm of lenght. The range of the movement is of about 75º.
What I want to know is: is it better to use a cylinder or a motor to do this movement?
There's a picture below of the axis that I need to rotate, with the structure that...
Hello there!
My name is Gustavo, and I'm from Brazil. I'm an electrical engineer here, but I'm currently working on a steelmill plant. So I'm currently on the industrial sector, and an engineer at this sector is normally turned to work at improvement on the process, study the process and other...
Hello there!
I'm on a project to develop a rolling table with chains and gears. But the application needs more speed than torque. That's because the load that it will carry is not so heavy, but the speed that we need it to be transport is importat.
My question is, can I use a motor with an...
Hello there!
My name is Gustavo and I'm from Brazil. I have a degree on Electrical Engineer and currently working on steel mill plant as a junior engineer. But my dream is to immigrate to Canada.
I want to know if as an Electrical Engineer I have a good chance to work there. And is there any...
Hello there!
I'm an Electrical Engineer here in Brazil, currently working on a steel mill plant. I'm working on the wire drawing sector.
Our main problem is to disentangle wires to process them. So we have wires that range from 8 mm to 10 mm of diameter.
This disentangle is currently being made...
