Thanks guys.

Hey guys, New question today. I have been working with the weld engineers in coming up with a way to make worn fixture pins in our automated weld cells noticeable when worn beyond the min sizes. Currently we use calipers or micrometers (very rarely mics) to measure the pin. Obviously with a...

expensive and rarely used tools we keep with the maint. leader, who is then responsible for it and those don' have a tendency to disappear, and in the stock room as checkout and check in, since our stock room is manned 3 shifts it works. Thanks for the good ideas.

Bill- Always working on those problems. This was something an operator was asking about a solution since they "always" had to go search for a set. I am no where near 4 hours everyday thank goodness, our downtime is reflected in pieces produced with a 60s cycle time. I have other issues I am...

Yea thats the same problem we have. Its not even a set period for inspecting the shadow boards, it could be a day an hour or a year but man that thing disappears and no one knows who / what took it. The maint manger suggested to figure out a way to interlock it so the machine physically is...

In, well, all of my cells we run into an issue were the specific tool "wonders" away. The specific one I am focusing on today is Welpers, or mig weld pliers. We have tried chains and they get broken ect and the welpers wonder to another workcenter ect ect. So other than trying a heavier...

I will. I am thinking I will get it going early in the new year so we'll see.

Thanks Ripz. I have two different ones coming in to look at the application.

Thank you Ripz. That was what I was trying to get at. I am working on the Root Cause, but I NEED to figure out a quality control. Out is roughly 24 feet a minute, about 4 parts a minute, 2000ish a shift (7.4 hours). The problem I am having is not in mass quantity (where die penetration in a...

I was looking at those and I do not think they can keep up unfortunately. Any experience with the eddy current?

Hi Bill, Thanks for the answer. It is a harder steel (martinsite structure. Working on methods of eliminating the cracking within the means, cant change the steel since its specified, it doesn't crack in the rolls, it cracks in the sweep. Its thought that the mill slows down during the...

Hey guys, I work as an engineer where we use roll form lines to produce a beam. I was trying to investigate different methods for automated inspection at the unload table. An operator currently visually inspects the beam, and packs it. I would like to start by looking for cracks in the beam...
