I had this in another section with no bites so trying it here.
I have a machine idea that I am gauging the feasibility and cost of right now. It would consists of a indexing conveyor controlled by a stepper, stepper with encoder, or servo (have not decided yet). It will index parts under a...
I have a machine idea that I am gauging the feasibility and cost of right now. It would consists of a indexing conveyor controlled by a stepper, stepper with encoder, or servo (have not decided yet). It will index parts under a tyvek web in which the parts will get a tyvek seal (thus joining the...
Good morning everyone! I am designing an automation project in which I load tubes onto a core for an injection molding machine. I have designed a hopper for the tubes (roughly 3/8" OD, 33" long hollow PVC). Unfortunately I had a feeling the design would result in this but the only way I would...
Yes acade would be the format of choice but like I said, I don't do enough electrical work to warrant the price of that software. I have spoken with larger automation houses in the past and some of their EE's have said they get by with just plain autocad for wiring diagrams. You do not get the...
xnuke, sorry for the confusion. This was a .jpg I grabbed off the web to show what style of wiring schematic I am inquiring about. I am familiar with proper wiring techniques/code and have done small scale automation projects. Usually my wiring diagrams are lackluster hence trying to do a better...
I was wondering if someone can help me by giving a .dwg file of a wiring schematic as an example where I can build off of and use as a starting place. Also if someone could tell me the formal name/type of schematic/diagram that is pictured in the attached file...
I have a machine that is single phase 240vac operation. Power in is L1,L2, and the grounding conductor. I would like to step down the voltage to 120vac so i can power a single convenience outlet meant to only power a small ionizing fan that is to be used on the unit.
The control transformer is...
3DDave, how is A interpreted as the center plane?
I have to disagree on the parts not meeting the print cant work, I have physical evidence of that. that being said I have the opportunity to obviously open up some tolerances. Since this lever rotates about "b", as long as the 3.956 dimension is...
This is not a post machined part. For the most part, we are achieving the tolerance to print from the injection mold. The most critical feature is the nub and it was a good thing I started questioning it because it proved to be out of tolerance.
3DDave; There is no sorting as currently, there...
I appreciate all the responses. This part is actually an injection molded part. The issue with this part is it has been manufactured since the 90's and I am the first one to question this feature for being out of tolerance. My initial assumptions (based on DOE's) about the feature being out were...
A is the face that is facing us in the picture, c is the top surface of the part as seen in the picture. C is the surface this nub feature is physically connected to
Yes that was my gut feeling of just trig-ing out the X basic, since they are "true" numbers it should not affect the tolerance. Thank you for the sanity check. This means i AM measuring right which also means that there is problems with these parts.
That brings me to my next question, the...
I am trying to figure out how to setup this TP callout using an optical CMM (OGP). I would be able to do it if both basic dimensions were on datum axis but the basic dimensions for the TP callout is on Y and a straight line basic dimension.
I guess the question can pertain to using the...
