    Machine Modification Help

    Yes. I used 8020 to build a box with holes in it and a vibrator attached. Below I have a slanted box that has a vacuum conveyor I found online. https://www.gamut.com/p/air-conveyor-2-in-for-hose-id-aluminum-1-3-4-in-vacuum-id-NzEzOTQ0 I'll post pics when I'm done.

    Machine Modification Help

    Very cool! Thank you for putting so much effort in that post! I think you two are right. I did a quick fish around and found this http://www.vac-u-max.com/vacProd.cfm?cat=intercept-hoppers-and-pre-separators&prod=MDL622 I think this would be absolutely perfect for my application (I went...

    Hmm that's not a bad idea, is something like this available off the shelf?

    Machine Modification Help

    The company that sold us this were not very impressive to be honest. The tech is decent, but the execution is completely lacking. The yellow hopper is filled with ceramic media and parts, and spins. The parts are then dumped out into a box with filter holes on the bottom. This box is then...

    Machine Modification Help

    I inherited this project, and a lot of the prep work was not done before the device ended up on our floor... (device works by dumping the parts and ceramic media into a basket with filtration holes in the bottom. You shake the basket until all that is left is the parts. We have deburr...

    Grinding two flats question

    Sorry I'm at work, so I'm trying to be quick with my responses... Greenimi: The inspector picks a random side to check, as they would have no way of knowing which side is which on this particular part from operation to operation. They check one side for flatness, and then put the part on that...

    Grinding two flats question

    The part is symmetrical, even the other features. Datum A can be either side. I also included the parallel call out on the 2 inch ref dimension.

    Grinding two flats question

    Thank you Chez311! Greenimi the top system is how it currently. There is no call out for perp. currently the flatness and parallel are the only things on the print. I would say I would need a perpendicularity call out in order to avoid the grinding to push down unequally on the part causing...

    Grinding two flats question

    I have a quick question... I have a process sheet with the GD&T similar to the one above. The process is a fine grinder. We grind one side, and then flip it and do the other side. From what I was taught the bottom is how we are supposed to call it out. Also, both of these don't seem to...

    I'll try this. Thank you!

    Grinding attachments for a CNC Lathe

    We make a lot of smaller components, so most of our equipment is aimed at the 0-3 inch diameter range. Yes one of them has live tooling. I was wondering if we could do this on a jig grinder... set the work piece to over hang the table and rotate it under spindle...

    Grinding attachments for a CNC Lathe

    I was hoping for something that could fit into a CNC lathe turret and be used. By no means does this need to hold tight tolerance. It is currently been done with a hand dermal.

    Grinding attachments for a CNC Lathe

    I have an issue with carrier rings for a large lap table. They require a 45 degree chamfer in order to push the slurry on the table. Problem is that it's approximately a 16.5 inch alumina ring, and we do not have an grinder with a big enough chuck. We do however have a CNC lathe (with turret)...
