I only told this to our CEO because he asked for the assessment of the company (SWOT). So it's all friendly. I'm thinking of possible solutions for this problems, but I'm only asking here to see if any of you already successfully implemented some solutions at your companies. But thanks to...

Hello everyone, I'm relatively young mechanical engineer. On my mentoring program I told our CEO that company agility (when it comes to changing something, or doing something) is very poor. Also I told him that interdepartmental communication is not at very high level. He is a smart man and...

I'm not in management. I'm part of the design department. That is how I know about the productivity and the lack of it. We are really good friends with my coworkers, but by reading a lot of books (atomic habits)I believe we can become much better department. That is why I was asking for your help.

Hello fellow engineers! I'm looking at ways to improve our mechanical design department. We build different type of machines - automation lines. We are a large firm, but this department is fairly new and I was hoping you may have any tips on how to improve productivity, communication...

Hello everyone. We have a problem with motor noise in production during the testing of the product (motor). We would like to decrease the noise in the tester and are looking at possible solution for sound proofing. Currently we see three possible solutions: 1.) We add a lifting doors on a...

Thank you @MintJulep! This will be very useful. And also thanks to you @Ctopher.

Hello engineers, Could you help me explain this pneumatic symbol: I would wish to know what exactly are this three marked things: I know there is solenoid but I'm not exactly sure what the other symbols are and how this valve operates? For example here is similar one, but without...

Hello everyone, I have a simple question. I'm mechanical design engineer beginner and I'm wondering, is it better to design parts with fillets or with chamfers? Bellow are a couple of examples. Thank you for your help and have a happy holidays!

@3DDave thank you for your insight. I will look into it!

Hello, do maybe any of you have any tips on how to quickly export pdf&dxf&stp from windchill or from a drawing? We store all the parts in the same drawing under the different sheets. When we need to manufacture this parts we need to create pdf&dxf&stp, which takes a lot of time because we...

Hello everyone. The system bellow is used to wind the cartoon strip. We will use the same system, but it will be placed vertical. That is why I need to add a second sheet metal plate on the right side of the yellow part, so that when in vertical position the cartoon strip won't fall off...

Thank you very much guys. This really answers all my questions!

I have a question about price of a manufactured part. I would only need one. Probably made with milling. I'm creating a new design for a tool on the picture bellow: Would it be cheaper to manufacture this design from one part, or to manufacture separate parts (5 parts in total) and assemble...

Hello everyone. I have a flexible assembly inside my assembly. The flexible assembly is ITEM Clamp Lever 0.0.601.13 (angle of the clamp lever can be modified). But what I want is to be able to change this flexibility anytime I use my main assembly. So for example,one time I use the assembly...

Thank you all for your input! I think I will try to use hand crank screw jack as suggested. But first I need to check it in my models and do some calculations. Again, thank you all.

For now there is about 8 different motor heights, but this might change as additional models arrive. The change will happen let's say 1-2 times a shift. Request is not to use different adaptors (collars) so I would like to find a different solution. I'm looking at possibility to use a small...

No, the scissor lift will lift the entire unit, but I need to additionally lift only the yellow fixture in the middle (which carries the motor). Motor is about 2 kg heavy.

Thanks for your answer. You understood correctly. Forces are just vertical. In the previous version, it just sat on the red shaft yes. But now there is no need for a red shaft if we found a different solution. We could use different adaptors (collars as you said) but then this adapters will...
