dvd I think you hit the nail on the head. We hadn't considered moving the spraying equipment. This is likely much easier and safer. Thanks everyone for the advice! Chris

Good ideas! Here are some more details: - Panels are High Strength Concrete so dropping probably is not going to work. - Panels travel in a line, with plenty of room in-between. - The panels weigh up to 800 lbs. - During the fast portion, the entire top side of the panel will need to be...

Hello Everyone, We are currently trying to design a conveyor that will take a panel (180" x 72" x 1" and 800 lbs) from a constantly slow-moving conveyor (10 feet/minute) to a constantly fast-moving conveyor (300 fpm). - The only way I can think to do this is by putting a secondary conveyor...

Fix your drawing as mentioned above then call the manufacturer and ask them. Some shops will be able to bend the part at some radii (probably not 100mm). This part looks like it will have to be rolled, which would be difficult (expensive) with 8mm thick steel. Is the 100mm radius critical...

Are you talking about stamping metal parts? I would start by finding tool and die makers around you and asking them. Chris

If you are already paying for office 365, you can use Sharepoint. I have had success with this in the past. https://blog.mydock365.com/how-to-setup-document-version-control-in-sharepoint Chris

I don't think the problem is that Texas is on its own grid. The problem is that Texans could have invested in resources that would have prevented this from happening and chose not to. This was a choice that was made to save money, which is fine. If you ask me, I'd rather pay a few more cents...

Agreed. You are not going to be able to calculate this. Assuming your ultimate goal is to achieve a certain tension on the cloth, your best bet is probably to find a way to adjust the force on the top roller (maybe a couple of springs and screws, for example). Once you can adjust the force...

Agreed that the force vertically on the cloth is just spring and weight. ndems mentions all of the motor specs, though, so maybe they are looking for tension on the cloth. I'm more concerned that the machine is 1100 meters high... Which forces are you trying to determine and why? Chris

I can only imagine what the (former) Electrician is hearing from his or her manager. If I were this mechanical maintenance engineer, I would be prepared to explain in detail what the repair is, how long it takes, why it is being performed, and perhaps some steps that can be taken to prevent...

Simulation software seems overly complex for this topic. It occurs to me there are only a few actions to time. Loading the Conveyor Unloading the Conveyor Machine Cycle What is the ideal standard work you are trying to develop? Chris

Here is a method I used that might help you. When I was new I would write down everything I wasn't sure of in a notebook. When I got back to my desk, I would do a quick internet search, including the company website, to see what I could learn and write them down. After several days I would...

I am certainly not suggesting that any repair be done unsafely. Indeed all energized equipment conveys some level of a safety risk, and human life should always be valued above all else. However, not all breakdowns present a safety risk. Sometimes a safe repair can be done without determining...

David, It sounds like your particular situation will, in-fact, require you to do the failure testing yourself, especially if you are going to use any thread-locker or anti-seize. The last thing you want to do is recommend a torque that will guarantee no stripping of the head, but not reaching...

I attempted a side hustle as a "freelance" mechanical engineer when I had too few years under my belt. I only had a few fruitful gigs, and they all ended disastrously. One ran out of money partway through the project, prior to a large deliverable, and wanted to back out of the contract...

I understand your struggle with multiple systems that are not integrated and I sympathize with the idea that it is going to be more work for you. It can be very frustrating jumping from one place to another just to gather information. However, it has been my experience that a catch-all system...
