Thank you everyone for your help! I am going to run a few tests and see what the best strategy is. It looks like I may make a subroutine for the farthest left and right parts and one for the parts in the middle. Then on the next row, do something similar but not cutting the bottom edge (as it...
That is hilarious you'd say that. "It sounds like you are using laser because you have it."
We bought the laser partially based on saying this would save us money cutting these. Prior to this we bought 2" flat stock bars, stacked the bars 4 high, and using a saw cut them 4 at a time.
There...
Thank you both! You are correct, the tolerances on these parts are pretty generous. Also, in addition to the material savings, it should cut down on the time in the laser since it would be sharing edges.
I was thinking of manually programming these since the SW is not cooperating. I would love...
To simplify this question, let's assume we have a square shaped part.
2" x 2" x 0.25
This part will be welded on all 4 sides, so the edge quality is of little importance.
The software we use is requiring a gap between parts. The machine has sensors that supposedly will "perfectly" square up...
Something like this but without the T part. (This would work if we weren't buying lanyards already crimped into a loop. Looking for something super cheap to make adding these lanyards faster in the manufacturing process.
Currently we drill a hole in a 3/8 piece of aluminum just to holt a t-handle in place while its not in use. What I am thinking of is something like a tire balance weight that just crimps to the metal but I can't find what I am looking for. See pictures below...
You are awesome! I poked through this idea. We currently have castings that prohibit the threaded portion from becoming longer. So alas... your great idea won't work for us "as-is". (See top image below).
But... it may (may) be possible to install one of these rings before we thread it in. The...
Again thank you for this. I looked on their website and I did not find the application you were referring to. I did contact Smalley's engineers. They too were not sure. Do you have examples of what you are referencing?
How are your labels being made? Does it come from a database or are they all being put in by hand.
My thought is
Put a barcode on the part being shipped.
Put a barcode on the Box or Package it must be shipped in.
The user scans each bar code with a PC near by
The computer does a cross check to...
I am designing a device that uses treads to allow the user to set variable distances from the source item by simply threading and unthreading a "bolt". The problem is, the user could potentially unthread it too far which could lead to damage and personal injury.
As you can see in screen shot...
