The programming in the machine we are trying to communicate with is written in a combination of forth and hexadecimal machine code. As far as the formatting goes, we can write the software for the single board computers to format it anyway we need to, so we have a lot of flexibility there. The...

Hello, I have some injection molded plastic parts that I need to test (non-destructive) for voids. The parts measure 1.775in x 0.850in dia. Because the parts are made from a mix of materials, weight and density are not always linked to the presence of voids. Presence of voids does not always...
Having the camera looking through a window of some sort is not a problem, I have used acrylic many times in the past for this pourpuse. My plastics guy is sending me samples of several materials for testing. I figure I will just soak the pieces in a solution of sodium hypochlorite and see...
That would be great if you could find out. I am not worried about contact to the chemicals themselves (possible but not likely) just damage from the fumes.
I am designing some inspection equipment for a bleach bottling plant (sodium hypochlorite) and I am looking for a clear plastic material that will survive the enviroment. The plastic material will be used to house some camera equipment and so must remain optically clear. I already have speced...
