I designed several types of product sorters in the medical and grain industries.
However I don't think that a single machine can do both. I guess it depends on the requirements.
In general products can be sorted by size/shape, material properties, weight and color. Integration of all four...
In a way tolerances of a feature need to be based on some degree of surface finish. One can't expect a tolerance of 0.001" on a part that is cut with an oxi-acetylene torche.
How does one link the two (tolerance & finish) requirements is not so easy however the relation in my opinion is a...
Let me put my two cents in the discussion.
I assume that either the pumps are connected to a common manifold, souce the water from the same reservoir and use the same return diverter pipe.
This diverter pipe has some sort of porportional valve that can be controlled by an input signal.
The pumps...
As I understand, your system will maintain circulation of a fluid through a system for a period of time using the same fluid.
You need a fluid system similar to a cooling system in a sense that the volume of liquid in the system needs to be large enough as to maintain the pump flow rate with...
What type of power source will you use?
We designed a self contained fluid delivery system that can be programmed as a unit. However these product needs at least a 12 volts power source.
If one was to provide some type of solar charger than a system can be built. Never looked at the cost of...
I think that such development has been done. There are several different types of valves in the market that operate shut off due to vibration or sudden increase of flow.
We were involved in the development in 1989 and dropped out the race.
