Thanks. I got it now. I always just drew everything to scale and didn't worry about the scale when printing it. I'm dealing with some vendors now that don't even use CAD or email...when I give them drawings they want to know the scale.
Tell your daughter there is no better place to go to...
Thanks everyone. I'm still having trouble grasping this for some reason. When I look at the properties of the viewport, I see "custom". This is basically due to zooming out enough that I get the entire drawing. If I change that scale factor for the viewport to (1/8" = 1') for instance, I do...
Thanks. I've read the Hytrol book, and I'm familiar with layouts and basic parts of various types of conveyors. I'm just not sure of stuff like when to use an end-drive motor or whether the motor should be on the discharge or infeed end or even what type of motor is best (TEFC vs. TENV 1 HP...
I've recently started a new job and it's great. My new job consists of doing layouts and engineering systems. The one problem I'm having is there is no training what so ever and I'm the only technical person in the company. I am being asked to problem solve some conveyor issues...but I have...
Wow. Thank you once more. I feel very dumb when talking about electricity.
Is there a "laymens" description of phases? Is 3 phase more energy efficient that 1 phase?
Thanks again.
Thanks David...
99.9% of the motors I'm looking at are 1/2 HP to 1 HP. I'm a little confused what is the difference between 110V, 115V and 120 VAC.
Also, what is a phase?
Why would you sepcify 120 over 240 or 460? Is that just dependant on what type of electricy is running into the...
Hi, I'm far from being an EE and I don't try to be one. I recently took a new position where I'm recommending machinery for warehouses and part of the job is recommending motors. I do have some help available to me through vendors, but I want to be able to speak reasonably intelligently with...
