    Hydraulic Autocouplers?

    I am looking for hydraulic couplers that can be attached to a machine and the component that slides in. The idea is that when the component slides in it mates with the machine and makes a leak free connection. Thanks in advance!

    Cleaning Paint Jigs

    I'll look up that fluidized bed process. Sounds like it could have some real potential! Thanks to everyone!

    Cleaning Paint Jigs

    The suggestions are great so far. I am currently investigating the dry ice blasting. As for the added 9 seconds per bumper to clean jigs...that is a lot of time. This is how I figure it: (9 sec/bumper) x (2 bumpers/car) x 2,000,000 (cars/year) = (10,000 hrs cleaning jigs/year) Figure in...

    Cleaning Paint Jigs

    Taking the jigs offline isn't a problem. The biggest problem is the cost of having someone spend 15 mins a jig to clean them with the high pressure water and the safety concerns with running the high pressure lance.

    Cleaning Paint Jigs

    Plastic wrapping has been tried before and it has a hard time holding up through the drying ovens. The last time it was tried, the paint lines were shut down for almost 2 weeks to decontaminate the booths when the plastic degraded and broke apart! I'm interested in the dry ice and plasma...

    Cleaning Paint Jigs

    These jigs are used to paint bumpers. Our standards require that the jig must be cleaned every 100 cycles which includes a primer, color, and top coat. This process needs to work for both water based and petroleum based paints. The biggest reason for the cleaning is to reduce contamination in...

    Cleaning Paint Jigs

    Anyone have any ideas on how to clean paint jigs used in automotive paint booths? I'm open to all ideas. Current way includes 36,000psi water spray and it destoys the jigs. Thanks!

    Marking for Elevation Change?!

    We are installing raised platforms and need to have some sort of yellow marking around the edge to show that there is a change in elevation. It needs to me something that can be installed, not painted, and the idea of a sticker has been thrown out. The platform material is fiberglass and about...
