    Looking for software/hardware package to control Solenoids/Actuators

    Could I use a "Smart Relay" to do this? http://www.us.telemecanique.com/products/Machine_Control/Relays_Timers/Logic_Relay/index.html The consensus here is that I don't need a PC to do the job, however it will be complicated getting 4 relays to fire at the right time. I am looking into PLC's...

    My board never gave me any time line, dates or anything. They just said to take the exams and then apply for PE. I am just trying to figure out how or what to study while I am waiting up to 12 weeks for results! I need to start learning about the format of the PE anyway, as I was 100% focused...

    Cuttoff off 3/4" "cane" shaft of .1" wall thickness

    We are doing a production line. I am planning on designing support for both sides of the cut. One concept is to mount it into a pin for support. How many teeth on your blade?

    Question: FE Review Manual Edition (FERM vs FERM2)

    Hi all, I am wanting to get ready again for the FE test. I bought the FERM by Lindeburgh a while ago and it is edition #1. It looks like there is a 2nd edition out. Do I need to upgrade to this one, or will the 1st edition work?. What are the differences? Are they significant? I am taking...
