Maintenance Management is all about using the tools
available to us to deliver the best for the organization in
which we work. No two orgnainzations are the same; even
different plants within the same company will operate under
different circumstances. We must manage the situation as it
appears to us — no two Managers will (should) act the same
way. That […]

I recently came across an interesting discussion at
eng-tips.com on the topic of what is the best
experience-based and easy-to-use servo-drive-programming
software package.
Let me summarize this discussion:
The original questioner had experience with PacSci’s
800Tools for a PC833 drive. He (and his company) hated it!
Perhaps the drive is too basic to easily do what his company
wanted it to do. They […]

If you are an environmental testing company, your equipment
may need periodic calibration or other services including
repair, upgrading, rebuilding, installation, training and
replacement. Your test equipment may include environmental
test chambers, reactors, baths, incubators, laboratory ovens
and furnaces, and vibrational shakers. Here are a few
companies that offer such services.
 

According to one popular basement water proofer
(Mid-Atlantic basements) here’s the scoop:

If you contract to service one (1) or two (2) walls, this
company will do its best to perform the service within one
(1) to one and one-half (1-1/2) days. If you contract to
service four (4) walls, you may expect the service team to
work two (2) - […]

What are the risks if wet basements are not repaired? Quite often, homeowners have either ignored or were unaware of potential water problems while continuing to rebuild or remodel their basement. Newly-created recreation rooms, dens and bedrooms are often ruined due to dampness or wetness. Warped paneling, molded or mildewed furniture, lifted floor tile or […]

HOUSEHOLD ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING SERVICES performed with or without a home inspection.
What could be more important than environmental safety in the home? That’s what many home-inspection companies claim. Yes, they are trying to sell you something. So beware of the hype. That said, there is justifiable science to back up a few of these claims. I […]

Motion control Basics
Motion control is a type of automation in which the position and/or velocity of actuators, usually electric motors, are controlled.
The common architecture of a motion-control system is:
- a motion-control board to generate the trajectory and close the position loop, sometimes also the velocity loop (this is also known as servo control)
- a drive […]

What is Electromagnetic Compatibility EMC testing / Electromagnetic Interference EMI testing?
According to TUV, “Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is a product’s ability to reliably perform within its intended electromagnetic environment and to accept or emit RF disturbances within defined parameters in the electromagnetic spectrum. In general, EMC testing can be divided into two sub-categories:
- electromagnetic immunity / […]
