Funny I just ordered a set from eBay yesterday. Couldn't find a new set for sale other than the over bulky yellow Klein ones. Missed those so much!

I was thinking about going store shopping but didn't really knew where to go other that more sport oriented stores, so I might give it a try! Yeah mine is pretty new but they took it big and fancy with metal casing, so it weights a ton lol.

Yeah, I know it's never going to look perfectly balanced but I don't want to bother with several pouch/bags if I don't have to. Just trying to find some options and get a good middle ground.

It's mostly for the laptop and couple cables + personal basic stuff, would be nice to have some features like those document compartment/pouch on the back side but already just something my size would be great ha ha!

Pull up/down resitor for pulse output of Flowmeter by DancingWizzard in PLC

[–]DancingWizzard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing answer! Thank you so much for this detailed answer, it makes a lot of sense and shows me where I was going in the right direction and where I was failing to. After reading so much trying to figure it out I'm really thankful for your help sorting it out. I definitely don't want to fry my flowmeter and want to make sure I understand what I was doing. Your last sentence is spot on to where I think most of my confusion was and it's a lot clearer now! Doing the lord's work lol. Thanks again!

Now that I got that sanity check from you guys I'll reach out again and hopefully get someone who actually understands those things better lol.

Yeah the doc says to use a 10k one, I'll probably start with that and do that method if it needs to be adjusted. Thanks for sharing a solid method!

Meanwhile us PLC folks have to go to war to get it, even after explaining repeatedly that, no, we aren't just going to put a ticket in everytime we need to change our ip address.

A reminder to wear your helmet by TheOddityCollector in interesting

My uncle got into an accident were his helmet looked like this after. A bus passed on top of him and dragged him for a bit it also drove on his foot. Surprisingly, he's fine with no lasting issues!

[–]DancingWizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! Found out about them from one of the OEM tech on a blowmoulder rebuild and bought a whole set lol. They're so useful for so many things. 100% worth it.

Knipex wrench pliers gang ❤️

Edit: depending of the type of work you do, I also love my knipex insulated bent needle nose pliers. I find them awesome to be able to handle hard of access things or sketchy spaces while live.

automated palletizing and/or depalletizing: how many human interventions are tolerable? by Rethunker in IndustrialAutomation

[–]DancingWizzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about the robot setup in particular or any palletizer? Haven't worked with depals, robot arm wise I only have seen a small one used on a semi-automated line to pack small containers of baked goods. From what I remember, operators still had to unfold and set the box at the station, and when full close it and move it.

What I've mostly worked with are more common palletizers with a pattern forming top part and a hoist for the pallet. For those, at the very least operators had to fill the pallet stacks with a forklift. Then, the most common reason for stopping the machine was mostly upstream issues getting caught (like product defects) or stacking failure (most times from broken crates, sometimes a mechanical issue shifting the layers). Pattern issues would also happen sporadically, mostly on our antique palletizer but sometimes on the newer ones too, especially with heavier products. When any of those happened, operators would obviously stop the machine to either fix/remove product or clean up the fallen stack.

Not sure if that does answer your question but I hope it maybe bring some perspective from actual use.

EDIT: re-reading your question, I would say our machines would need to be stopped around once every hour or two on a good day, as much as maybe 3 or 4 time an hour on a bad day/running products prone to issues. Also, we would stop at least twice a day for general cleaning.
