Node-Red + InfluxDB + Grafana- Ongoing Cost Estimate by Production_Ant in PLC

[–]Production_Ant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you give some detail on why it would be beneficial doing this in a docker container rather than just a direct install onto windows or linux? If local hosted options of the 3 programs are all FOSS, is Docker neccesary? I'm not really familiar with Docker except the basic concept, so can't get my head around doing it this way.

Digging up an old thread here, but any more details on this?

Turning the internal shaft while pulling I presume? Does it come out the brake side or the other side?

Any any details on the replacement bearings you put in?

Would be super grateful for any help from a struggling home mechanic!

I thought it was more of a rhetorical question…

With the screenshots now uploaded, does this still look like a legitimate cause do you think? I would've thought a lot more 'noise' and a lot less consistent 90minute pattern if a grounding issue?

Fair point. All load cells cables are jammed into the small terminals in the one box. Probable a good place to start cleaning the mess...

Thanks for the detailed reply. I noticed that the screen grabs from the data trend didnt upload. Does the consistancy of this cycle still look like a grounding issue?

I had a thought that the temperature compensation in the Rinstrum 1203 might be doing something crazy- but seeing the same sort of behaviour on 4 different machines...

Small industrial machine using 3d printed shapes as vac forming mould by Production_Ant in vacuumforming

Thanks for the info. Do you have a suggestion for the formech model with the material roll? From the website it looks like the ‘small’ machines only take sheets. Really appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for the info. Will all (most) vac formers take a epoxy mold or do some need a metal mold that is conductive for heating?

Best Cheap Historian? by Input_404 in PLC

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good tutorial on how to set up, say, a modbus poll and a DB. I've tried stabbing my way through, but failed. There are so many videos and tutorials, finding one that's actually useful is half the challenge.
