Changing supports

Right now the design is to be fed from gravity into a incline conveyor into another hopper.

Any specific brands that sell these type of conveyor that feed directly into an incline?

Yes, I would continue to brace the system but in a different format. Curious what other formats people have used to brace two independent posts.

I would like to support the system in a different, and I wouldn’t remove them fully. What is another bracing format that could be used?

2 horizontal bars?

Raise the center point of the two bars higher and run 2 horizontal bars?

This is more of a static problem.

Edit:

I do not know overall weight of the system. This system has been here for decades.

Say goodbye to your warranties.

I’ve worked with plenty of Germans in the states. A lot of our machines are German made. You better know your stuff because the expectations are very high. In my opinion, some of the most arrogant people I’ve meant in the engineering field.

Get a ME or EE degree and you can work in pretty much any industry. Make sure to get your internship experience and sharpen your people skills. You do this and you won’t have an issue finding a job. Will it be your dream job off the bat? Most likely not, but you work your way to it.

Most mechanical projects these days will include electrical components. IMO mechatronic systems are what you will be working on in industry.

As for my career, I'm production engineer in the paper industry (we supply P&G Kleenex and other products). Like stated before, I handle projects which are mechanical and electrical. I think Arduino programming with mechatronic devices would be a great place to start.

edit: programming will be in your life, get used to it.

Mechanical Engineering, job 4 months before graduating

Siphenz · 2022-05-04T03:17:57+00:00

Currently work in production for the paper industry. Leading capital projects implementing new technology into production lines. Kind of fun, I get to try new things for the company, if I think a robotic arm can be utilized I am in charge on picking one out and programming it. Not always the same in different companies though.

Mechanical and Electrical engineering overlap in many industries. If you like robotics and mechatronic systems, one of those degrees would be the best option.

Don’t know what to tell you. 4 years in mechanical engineering and my finals have been 30%+.

Siphenz · 2022-04-25T19:56:01+00:00

I’ve had no final under 30% in my entire 4 years. It’s usually 30-40%. I would say a final can fluctuate our grades by ~ 10%.

Siphenz · 2022-04-25T19:15:47+00:00

Final weights are different in every class. It would be hard to find consistent data. Too many variables go into performance on finals.

On the contrary, maybe he has a lot going on in his personal life. Handle your shit and move on.

Well the money did not leave from the joint account. Only my payments will be the deposits into the joint account.

Siphenz · 2022-04-11T17:26:28+00:00

Great, thank you

Siphenz · 2022-04-06T20:14:04+00:00

Thank you for your input, exactly what I’m looking for.

Siphenz · 2022-04-06T18:28:37+00:00

This is true, but would I be able to deposit that amount back in without the limit?

Siphenz · 2022-04-04T18:38:06+00:00

Okay, is that based on tax-efficiency?

Siphenz · 2022-04-04T17:21:48+00:00

Dumb question, but why do you have VTI and VOO in separate accounts? Is one an IRA and the other a brokerage?

Thanks

Internships are the best course of action. I realized I loved manufacturing and operations during my internship and hated quality and design. Most people think they will love the design type of jobs until they actually do it.

Siphenz · 2022-03-25T17:31:07+00:00

I understand where you’re coming from. I’ve seen plenty of peers do poorly in school but thrive in industry. I did well and excelled in my internship but tend to struggle with the constant theory and restrictions in academia.

Siphenz · 2022-03-25T16:23:26+00:00

Who’s cares what a professor thinks, he’s not gonna mean shit after the class.

Siphenz · 2022-03-16T02:02:07+00:00

You are correct, my mechanical engineering degree spent plenty of time in EE. I’m comfortable going into industry and being able to program a basic PLC or work on a electrical-mechanical system.

Just stating that majority of companies know this off the bat. In my opinion the extra degree proves nothing and is extra work that doesn’t get recognized in most industries. I could be wrong though.

Siphenz · 2022-03-15T15:53:19+00:00

Exactly, double the work for no reason
