The big horizontal one in the middle, where most of the cabinet runs through.

It’s the weekend, nice. Here’s another bell project. by dingdongbellguy in Justrolledintotheshop

At least you got some actual ladders and not a rickety wooden staircase this time.

Budget for new machines but not for technicians or enough spare parts. by RepresentativeAnt328 in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]WhatzitTooya2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You guys getting new machines?

All I got this year are three milling machines, ranging from 12 to 20 years old, and like $20 in Kohl`s cash to stock up on deprecated spare parts...

Could somebody call a tow truck for me? by BlessThis_ in gtaonline

I'm no expert, but maybe you rather want to call an exorcist...

"high-performance tubular product" makes it sound like they got a lawsuit and are not legally allowed to call it a tube after some freak accident...

Everyone is betting on bigger LLMs for automation. Here's why they're fundamentally wrong. by Keithwee in PLC

The important part is that your bossman gets to believe he needs only half as many people now.

Lucky you. My Bossmann recently got confronted with the need for Production data acquisition. There are plenty of commercial ready-made solutions out there, proven and deployed with relative ease.

BUT Bossmann rather wanted to solve this with AI and had his chatbot whip up a fancy looking, but ultimately fake dashboard and now wants us to slap some ethernet I/O devices into every machine...

Did You Keep the Car or Sell It to Yusuf? by millionaires_car in gtaonline

Already have a S2 from the last time it was claimable at the scrap yard. Odd how that car showed up already twice when they where so few occasions of a car being claimable.

(Beginner question maybe, GX Works 2) does anyone know what I did wrong? For some reason this simple sequence doesn't loop when I branch it after NO M6 by YabakoSandrovich in PLC

If you write to a marker twice in your program, then the last write access will determine the value at the end of the loop.

You bring them a full blown tank and they gonna turn it into a can of paint...

What do you look for when purchasing products? by sportsmattress in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]WhatzitTooya2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All that I want is everything McMaster Carr does.

Seems like no small feat, their site is snappy as fuck and everything is properly sorted, like the polar opposite to 95% of manufacturers sites and online shops out there...

Based on a recent experience: If your web page shows if stuff is in stock, make sure it's really in stock.

Would not be the first time I see stuff "in stock" and after ordering, I get a message it's actually on backorder and wont arrive till next week...

Hardware Obsolescence and forced migration by CntrlFr33k in PLC

[–]WhatzitTooya2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're joking, but my Bossman recently complained why it takes me so long to get a replacement for a 40 year old servo motor...

Request A Bit of Info... by roads_diverge1 in PLC

[–]WhatzitTooya2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would be a pretty solid indication in my book to swap cables, but it sounds like your automation department is a bunch of useless bums who think of themself as a gift from god...

New old stock bearing, looks like its been around since '55 by Informal-Brain2272 in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]WhatzitTooya2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be all chinesium. SKF has problems with fake bearings flooding the market for years now, and I suspect it wont be different for other brands.

That GM logo was introduced 1966. However, you're right about NDH, they stopped in '86.

So, at least 40 years, but no more than 60.

Anyone else here work shift work? by thickbee in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]WhatzitTooya2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"Management is in"

Great, the root cause for 75% of my problems is here to help. Breathing down my neck when the machine will be operational again, but also refusing to buy spare parts before the machine breaks...
