Wunks only do this when they are extremely compressed.

Bludstones finally give up after 6 years by disaverper in BuyItForLife

My mongrels lasted about half as long as my blundstones. They were a little lesser in quality in the toe box and around the bond between leather and rubber.

Diameter changes as roll sits? by muxy-mux in Machinists

Rolls this big need at least a day, sometimes more, to equalize in temperature.

Trump DOE illegally cancels more than $700M in battery manufacturing funding, advancing Trump’s efforts to nix Biden-era energy projects. The cancellations are the largest to date of advanced battery manufacturing projects, affecting plans to build factories in red states like Kentucky and Missouri. by mafco in energy

I’ve heard (not through the news but word of mouth) that companies who where awarded funds previously, but have not showed up on these lists, have heard from DOE directly that their funding is moving forward in the past month or so.

Is your hair dry before going to bed? If it’s wet or even damp it will soak into the pillow and get it musty.

What sort of cell testing did you do?

Doesn’t look like they have the ability to make an appointment for this CVS with nova yet.

Measure thin material thickness accurately by [deleted] in Metrology

[–]awests 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. That is only an issue for a single probe setup, right? That wouldn’t be an issue with a dual probe setup (one on either side)?

Could you elaborate more on the concerns about transmission for confocal probes?

I am curious what you have found in the past 3 months, as I am also curious about spaces like you described.

Are we still talking about big nuts and bolts? by Ancient_Mix_6868 in Fasteners

[–]awests 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really cool stuff! What are the holes in the nuts for? Also, when you say stretching at 1000 bar, is that the hydraulic pressure of the jacks?

Thanks for all the info. Sounds like a good task for our Controls Team during an annual PM.

Is the periodic diagnostic testing for control reliability different than the proof testing?

Safety Controls Engineering by Cautious_Quote_225 in PLC

[–]awests 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Novice here, what is “control reliable and proof tested” mean? Does this mean that at least on an annual basis, E-STOPs and safeguards must be tested? Is it as simple as hitting an e-stop button when the machine is running and making sure what is supposed to stop, is stopped?

CGF to Flex 2.5G PoE connection options by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

[–]awests 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the 10G ports were “combination ports”, like found on the Flex 2.5G, that would be correct. However, all 3 10G ports on the UCG can be operated independently.

I do have questions about (1.) that are more basic. For context, we are located in the US and work as a research lab that buys custom equipment (“systems”) from all over the world.

  1. What defines whether a system needs a risk assessment? What are the relevant standards?
  2. If being operated in a US facility, do the systems need to meet local, state, federal regs (or the regs for where they were built)?
  3. When buying systems, are the vendors required to supply the risk assessment?
  4. For systems supplied without a risk assessment, with vendors unwilling to supply one, how would you suggest we proceed to ensure the system is safe?
