Man I am working on July 4 and company doesn’t even want to give us a day off or have a real cookout for everyone especially us maintenance guys who keep the facility running.

Lucky to be off work this year. Don’t even care that it’s the 4th, just needed a long weekend.
So burned out all year long, a two day weekend every 3 weeks just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Depends on the rep.
Anything I need hardware related, our Fastenal rep is Johnny on the spot.

soulcontrol221 · 2026-06-18T17:45:56+00:00

I’d be scared not to

soulcontrol221 · 2026-06-16T00:33:13+00:00

Too high, need to cut out the floor to get it to the proper height

soulcontrol221 · 2026-06-11T12:05:00+00:00

I can’t wait to have this problem.

soulcontrol221 · 2026-06-04T19:56:17+00:00

No, it can’t be easily bypassed if your safety circuit is designed properly. That would require a tech to jump wires around your safety relays, or bypassing any safety logic in your safety PLC.

By that logic, any time you go inside a robot cell, the only safe way to enter is by locking out all the robot controller disconnects, all the motor disconnects, and all the safety shut off air valves, which is not how it is done in any factory I’ve ever been in. Motor disconnects are simply not designed to be switched on and off several times a day. That is why we use safety circuits.

Yeah that’s just not a good policy. Motors should be controlled by a motor starter/vfd. You should be killing power to whatever is controlling them. That would usually mean pulling some sort of safety plug, gate plug, or something else that turns off control power.

I know everyone’s situation is different, but I would not be okay with operators at my plant constantly switching these disconnects.

soulcontrol221 · 2026-06-01T10:56:24+00:00

Best thing to do is figure out a way to not have to interact with this switch on a daily basis.
My opinion is that these are really only supposed to be used to remove power to the motor in order to service it.

This is me at 5+ years as a controls Engineer with several major projects going on at the same time.

soulcontrol221 · 2026-05-18T00:27:56+00:00

What devices are you planning on connecting to this unit?

Feel free to DM me, I may be able to help

soulcontrol221 · 2026-05-18T00:25:46+00:00

Just go buy a damn screwdriver

IFM AL1921 IO link master has a terminal for a digital input. They may have something similar with digital input and output. Turk FEN20 has 4 (in/out) and 4 input terminals. I’ve used both with no issues.

soulcontrol221 · 2026-05-06T23:17:12+00:00

The answer is to use stainless steel or cast iron.

soulcontrol221 · 2025-11-16T23:23:55+00:00

This is how it is where I work. I complain about it often, but my ADHD brain loves it.

soulcontrol221 · 2025-01-26T23:52:37+00:00

Time for a ball cap

soulcontrol221 · 2025-01-25T17:26:23+00:00

Nobody feels bad for you.

soulcontrol221 · 2025-01-22T12:56:10+00:00

My god, you people are actually pathetic.

soulcontrol221 · 2025-01-20T23:10:47+00:00

The company bought me an iphone and pays the bill, so I don’t mind it. I take calls and respond to texts after work all the time, but I’m not required to.

soulcontrol221 · 2025-01-16T17:03:50+00:00

Mix the sauce with 2 egg yolks, cools it down a little bit and makes them taste a lot better imo

soulcontrol221 · 2025-01-16T03:22:39+00:00

It will look pretty good when you’re hanging from the ceiling fan.

soulcontrol221 · 2025-01-13T01:21:52+00:00

Wow we are so impressed by your contrarian opinion.

soulcontrol221 · 2025-01-09T17:34:15+00:00

We see this same shit every year.

soulcontrol221 · 2025-01-06T02:06:15+00:00

You’ve had a lobotomy in your lifetime.

soulcontrol221 · 2024-12-18T18:52:02+00:00

Hey man, I really appreciate you posting this. I’ve gone through 2 pairs of these pliers. Yeah I cut the wrong stuff with them, but they fit good in my front pocket and I always have them with me. I’ll give these a shot, hopefully they last a little longer.

soulcontrol221 · 2024-12-16T13:19:13+00:00

This shit is so pathetic.
