Any industrial engineering fans here?

No, all in my head, and then a custom 2D package. We are moving to 3D modelling in the next few weeks so that is even more numbers floating around in there as the design has to be conceptualised before modelling it on the screen. It is all about balancing flows i the liquid and flexes in the former

It sounds very similar to the we do with hot melt adhesives, we don't tend to build the actual die because that's very specialised, of course as you know only too well

I work with smaller engines and plant now, but have run ships with large engines, such as Sulzer RND90

All the stuff I draw currently is machinable geometry. The CAD side has been developed in house over about 20 years on the back of CAM software.

The new one I'm going to be trained on is Creo. I did a couple of years of Autocad in the late 90's and dabbled a bit in 3D then. We manufacture all the stuff in house, and that can and does go anywhere in the world.

Nah, we didn't invent it, that happened about fifty years ago, we did make it bloody brilliant though!

It may look simple but it's brilliant for:

• Salvage winding
• Recycling waste product (by trimming)
• Correcting badly wound rolls (by web guiding)
• Defect removal (using splice table)
• Print inspection
• Winding to length
• Winding from one core size to another
• Correction tension on rolls
• Trimming
• Changing print orientation

you missed out re-winding after puppies have been playing.

I never fail to point out to the inky-fingered clerking classes, that everything they use from ball-point to lap-top was designed and made by an Engineer.

Aye. And it were engineers built t'dark satanic mills tha knows..

Every Ford brake disc made in Europe is measured using an intrument I designed. Ive managed the development of a Scanning White Light Interferometer capable of imaging sheets of atoms, and now I make equipment that runs at 70kV and powers whole sections of railway. So I do have a passing interest in Engineering.

Wow, you designed the ruler!?

Oooo trouble at mill, one of flay rods has gone owt of skew ont treadle!

And the first loom on the left isn't running

Nay, lad. It were "Businessmen" wot built them.

I have a few investment castings of GPMG components from moulds that I designed. (1968/9).

Were they Lenze encoders on the first machine?

There are better Turret Rewinders on the market.
