Sensor protection
 |
by Theodore Georgiadis - 16.5.2008
Sensors are used almost for every application in industry. Sensors make our job easier since they provide us many solutions. Sensors perform very well if and only machine designers provide protection against workshop hazards. This article describes a few design principles for sensor protection.

Calculating the radius of a cylindrical milling cutter
 |
by Theodore Georgiadis - 17.12.2005
This article describes a method for calculating the radius (or diameter) of cylindrical spiral, disc, angle, slitting and form cutters
when the cutting depth and the boundaries of the milling cut feature are known.

Calculating sine bar slips - Method B
 |
by Theodore Georgiadis - 2.12.2005
Sine bar slips are usually given in the form of tables with standard sine chucks. But often lack of such tables drives engineers to calculate the required sine bar slip. |
Calculating sine bar slips - Method A
 |
by Theodore Georgiadis - 2.12.2005
Sine bar slips are usually given in the form of tables with standard sine chucks. But often lack of such tables drives engineers to calculate the required sine bar slip. This calculation method depends on known factors.
With above dimensions angle can be calculated in a simple triangle:
For sine bar calculation is the required angle which must be produced with a given sine bar length:
is known from above calculation. Again, relating to a triangle, we now have related as a sine function using the sine bar:

A beveled (rocking) washer equalizes form inaccuracies
 |
by Theodore Georgiadis - 2.12.2005
Often in precision assembly (especially in tooling) we find difficulties to tighten components with form inaccuracies. In order to minimize total inaccuracies we have to grind all surfaces, which in turn increases the cost. |
An old good principle
 |
by Theodore Georgiadis - 2.12.2005 - 1 comments
Perhaps the simplest and most valued drafting principle is the old one: “anything that can be sketched can also be calculated”. For many years before (and after) the wide spread of cad-cam (computer aided design and manufacturing), designers in all areas of production used plain trigonometry for calculating the basic dimensions of a design.
