If you don’t fear a hydrogen explosion and operate the lift to drain the battery then you might as well use power tools to remove the bus bars.

Helped with a conversion once, and we just melted the lead down and cast it in to bars. Put the bars in the bottom of the battery tray. Was enough room for the lithium on top with the rest of the bars around them.

PBRchaeology? Those beer cans were a poor excuse for rebar! With regard to the chisel shaft lube- it reminds me of the case lube used when resizing brass cartridges back when I reloaded my own ammunition. The cartridges expand radially when the powder burns, and you typically use carbide dies to return the cartridge to the proper O.D. If you don't use lubricant, the brass cartridge will conform to the I.D. of the sizing die and be difficult (at best) to remove. I'm guessing that the chisel shaft lube serves a similar purpose. GREAT music!

For larger projects like this, I've seen a few people recommend the larger electric jackhammer from harbor freight. It's like the size of a pneumatic one, but electric, and supposed to be pretty decent. Being taller, you might have less back ache from bending over all day

@sleepib 9 күн бұрын

The pneumatic jackhammers are much more effective than the electric ones, but then you're also renting the compressor.

That Boy 90, check and clean the oil water cooling solenoid, and then water flow check when open, if the water temp is below 18°C it shouldn't have a problem 22°C max. If all that is o.k, I would pump acid through the oil transfer cooler and make sure you treat the water and monitor the PH level correctly. It's best to have two in-closed chillers, one for the tooling and one for the machines. Using 1" flex pipe would help to supply the water too. Good luck

Your "tank trucks" will work a lot better if you take the wheels off, and turn off the red soft plastic they put on there and just have bare steel wheels. They copied the design, and the got the "plastic" and "red" part right, but they messed up on the "super hard" aspect of those "tires". I have 2 sets of those, both with bare steel wheels, and they roll really nice now. They even sell them with an option of bare steel wheels now instead of the soft rubber.

@gorak9000 16 күн бұрын

With bare steel wheels, you definitely wouldn't need a winch to move it. I have a ~7000lb cnc lathe and a 12000lb mill (though the mill isn't currently 12,000 because a bunch of stuff is off of it), and on a smooth concrete floor, I can push either machine myself on those yellow skates.

Very nice piece of kit you have there. PIAB likes their equipment alot, each EOAT probably would cost north of $1500 to replace. The vac generator (they call it an ejector) is right there, and fully configurable. They are coax generators so they are meant to work at low pressure. I am very familiar. The camera is probably vision for part tracking. Probably with encoder for tracking conveyance speed. Let me know if you have questions, let me know.

You don't need to wipe the whole system to get into a linux box. You need to add "single" to the kernel parameters in the bootloader to boot into single user mode, and then change the passwords. You can find the info online on how to do it. That way you can retain everything that's on the machine, but just clear the passwords. You can do something similar to windows machines to clear passwords without wiping the whole machine.

Super Cool, you got a sophisticated robot and an equally sophisticated hacker/operator(Simon)👍👍. The stereo camera/lidar can be used as a CMM with realtime feedback. Definitely used for some kind of precise placement and nothing to do with recycling. I am tempted to suggest, trying to use one for face painting🤔, to start with. Most of these custom high end robotic systems are useless, without proper driver and software and operating manual. Look forward to seeing, what and all can be done with such a system working at full capability. Seems sky is the limit!❤👍

@aware2action Ай бұрын

@@DragonflyEngineering Yes, I verywell understand. Once I had a concept of using servo controlled robotic arms(using microscribe 3d scanner arms, as a programming tool), with capacitive proximity sensors to do face painting for kids(somehow, seeing the lidar in action, triggered that memory🤔). Could also make an "Amazing Turk" like robotic chess player(without the need of a hiding grandmaster, that operates the pieces remotely). Any serious endeavor has the fruits of labor spill into other domains. Look forward to interesting problems, that can be solved using the high ac😂curacy positioning system. Due to the dynamic tracking and recognition of objects, could be useful for highly customizable product assembly.
