Machine banding

This chapter is a guided tour of the standard EPR spectrometer. The goal is not to give a rigorous description of the underlying physics, but to develop a feel for basic parts and principles sufficient to make you an independent, intelligent operator of any X-band machine. 

Hot-melt adhesives are applied on edge-banding machines, profile-wrapping machines, and postforming machines. The adhesive is applied to the substrates with special rollers or slot nozzles. The joint between the cover and the core material is achieved by applying pressure with a roller system while the adhesive sets. 

Powered hand tools are used in warehouses as a matter of course. Hand drills, power saws, banding machines, and staple guns are typical power tools. Here are a few notes of interest regarding the safety of workers when using this equipment. 

Banding machines are used to manually secure strapping around product to prevent movement. The metal or plastic bands can easily cut the skin or injure the eyes. Eye and hand protection is needed for this process. 

PBT resins are very fluid in the melt and sometimes drooling from the injection no22le can be a problem in machines that do not have melt decompression. A simple free-flow no22le can be used satisfactorily to minimise drooling if its temperature can be adjusted by a separate heater band. PBT does not drool as badly as nylons. 

Conical ends vary from machined forgings to roll-formed tubing, and clamps vary from machined forgings to bands to which sever roll-formed channels are attached at their centers by spot welding. A hinge may be inserted in the band as a substitute for one of the draw bolts. Latches may also be substituted for draw bolts. 

Resilient but rigid foundations such as by providing spring mounts or rubber pads for machines on the floor or for components and devices mounted on the machine so that they are able to absorb the vibrations, caused by resonance and quasi resonance effects, due to filtered out narrow band ground movements. The stiffness of the foundation (coefficient of the restoring force, k) may be chosen such that it would make the natural frequency of the equipment...

Computers may be used for noise analysis when connected to dedicated hardware devices. One machine incorporates a narrow-band analyzer, octave and one-third octaves with all the features of an environmental noise analyzer. These devices cost much less than purchasing all the dedicated instmments separately. They may be obtained in portable form but are rarely weatherproofed for outdoor use. 

Like broadband analysis, narrowband analysis also monitors the overall energy, but for a user-selected band of frequency components. The ability to select specific groups of frequencies, or narrowbands, increases the usefulness of the data. Using this technique can drastically reduce the manpower required to monitor machine-trains and improve the accuracy of detecting incipient problems. 

Unlike broadband data, narrowband data provide the ability to directly monitor, trend, and alarm specific machine-train components automatically by the use of a microprocessor for a window of frequencies unique to specific machine components. For example, a narrowband window can be established to directly monitor the energy of a gear set that consists of the primary gear mesh frequency and corresponding side bands. 

Narrowband limits, i.e. discrete bandwidth within the broadband, can be established using the following guideline. Normally 60 to 70 per cent of the total vibration energy will occur at the true running speed of the machine. Therefore, the absolute fault limit for a narrowband established to monitor the true running speed would be 0.42 ips-peak. This value can also be used for any narrow-bands established to monitor frequencies below the true running speed. 

Note how the confidence band changes with changing temperature. As an aside, it ghould be pointed out that at a temperature of about 0°C, the machine torque is below the recommended range but the transducer is still responding to the signal. 

Normal incidence transmission IRLD measurements are used to study thin films (typically 100 pm thickness and less, depending on the molar extinction coefficient of the bands) with in-plane uniaxial orientation. Two spectra are recorded sequentially with the radiation polarized parallel (p) and perpendicular (s) to the principal (machine) direction of the sample. The order parameter of the transition moment of the studied vibration is calculated from either the dichroic ratio (R — Ap/As) or the dichroic difference (AA = Ap—As) as ...
