ELLIPSOGRAPH

ELLIPSOGRAPH — is the name of this simple device. It can be used to draw an ellipse with any ratio of the semiaxes. It is enough to set into the holes on the line of alignment pins to align the center of ellipsograph with the future centre of the ellipse and rotate the line by Read more…

RUBBER CUTTER

No one is surprised that for drilling different holes require different tools. The bit set can not do, does not matter. The trouble is that the tool change takes a lot of precious minutes. How to avoid this! In various companies are innovators in different ways solve this problem. There was, for example, drill bits with a stepped diameter, one such tool allows you to drill small and large holes. And where this range should be really very great work on the turret with permanently fixed at their range of drills.

HOMEMADE ELECTROPLATING

HOME ELECTROPLATINGThe electroforming technique of electrolytic deposition of metals on the surface of various objects (matrices) with the aim of obtaining accurate metal copies were first developed and applied in practice in 1838 by the Russian scientist, academician B. S. Jacobi. With his direct participation had made many great works of art, statues and bas-reliefs for St. Isaac’s Cathedral, Hermitage Museum, Winter Palace, Peter and Paul Cathedral, including the famous Quadriga to front of the Bolshoi theater in Moscow.

INSTEAD OF A SLEDGEHAMMER

INSTEAD OF A SLEDGEHAMMERFor modern engineering and many other sectors of the economy it’s not uncommon for such large structures, in which the Assembly or disassembly of powerful bolting already exempt from the ordinary hand tools or power one working. That’s why the innovators of Novo-Gorkovsky oil refinery created a powerful Electromechanical wrench. It is a two-stage planetary gear associated with seriesname DC motor with a power of 0.9—1.0 kW. The torque transmitted to them at the nut is 825 KGM.
