AI Thread Summary

Standard isolator pads can effectively address vibration issues in industrial settings, providing a cost-effective solution compared to active pneumatic isolation systems, which can be expensive. These off-the-shelf pads are designed to minimize vibrations, allowing for the placement of heavy machinery, like a 1000-ton punch press, near sensitive equipment without compromising accuracy. Users have reported successful results when implementing these pads in various applications. The discussion highlights the importance of selecting the right isolation method based on specific operational needs. Overall, standard isolator pads are a viable option for improving measurement accuracy in vibration-prone environments.

they got standard off the shelf isolator pads to deal wit this..worst case is active pneumatic isolation system for $ 10,000..you can put a 1000 ton punch press next to a high accuracy measurement machine and get accurate results...

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
