😳 there’s a solution for that… The Solution While the specific characteristics of a spring can vary depending on its design and purpose. The 3 common mobility characteristics of a spring inspired the design of the POWER-COIL.

1. Compactness: Springs used in mobile devices are typically designed to be small and lightweight to fit within the limited space.

2. Flexibility: Springs are known for their ability to deform under pressure and then return to their original shape.

3. Elasticity: Springs possess high elasticity, meaning they can store and release mechanical energy efficiently.

Austin Engineered Product Spotlight: SAFE ASSIST by Austin Hardware. Eliminate the strain and danger of opening heavy ramp doors. SAFE ASSIST is a revolutionary, patent-pending product designed and manufactured by Austin Hardware. The innovative design renders heavy trailer ramp doors virtually weightless and, unlike traditional ramp assists, eliminates the need for potentially dangerous cables and torsion springs.  SAFE ASSIST also features a fully enclosed and concealed design within a heavy-duty aluminum casing to prevent corrosion over time, contributing to greater longevity and improved aesthetics. Benefits Include: ✔️Maintains balanced weight distribution through the full range of motion ✔️Concealed for better aesthetics  ✔️Adjustable over the product’s lifetime ✔️Maintenance free operations with no greasing required Learn More: https://bit.ly/4fNH5Un

Idiotics: Because Physics Cannot Explain Dumb Business Decisions City Furniture in West Palm Beach, Florida, quotes a lead time of 21 days on 5000+ product configurations. Doesn’t that sound a wee bit high for a LT quote assuming at least a 2 person crew (16 hours per day, 1 shift) is assigned to each order which could be the entire set or a subset of the pieces shown? Using Goldratt’s VATI classification system, this particular high mix low volume production system would be I shaped. Yes? No? So, if the color of the fabric could be mixed on demand and the fabric soaked (or spray painted) on a base fabric AND a supermarket of components kept at the pre assembly level —— do we still need 21 days? I think this would be a fun challenge for those of us interested in HMLV LEAN to discuss. Especially if we have representation from the custom furniture manufacturing industry. Interested?

Wall Ties... so what is the big deal? Here is why... During the 1970's research was conducted into the need for replacement wall ties. The actual durability of the protective zinc or galvanised coatings of the original built in wall ties was studied and this now affects the design and use of walls ties for both new build and replacement. The results of the research was found to be quite beyond any previous expectations: Vertical twist ties ("fish tails") were found to have a life expectancy of only 30 years - half of that originally intended. Wire ties ("butterflies") were found to have a service life of only 15 years. Mortar is alkaline which actually protects and enhances the working life of wall ties A reaction between mortar and the air causes a process called carbonation which turns the mortar acidic which then attacks the wall ties. Early attempts at producing a method for replacing existing wall ties highlighted many of the pitfalls that were to be encountered. The expansion type of tie has been found to induce additional stresses into the masonry - similar to the expansion caused by the existing, rusting walls ties - and were costly to make and fit.The use of heavy section re-bars was soon outlawed because of the need for flexibility to allow the necessary differential horizontal and vertical movement between each leaf using a bar of 8mm diameter or above was found to act like mini crowbars and would eventually work themselves loose. The introduction of BSI DD140, BRE Digest 329 and the more recent BRE Digest 401 at last gave guidance for manufacturers and specifiers of remedial wall ties. What makes our Dri Flex Wall ties so good? One piece design - no moving parts to lose. Multiple drip points to deter water transfer. Flexible design allows natural building movement. Fixes through insulation material. Minimal disfiguration to structures. Strong yet flexible connection. Lightweight installation equipment. Corrosion-resistant materials.

"From small acorns, mighty oaks grow", English proverb. Strain gauges measure the invisible; this 0.38mm (0.015") measuring grid is almost invisible itself. The insights that strain gauges reveal affect all aspects of our modern lives. This miniature gauge is mighty in capabilities! If you want to measure strain in an individual wire, a small screw, next to a discontinuity, in a small gap, a gear tooth, down a hole, this could be the gauge for you! Active foil is only 0.51mm x 1.51mm, the backing is somewhat larger but it can be trimmed to the alignment triangles. Wires are 36AWG stranded and PFA insulated, gauge is normally supplied without leads, this is one that I pre-leaded myself. Too big for your complex design? We have smaller patterns than this too!
