Unless great care is taken, pulling magnet wire from a motor stator often bends or splays the lamination’s end teeth. Bent teeth, or teeth that have been splayed outward at the ends of the core stack, will likely compromise the quality of the repair job. Therefore, we have designed and implemented the use of disc clamps to hold the stator tooth tips in place while pulling magnet wire from the slots. The clamping fixtures described in the photos have helped ensure that we avoid damaging the stator teeth during the stripping process.

A no ser que se tenga mucho cuidado, tirar del alambre magneto al desmantelar el estator de un motor a menudo deforma o dobla los dientes de las laminaciones. Estos dientes deformados comprometerán la calidad de la reparación y hay estudios que demuestran que este problema puede reducir la eficiencia del motor. Sin embargo, aunque esta reducción puede ser pequeña, genera altos costos y desperdicio de energía.

The importance of precise and accurate measurements is more critical today than ever. Our customers are increasingly demanding of best possible practices and outcomes when having their machinery serviced and repaired. The ideas and information presented here are applicable to other mechanical measuring devices such as inside micrometers, calipers, protractors, levels, depth gauges and such.

En este artículo trataremos los micrómetros exteriores. Sin embargo, las ideas y la información aplican a otros dispositivos de medición, tales como: Micrómetros de interiores, calibradores, transportadores, niveles, galgas de profundidad, etc.

There are plenty of generic mobile device policies floating around the web. Sadly, many of them focus heavily and narrowly on the disadvantages of team members having personal devices at their workstations. Too often organizations take the path of excluding mobile devices from the work area because it’s easy rather than reaping the benefits they offer.

Existen muchas políticas genéricas sobre el uso de los dispositivos móviles flotando en internet. Dependiendo del entorno particular y de las herramientas utilizadas, es razonable y responsable evaluar los riesgos potenciales para la seguridad y la protección. Sin embargo, con mucha frecuencia, las organizaciones toman el camino de excluir los dispositivos móviles del área de trabajo porque es una medida fácil, en lugar de aprovechar los beneficios que ofrecen.

Though it is unlikely a typical EASA member firm can achieve OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) economies of scale, we can strive to improve safety and working conditions, improve quality and increase labor efficiency thereby enhancing earnings. This article shares tips for building several special tools and fixtures, and it identifies one commercially available tool to help us achieve safety and quality goals while improving our productivity.
