[Emc-users] OT - liquid pump for really cold temperature

Winter has arrived with temperatures below -20C, so I finally decided to something about inability to start up car's engine in these cold mornings. There are lots of options for auxiliary heating with fuel and electricity. I found on ebay a nice heater that works from fuel, but it costs some 600 EUR. I found out that my parents have installed some electrical heaters in several of our tractors. They are cheap (something around 70 EUR) and work good, but the problem is that there is no pump inside the unit, just heater. In tractors they are specially placed relatively low to the engine so that the cooling liquid flows naturally as it is heated. I do not think that it is possible in car, so the question is: Can anyone suggest a small pump, powered by AC electricity and, what is most important, that will work in -20C, -30C temperature? I was thinking about all these aquarium pumps - size is great, flow rate also good, but I am reserved about them working below 0C. Is there something for a reasonable price?

Re: [Emc-users] OT - liquid pump for really cold temperature
Thank You, guys, for the answers! 2013/1/20 Sven Wesley svenne.d...@gmail.com: All my cars have, and all my former cars had, electrical heaters. You don't need a pump. There are universal models that sits in the cooler hose that works flawlessly. Well, there has to be something that makes the fluid to circulate. Either it is a pump, which allows to place the heater anywhere with respect to motor. Or let the fluid circulate naturally, based on the fact that warmer liquid has smaller density so it moves up... But this approach requires to position the heater carefully with the motor block. It will not just work anywhere... I suspect that Your electrical heating units have a pump already built in... There's a silicone/rubber plate model nowadays that you glue directly onto the oil pan that works pretty well too. Some guys use it to pre-heat the oil reservoir on hydraulic machines. I think the price is 50-70 Euro. Yes, I have heard about them and we discussed them also with dad yesterday as he mentioned that their price also is good, but since I live in countryside there are several reasons I am suspicious about: 1) it should be attached to oil pan, which is at the very bottom of the motor; do I understand correctly that it actually requires also some protective shield to prevent any damage by things on the road? Like pieces of snow and ice that I can hear to hit the bottom of car? The road passing by my house is not cleaned within an hour or so after a snowfall; 2) IMHO the oil pan definitely is subject to get splashes of water from wheels; are these heaters sensitive to water or are they sealed up really good? 3) this heater heats up the motor only from one side while heating the cooling liquid and circulating it through the motor block heats it up thoroughly; so I somehow think that this approach is less effective and takes more time; is that really true? 4) and how exactly are they attached to the oil pan? Literally glued, which does not feel really safe to me? Or can it be positioned also with bolts (which requires welding few nuts to the outside of oil pan)? -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.

Re: [Emc-users] OT - liquid pump for really cold temperature
Viesturs: A quick check with a search engine tells me there are tons of discussions of the relative merits of different heating techniques including opinionated folk living in extreme climates like northern Canada and Alaska, just to cite North America. If I were adding a heater to an existing vehicle, I expect I'd go for an easily installed oil-pan heater despite the potential for scraping that you mention. Fortunately, I've never lived anywhere cold enough to justify these techniques (well, there was that winter in Chicago 40-odd years ago but I was without a car at the time. Even the elevated trains were out of service.). In my youth, dipstick-styled heaters were the rage in my grandparents' farm community in the Badlands. It seems to me that if the nights are cold enough to justify an engine heater then a battery blanket/heater would be a good idea too. Car batteries lose much of their cranking capacity as the temperature plunges.

Re: [Emc-users] OT - liquid pump for really cold temperature
Viesturs; We are in for another bout of cold weather, with night time lows of -30C. I have a block heater in my little Toyota Matrix, and when it's below about -20, I plug it in, and turn it on an hour or two before we try to start the car in the morning. It *does* make a difference. The car engine does turn over better than without it. Simple, reliable. Buildings here used to have (and, at work, still have) block heater plugs. But, now with fuel injection, the old if it does not start in three rrRRRrrr-rrrRRRrrr's when turning the ignition key go back to bed no longer is an issue; the car simply starts. But, the engine makes less noises if the block heater has been turned on for a while beforehand. John A.

Re: [Emc-users] OT - liquid pump for really cold temperature
Viesturs; Another really off-topic post. Years ago, my wife at the time and I purchased a new diesel VW Golf. It came with the standard one year, anywhere in the world we'll fix it warranty. 6 months later, we were living in the Netherlands, and this car made it over with us. One month after that, I got a recall letter in my forwarded-from-Canada postal mail. The recall notice (in Canadian Traditional Format - english one side, french the other) said that there was a recall on some power steering units, and to take the car to your nearest dealer. So, I did. The dealer around the corner in The Netherlands had never seen a recall notice with english on one side, french on the other. He had no knowledge of the recall ID, either. But, he said leave it with me, and I'll get back to you. We did, and he did. The problem was that the power steering unit leaked when cold. There were no parts available in Europe, as it only got that cold on this side of the atlantic issue. So, he returned the car, the french/english recall letter, a covering letter from the dealer written in dutch, plus an inspection report in German, indicating that the car had been inspected within the warranty period, and it was not an issue in it's current location, but if it ever was re-exported back to Canada, that the power steering unit would be replaced free of charge. So there! John A. Stewart Ottawa. -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.

If someone could go cut a thread with this 2.6 code and check it for true tpi, it might help me find whatever dumb effect I've put into this in my spindle servo tuning. Thanks folks. -- Cheers, Gene -- I believe the docs need updating to show some problems inherent in the code I'd agree, but what I've found sure wasn't the show stopper this is. The acceleration and deceleration time is not mentioned in the docs and also does it fire off an error if the acceleration and deceleration is programmed IN your desired thread drive line also if you set your spindle at a speed where your Z needs to run at or above its maximum velocity no error is given Already noted. I've not seen an error of that nature, and in any event, the spindle speed in this example code, 100 rpm, is well below any accel/maxvel limits. I have run that same code at 750 rpms the only thing that seemed to change was the left/right registration of the cut thread, it slides to the left as the rpms go up because the actual sync point is late, internally delayed from the index pulse by the accel time from a dead stop. X accel's for the leadout cut were at one time chosen to be about 1/2 turn of the spindle but the spindle was turning about 400 revs when I did that calc. At 100 revs, z has probably a 10x or more headroom, it can run 39 ipm steady state. Current settings are: [TRAJ] DEFAULT_VELOCITY = 0.250 MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY = 0.65 [X axis]: MAX_VELOCITY = 0.60 MAX_ACCELERATION = 5.50 STEPGEN_MAXACCEL = 11.00 [Z axis:] MAX_VELOCITY = 0.3765 MAX_ACCELERATION = 3.00 STEPGEN_MAXACCEL = 6.00 Z is slower, its a 2/1 geardown to the screw, both motors are 430 triple stacks, x is 8 wire series, z is 8 wire parallel wired, amp wide open to get better accel's. Screw is 16tpi, but will eventually be a 16mmx5mm, its on a boat by now I hope. I probably won't change the gearing as creep speeds now aren't even worth calling a surveyer to set stake measure it later... And it is geared, not belted, using the old 'change gears' gears. I believe to get good threads with the current code run more slowly and have a good entry and exit time That code I posted has a start point at +.200 from the start of the thread itself, lots of time to steady the motion. There is also a strange path seen when making a left hand thread with an entry taper Not tried yet. :) I do a tool change, the next move is to the start point, except it seems to have two parts to the move, the first going to the drive line rather than the taper start. Thats correct. With separate homing operations in my setup, I did the x home to that gage when I switched to the single tooth, a cutoff tool blade suitably sharpened, and it appears I need to fine tune the code, the thread is about -0.015 undersized, but thats my problem because that code never before had a known home setting to work from, the tpi it cut is the real problem. In fact, the next thing I did after seeing that was to put a 1.050 travel dial indicator on the carriage to see if a 1.000 move was actually 1.000, and it was. I haven't figured out a way to home the Z with that tool as the broad side of the tool holder would hit the Z side of gage first. I should make some measurements of the offset put it in the tool table, but haven't gotten to that point just yet. One thing at a time lest I overload my now ancient wet ram. :) Your question has made me say something before I did a bug report. Dave Caroline Thanks for looking at this Dave. Thinking out loud, would it be possible to include the ChangeLog in the package I get 2-4x a week from the buildbot? That would tend to give us enough we might even be able to point a bit more specifically when a problem pops up.

Can you just include your GLADE file? I want to load it in glade - copy and paste from website doesn't work. Ok I tinkered with you files - got it to work. Couple of things I will say. You were using HAL_labels as regular label. They are not. Use labels as labels and HAL_labels for displaying hal pin numbers. You have a tons of HAL_Hbox and HAL_Table s. Do you really need them all HALized? Use HAL widgets only when you need the HAL functions, otherwise use regular GTK widgets. But that would give you warnings in a terminal not stop things from working. You handler file was just - wrong :) Interestingly I tried to put an INI example in there but it didn't work .. I'l[ look into that more later. Finally how were you loading this with loadusr gladevcp?

You don't need a pump. There are universal models that sits in the cooler hose that works flawlessly. Well, there has to be something that makes the fluid to circulate. Either it is a pump, which allows to place the heater anywhere with respect to motor. Or let the fluid circulate naturally, based on the fact that warmer liquid has smaller density so it moves up... But this approach requires to position the heater carefully with the motor block. It will not just work anywhere... I suspect that Your electrical heating units have a pump already built in... No, THERE IS NO EXTRA PUMP. Ever. I have a brand new Toyota with a block heater. Guess what? T.h.e.r.e. .i.s. .n.o. .p.u.m.p. Heat transports itself, either via the water or the engine block. If I leave the heater on the wind shield starts to defrost. Why? Because hot water moves.

My VW Touran has a Webasto without a pump, they have a burner as standard equipment because the TDI's doesn't come up in temp without it when it's cold outside and as an extra you can buy a timer or remote for preheating. My brother's Volvo XC60 has a Webasto with pump, while he gets a cozy seat I get a frost free wind shield at its best.

That process is thermal transfer (aka hot stamping) onto poly tubing. I've used them to slide over crimp ferrules. They do make some neat wire labels for terminals. One manufacturer is Cembre. http://www.cembre.com/US/U_NewsSiglatura.htm I had a Brady ID Pro, but the rechargeable battery died and the vinyl wrap around wire labels are a bit pricy. For the way I work now, I do favor print-as-I-go methods, as opposed to drawing the schematic with the wire numbers and printing all of the wire labels I should need up front. Some people laser print labels. I have a Zebra 2844 thermal transfer address label printer and the labels are very inexpensive. I'm thinking of using that printer to print the wire labels from a spreadsheet, and then sliding clear heat shrink over it to keep the adhesive label from unrolling. The only down side is an overheating wire would turn the thermal label completely black, but if that happens I have bigger problems than illegible wire labels.

[Emc-users] Mesa 7i43 and estop
I can't seem to find this information anywhere, if I use the Mesa 7i33 any I/O and 7i33 servo interface with LinuxCNC, if I hit the estop will I lose position and need to re-home my machine?

The 7i33 is a servo amp, so I'll assume you're asking about a servo machine. With hostmot2 the machine still tracks the encoders during estop, so you do not lose position and you do not need to re-home. On stepper machines, of course you always lose position when the steppers lose power, so you'd need to re-home after estop. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
