Safety On Board
Need for integrated safety on board controllers
Today, production managers require more productivity through machines. Manufacturing industry suffers from stopping production line to perform day-to-day maintenance activities. Once multi axis motion controller based manufacturing line running hundred's of delta robots is stopped, engineers are required to re-synchronize axis if integrated safety is not implemented in the production line...
Computer Architecture
Whether you want to build a gaming PC or a custom PC solution for industrial control system, building PC is great fun and you might end up building a PC that is far more powerful, aesthetically pleasant and cheaper than commercial off the shelf desktop PCs. Here, I have put down a very brief list of few of...
Verification and validation testing of aerospace components, notably pumps, valves, engines, is essential to ensure safe flight. Adequate testing requires exact replication of actual geometrical representation of component position within an aircraft. Further, it is quintessential to simulate environmental conditions surrounding aircraft during the flight. If the component is not subjected under real application conditions during testing...
Control Panel - Die cast aluminium enclosures
For many compact junction box type control panel applications where I require to house electronic or pneumatic components, I tend to choose die-cast aluminium enclosures.
"Die-cast aluminium is a high resilience material that provides robust, safe and reliable encapsulation to design components and available upto ip66 nema 4 rating, Khurram Waris said"
Pre Procurement
Many die-cast...
Designing Control Panel
Control Panel Components
Any industrial control panel is built with many components just like an electronic circuit board. There are modules for power conversion and distribution, there are energy dissipation and storage modules, switching components at many kHZ, safety modules to protect users as well as electronic components, lots of wires, nuts and bolts, list goes on. We...
Autocad Electrical Project upgrade
Autocad import of dwg drawings
One of my client recently handed me over set of electrical drawings in dwg format and requested control panel upgrade with bigger cabinet and more components. My first task was obviously to be able to open all dwg in Autocad Electrical. Original dwg were drawn in a different drawing tool so I...

Creating drawing template in Autocad Electrical | Khurram Waris | easybodge
Creating drawing template in Autocad Electrical is amongst the first step that needs to be completed for any autocad project. Autocad Electrical isn't the type of software that we can just jump into and start using without some guidance. It is a data manager running inside of...

Operation of safety relay
The typical design of a safety relay is based on the classic 3 contactor combination. The design ensures that wiring errors do not lead to the loss of the safety function. Two relays (K1, K2) with positive-guided contacts - set of NO and NC contacts that operate together so NO and NC...
Control Panel - Design and component placements
it is always easier to have both schematics and component arrangement drawings completed prior manufacturing period. Electrical Control Panel components need to be placed in cabinets so that the operation of components are not affected due to electrical noise from adjacent components. Besides, heat dissipation during operation also restricts installation location for a...
