stingrayPete1977 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) I thought it might be worth showing you what I have built at work this week? [IMG]http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af100/stingraypete/FB_IMG_13843584477631549_zps149c19ab.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af100/stingraypete/20131113_141357_zps2ba84bd7.jpg[/IMG] started with a blank box last thursday, all tested and being shipped to Thailand tomorrow. All the parts got sent to me day by day or I would have laid the sockets out better and they were built in about half the time needed really.

stingrayPete1977 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 [quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1384370009' post='2275865'] What is it ? [/quote] The company make commercial dishwashers, they are opening a small factory in thailand to build there smaller units to free up the guys here to build a new version just coming into full production designed for huge hotels and cruise ships etc. It will be mounted on the wall in the test bay to power newly built machines as they undergo the final test before shipping. It will trip out under all conditions if their is a fault and they can check the volts/amps as the machine goes through it cycle. I'm wiring up some cow sheds next week then an mot centre the week after hopefully finishing a full house renovation before christmas so as much as I hate my job at least its varied!

[/quote] Thats business now I guess, there were no plans or anything but I copied a similar setup from the uk factory's test area. To complicate it more the guy opening this franchise is a german that was working in sweden but came here to learn how to build up the dishwashers and test them, he is going to show the new thai employees how to do it over there with parts shipped in from china! At least its not a doom and gloom story as they are going to be building these new machines instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lojo Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 ha, funny, Yes I made 500 mp3 player boxes for CDs (bath music) to be sold on the counter of shops around europe, I charged £25 each, saw the client a few months later and he said they where getting them done in china now for £2 each !

stingrayPete1977 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 The machines will probably end up all over the world anyway though, the components in my boxes are all able to run on 50 hz and 60hzas they use both apparently! The bulk of the new smaller models will be destined for China i suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingus Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 That's impressive work , Pete. I know very little about how electricity works , and I can't understand why Mrs Dingus seems to spend so much money on batteries nowadays . Dissapointing to know that your gizmo is going to Thailand to be used in a factory, though. It would have been nice if your handiwork was going to power some pumped-up fleshpot of a go go bar or simliar humanitariian project. Maybe next time.

thisnameistaken Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Not much room left for scotch eggs in those fridges. I mostly spent my week developing new price management tools for Avon. And explaining why their non-negotiable encryption requirements won't actually work. They still haven't accepted that they won't actually work, but it will come to them eventually.
