airtight welds and differential covers

we produce diff covers for a japanese auto manufacturer (guess and you'll be right) they test our covers un-ecoated and occasionally find air leaks.

my question is: gear oil doesn't fit through the same microscopic hole as air and once the coating is applied microscopic holes will be sealed. what leak rate is good enough and how to prove customers won't have oil stains on their driveways? or how would you try to defend your process/robots?

we all know axles are vented and not pressurized, even they admit that

PLC Fingerprint Reader

What fingerprint scanners work best with Rockwell PLCs? We need to know who is resetting faults on critical equipment?

Update: Schneider Electric has a product we're going with.

hydraulic overloads

my plant just inherited three komatsu presses. before this we only had minster presses. yesterday, one of the komatsu presses got very stuck on bottom. we could not get this thing unstuck most of first shift. all of our normal methods failed and the clutch kept slipping. our last ditch effort was to pack the die with dry ice. that took about 20 tons of 220 tons of force off the jam. it wasn't until we dumped hydraulic pressure from the overload that we were able to get it off bottom.

my question for other stampers is: how do hydraulic overloads work and how do i know if mine is set right?

any help is appreciated

ethanol & water

so i may have left a beer in the freezer a little too long and now im wondering. if ethanol has a lower freezing point than water... if i drink the liquid and not the slush, will my beer now have a higher ABV?

i may have screwed up

i started making pickles last year from my homegrown cukes. i read a lot of Internet articles on making brine and tried a lot of different things. by the end of the growing season i was happy with my pickles. in the last two weeks i harvested about five pounds of cukes, so i started making pickles. i never wrote down my recipe. i just remembered i used sugar in my brine last year. will my pickles be ok this year?
