Slide valves controlled steam flow in steam engines, allowing steam to enter and exhaust to exit. They were replaced by piston valves due to their need for more power and lubrication. Modern machines use more efficient valves, such as poppet valves in cars and throttle valves in certain tools. Slide valves were commonly used in […]
A slide check valve is used to safely vent gas from a pressurized system without depressurizing the entire system. It is commonly used in paintball marking systems and allows for quick and safe correction of problems during gameplay. The valve is operated by manually moving a barrel-shaped sleeve and can be mounted singly or as […]
A slide check valve allows for safe venting of gas from a pressurized system without depressurizing the entire system. It is commonly used in paintball marking systems to quickly fix problems and continue gameplay. The valve is operated by manually moving a barrel-shaped sleeve and can be mounted singly or as a dual component. The […]
A digital slide scanner creates digital images from physical slides, often with software for importing and saving the image file. It can also be an adapter for scanning slides with a flatbed scanner. The device connects to a computer and can scan other photo media. A digital slide scanner is a device that can be […]
A press slide is a tool used to stamp designs onto metal objects for industrial branding. Originally powered by hand, it is now motorized and can also mold sheet and bar metal shapes. Outsourcing to trained professionals allows for specialization and efficient production. A press slide is a tool used to stamp a wire or […]
Slide conveyors are simple, gravity-based systems used to transport materials. They can be connected to assembly line equipment, processing machinery, and storage tanks. There are three basic designs: gravity, air slide, and magnetic. They can be open or enclosed and are low cost and low maintenance. A slide conveyor is a simple conveying system used […]
Cross slides allow movement of tool holders or workpieces along two perpendicular planes during machining. They fall into two categories: those that support tool bits and those that support workpieces. Both achieve movement through two lead screw mechanisms and offer precise feed control. Lathes spin the workpiece while the tool tip remains static, while milling […]
Slide presentation software allows users to view and control slides during a presentation. It became popular in the 1980s as personal computers became more common. Today, it is easy for novice users to create presentations using programs like Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Presentation, and Apple’s Keynote. Users can manipulate text and images on slides and choose […]
