    A tree baler is a machine that wraps trees to allow for easier shipment and storage. Wrapped trees take up much less space and are less likely to be damaged during shipment. [ 1 ] The aim of the device is to replace work that previously required hand-tying individual trees, most often used at commercial nurseries .

  3. Barber–Colman Company - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barber–Colman_Company

    It was in such high demand that Barber & Colman were able to open their own plant in 1902. Soon they had branches in Boston, Massachusetts and the UK. Colman's Warp Tying Machine, introduced in 1904, was also a great success. This machine automated the process of passing threads through the eyes of heddles. Companies could reduce their ...

  4. Differential pulley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_pulley

    Assuming that the chain is massless, F X = 0 because segment X is not supporting any weight. Taking the system at equilibrium, F W and F Y are equal—if they were not, the lower pulley would freely turn until they were. Next, the downward force acting on the lower pulley equals the upward forces acting on it, so F L = F W + F Y, or 2F W ...

    A conveyor system is often the lifeline to a company's ability to effectively move its product in a timely fashion. The steps that a company can take to ensure that it performs at peak capacity, include regular inspections and system audits, close monitoring of motors and reducers, keeping key parts in stock, and proper training of personnel.

    One of the fundamental structures used to tie knots. Specifically, it is a U-form narrower than a bight. [17] A type of knot used to create a closed circle in a line. A loop is one of the fundamental structures used to tie knots. It is a full circle formed by passing the working end of a rope over itself.

  7. Bucket chain excavator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_chain_excavator

    Bucket chain excavator, human for size comparison. A bucket chain excavator (BCE) is a piece of heavy equipment used in surface mining and dredging. BCEs use buckets on a revolving chain to remove large quantities of material. They are similar to bucket-wheel excavators and trenchers. Bucket chain excavators remove material from below their ...

  8. Chainsaw safety features - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chainsaw_safety_features

    The chain has to be properly matched to the guide bar and the saw. Chainsaw manufacturers specify a selection of suitable chains for each model of saw. Best safety requires that the chain is properly sharpened. One key sharpening parameter is the depth gauge setting. The depth gauge is the small steel protuberance in front of each cutting tooth.

  9. Automatic lathe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_lathe

    All CNC machine tools are automatic, but the usage in the machining industries does not routinely call them by that term. The term "automatic", when it is used at all, still often refers implicitly to cam-operated machines. Thus a 2-axis CNC lathe is not referred to as an "automatic lathe" even if fully automated.
