Rigging (suspension and moving of machine tools)

November 30, 2015November 30, 2015 Al-Hala

Rigging (in this context) is the act of safely supporting and transporting machine tools. Some pointers: Twisted rope has a much higher sliding coefficient (ropes are rougher). It can take a lot more static tension to overcome sticktion. This makes Read more…
