Hi Lads

This week i have good job ,,to  decommission a few  stock pickers for a major bearing manufacturer  , wile i was hard at work having a brew and a tab ,, the head of maintenance came over and said i need to get over to the mechanical stores as they are having a clear out of old stock ,he thought it best  to let me no now, to save me having to get the stuff  back out  of the skip , spoil sport  ::) 

This is what i came away with  :D
A tub full of bits and bobs ,, welding stuff , TCT tips N stuff


A couple of long air actuators and heavy ball lead screw


Selection of Knobs


A good selection of linear bearings , LY20 ,LA35 ,LGY30,LJ20   all new  :D 





Some end effectors  ,,cos they look cool  :lol:
 

And best of all a tap for the garden ,,, save me a few quid


Wonder what tomorrow will bring  :D,,,,,,,,,, best think of some thing to build  out of this lot  :scratch:

Linear driven grippers with adjustable ratchet handles for turning the garden tap on, ball screw operated of course.

Just get it all done in time for the hosepipe ban.

WOW. What else can one say. I think that you have hit the mother load. That is some impressive bit of kit you have saved from going to the landfill. Of course now we will expect lots pf new projects to use the pieces up. Its time for  :proj: to run rampant.  :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:

Cheers  :beer:
