Project Life 2018: Week 20

 

An external hard drive which contained photos from the last 10 years failed about a month ago and it’s been crippling regarding my memory-keeping. I talked about what happened on Instagram so I won’t go into it again here, except to remind everyone: Please check your backups!

I’m creating with the current photos I have on my phone and what was left on my camera cards while I wait on whether any of my data can be recovered. The failed hard drive is now with a data recovery lab.

Anyway, onto scrappy talk… 🙂

Here is my spread for week 20:

I just received the gorgeous TN kit from Kelly Purkey and chose to use these cards for the spread. The cards in this kit are thick and good quality, but I find I don’t actually use them that much in my traveler’s notebooks because they add more bulk than I’d like, and I also don’t seem to use much patterned paper in notebooks anyway.

I stuck with the overall color palette from the TN kit, cutting down the papers to add color to some plain journaling cards. I added a few cards I had from previous Studio Calico kits to fill out the remaining 3×4″ pockets.

I wanted to tell the story of my hard drive failure (kind of a Big Deal!) but since I can be a little wordy and it wasn’t going to fit on a 3×4″ card, I chose to make a fun pocket to hold this story. I printed the text on white cardstock, sized to slightly less than 2 3×4″ cards and adhered these to the front and back of a colored 3×4″ card. I created a tab that I stapled on so it could be pulled from the pocket and stamped “Yikes/UGH” from some Ali Edwards stamps I had.

For the pocket itself, I cut out the gold “the worst” phrase from a 4×6″ SC card and sewed it onto a piece of vellum. I then sewed the vellum along 3 of the edges to the 4×6″ backing card to complete the pocket.

The embellishments are a mix of stickers (Studio Calico, Elle’s Studio) and wood veneer (Felicity Jane, Gossamer Blue).

I love the way this spread came out, even if it documented one horrible story!

  16. Balanset-1A: Cutting-edge Compact Balancer & Vibration Analyzer
    High-precision Dynamic Balancing Solution
    Balanset-1A constitutes an revolutionary solution for dynamic balancing of rotors in their own bearings, manufactured by Estonian company Vibromera OU. The device ensures professional equipment balancing at €1,751, which is significantly cheaper than traditional vibration analyzers while maintaining superior measurement accuracy. The system enables in-place balancing directly at the equipment’s installation site without necessitating disassembly, which is critically important for preventing production downtime.
    About the Manufacturer
    Vibromera OU is an Estonian company concentrating in the development and manufacturing of instruments for technical diagnostics of industrial equipment. The company is established in Estonia (registration number 14317077) and has branches in Portugal.
    Contact Information:

    Official website: https://vibromera.eu/shop/2/

    Technical Specifications
    Measuring Parameters
    Balanset-1A ensures precise measurements using a two-channel vibration analysis system. The device measures RMS vibration velocity in the range of 0-80 mm/s with an accuracy of ±(0.1 + 0.1?Vi) mm/s. The operating frequency range is 5-550 Hz with optional extension to 1000 Hz. The system supports rotational speed measurement from 250 to 90,000 RPM with phase angle determination accuracy of ±1 degree.
    Operating Principle
    The device employs phase-sensitive vibration measurement technology with MEMS accelerometers ADXL335 and laser tachometry. Two uniaxial accelerometers measure mechanical vibrations proportional to acceleration, while a laser tachometer generates impulse signals for computing RPM and phase angle. Digital signal processing includes FFT analysis for frequency analysis and proprietary algorithms for automatic computation of corrective masses.
    Full Kit Contents
    The standard Balanset-1A delivery includes:

    Measurement unit with USB interface – main module with integrated preamplifiers, integrators, and ADC
    2 vibration sensors (accelerometers) with 4m cables (alternatively 10m)
    Optical sensor (laser tachometer) with 50-500mm measuring distance
    Magnetic stand for sensor mounting
    Electronic scales for precise measurement of corrective masses
    Software for Windows 7-11 (32/64-bit)
    Plastic transport case
    Complete set of cables and documentation

    Operating Capabilities
    Vibrometer Mode
    Balanset-1A functions as a comprehensive vibration analyzer with abilities for measuring overall vibration level, FFT spectrum analysis up to 1000 Hz, determining amplitude and phase of the fundamental frequency (1x), and continuous data recording. The system provides display of time signals and spectral analysis for equipment condition diagnostics.
    Balancing Mode
    The device supports one-plane (static) and two-plane (dynamic) balancing with automatic calculation of correction masses and their installation angles. The unique influence coefficient saving function permits substantial acceleration of subsequent balancing of similar equipment. A dedicated grinding wheel balancing mode uses the three-correction-weight method.
    Software
    The intuitive program interface delivers step-by-step guidance through the balancing process, making the device usable to personnel without special training. Key functions include:

    Automatic tolerance calculation per ISO 1940
    Polar diagrams for imbalance visualization
    Result archiving with report generation capability
    Metric and imperial system support
    Multilingual interface (English, German, French, Polish, Russian)

    Usage Domains and Equipment Types
    Industrial Equipment
    Balanset-1A is successfully employed for balancing fans (centrifugal, axial), pumps (hydraulic, centrifugal), turbines (steam, gas), centrifuges, compressors, and electric motors. In production facilities, the device is used for balancing grinding wheels, machine spindles, and drive shafts.
    Agricultural Machinery
    The device represents particular value for agriculture, where reliable operation during season is vital. Balanset-1A is employed for balancing combine threshing drums, shredders, mulchers, mowers, and augers. The possibility to balance on-site without equipment disassembly permits eliminating costly downtime during critical harvest periods.
    Specialized Equipment
    The device is successfully used for balancing crushers of various types, turbochargers, drone propellers, and other high-speed equipment. The RPM frequency range from 250 to 90,000 RPM covers essentially all types of industrial equipment.
    Advantages Over Alternatives
    Economic Efficiency
    At a price of €1,751, Balanset-1A delivers the functionality of devices costing €10,000-25,000. The investment pays for itself after preventing just 2-3 bearing failures. Savings on third-party balancing specialist services totals thousands of euros annually.
    Ease of Use
    Unlike complicated vibration analyzers requiring months of training, mastering Balanset-1A takes 3-4 hours. The step-by-step guide in the software allows professional balancing by personnel without specialized vibration diagnostics training.
    Mobility and Independence
    The complete kit weighs only 4 kg, with power supplied through the laptop’s USB port. This allows balancing in remote conditions, at distant sites, and in difficult-access locations without separate power supply.
    Versatile Application
    One device is appropriate for balancing the widest spectrum of equipment – from small electric motors to large industrial fans and turbines. Support for single and two-plane balancing covers all common tasks.
    Real Application Results
    Drone Propeller Balancing
    A user achieved vibration reduction from 0.74 mm/s to 0.014 mm/s – a 50-fold improvement. This demonstrates the outstanding accuracy of the device even on small rotors.
    Shopping Center Ventilation Systems
    Engineers effectively balanced radial fans, achieving decreased energy consumption, removed excessive noise, and extended equipment lifespan. Energy savings recovered the device cost within several months.
    Agricultural Equipment
    Farmers note that Balanset-1A has become an essential tool preventing costly breakdowns during peak season. Reduced vibration of threshing drums led to decreased fuel consumption and bearing wear.
