We cover a variety of automation topics starting with a helpful tip from a viewer regarding the lock button feature on insulation testers that makes using alligator leads much more practical. I answer a viewer question about using a Greenlee keyhole nibbler on stainless steel panels and explain why it is not the best tool for that job due to material flexing and drilling difficulties. We also dive deep into industrial networking, specifically addressing the debate between using explicit message instructions versus produced and consumed tags. There is a common misconception that produced and consumed tags should replace all messaging, but I explain why both methods have their place depending on the frequency of data updates and network traffic management. Finally, I highlight some impressive student projects, including a fifth-generation can crusher, and tease an upcoming pneumatic pick and place trainer accessory.Helping you become a better technician so you will always be in demandNot sure what video to watch next?
