GE 90-70 PLC Product Line Support Acquired by CIMTEC
GE Intelligent Platforms, Inc. (GE IP) announced that the majority of the Series 90-70 PLC family (IC697) was being discontinued. In order to best serve existing Series 90-70 customers and to allow GE Intelligent Platforms to best focus its efforts around new technologies, CIMTEC Automation (http://www.cimtec.com) is pleased to announced that it has reached an agreement with GE IP to take over the order fulfillment, support, and repair services for the Series 90-70 family.
This change will enable customers to continue to purchase Series 90-70 products from their local distributor and to receive full product support, including warranty support and repairs, from CIMTEC as well.
This agreement includes the Series 90-70 products used in the TUV approved GMR SIL rated system configurations. The GMR system continues to be available as a certified system from CIMTEC while components remain available.
"We are extremely excited about this opportunity to be able to serve existing GE IP 90-70 customers throughout the US and the world," says Dan Keenan, President of CIMTEC Automation. "For over 25 years, we have been working closely with GE not only as a premier distributor, but have been providing repairs, remanufactured parts and phone and field support for GE's legacy PLC products. In essence, we have been extending the life of obsolete GE PLC parts."
These days, it is not always possible for a manufacturing facility to migrate to the latest control system just because the vendor decides to discontinue a product line.
"We recognize that end users don't have the resources to migrate control systems every 3 to 5 years. They need a partner that has the expertise to support older systems, has the parts in stock and can respond to emergencies or critical customer issues right then," adds Keenan.
The 90-70 change is effective immediately. CIMTEC will provide the following for all global customers and channel partners:
• Presales support for purchase inquiries for 90-70 products
• Warranty support for the 90-70 installed base
• Out of warranty repair support for the installed base of 90-70 products
• Technical support for the 90-70 installed base

The Vandals Broke the Handle - Gearhart Knitting Machine Repair with Lasers
Using a CNC laser to repair a 1908 Gearheart knitting machine. I bought an old Gearhart Knitting machine for $100 that says 1908 on the casting and 1914 on the instructions. This thing is the coolest machine I own. It inspires me to observe how things were so carefully and skillfully designed and built. Now-a-days it seems like we don't have that kind of time or care or time to care. The history of these little sock knitters is extraordinary especially because they helped the US win WWI! Before its invention people knit socks by hand - a pair in few days. A skilled operator can make a pair on this in about 40 minutes.
WWI fighters were suffering from trench foot caused by having wet feet continuously, literally loosing life and limb. Women stateside were given machines for free if they knitted a number of socks for the troops thus reducing trench foot, gangrene and helped significantly with the war effort. Supposedly they made some 200,000 of these knitters. I got a good deal but it had a broken crank. I had to repair the crank to make it work. I decided to try casting the broken bevel gear crank but I was missing parts so I had to cast two halves and hot knife weld them together. I cast them in jeweler's wax planning to use lost wax casting.
The prospect of casting was too much work so I abandoned that path. Next I thought of how to make a bevel gear out of thin slices of metal and bolt them together. I could get the steel laser cut and bolt everything together. I drew up the gears in 2D and made two different tooth lengths in 16 gauge stainless to be stacked to create a approximate bevel. I put 1/4" 20 tap drill sized holes in the parts so I could just tap the stack while clamped in a vice and the whole thing would bolt together. It worked like a charm even though I broke a tap and had to make some new holes.
I prototyped the gear stack on my little CNC laser out of "book binder cardboard. I had another project for some 15mm wrenches built into bottle openers for a local bike shop so I took the opportunity to throw the parts on the same laser order. Here is the solution and the finished product - knitting again after maybe 100 years.
I do product design for hire and this kind of stuff for fun. I was also one of the designers of The Jiggernaut which has another instructable on this site. Thanks for checking out my project.
