That is insanely clever, wow. I’m just trying to figure out how to put a 4th axis on my small home built cnc and you’ve got 7 !!!! Wanna lend me a few axes please?? You’ve got plenty to spare there lol. Seriously that is an amazing machine, well done and thanks for sharing it with we poor unfortunates that only have jobs not factories lol 😎👍
They're a complete nightmare to program but unparalleled in their output if you have the right parts and quantity. Very rare to see a B axis on one like this too. Awesome stuff.
@@Mazrim_Taim It might be a nightmare to program by hand, but there's a lot of software out there that generates and simulates tool paths auto-magically. And this type of machine will make a lot of the same part, so it's not a big deal.
@@Buciasda33 we have 4 Star ST38's in our machine shop so I know. I'm not saying they're excellent machines, they're awesome bits of kit. But they're still a pain at times - much more so than a fixed head lathe. The software isn't the problem, no matter how 'magical' it is. The trick bit and hard work is in getting the post processor correct and programming wait codes properly which is all programmer driven and not the software. And the fact they make parts so damn quickly means you can be programming them a LOT. Sometimes a batch of 10'000 parts will only take us like 3 days. As I say, its not a criticism of the machines. They're unparalleled in their output. But much trickier to get your head round
@@kanishka.b8550 There are also applications where faults from and weaknesses in the metals from casting around molds are unacceptable, high preassure hydraulics and other fluids. Where you need to machine out the parts.
@@volodymyrrymar8909 there can be redundant axis. There are 9+ axis machines. In the case of this machine the axis of the sub spindle counts as one axis and the tooling on the sub spindle side are additional axis. On a mill turn machine you have XYZ normal axis. Then You have the B-axis of the tilting head and the C-axis of the turning spindle. Then if you have a subspindle you have a W axis (parallel to but separate from the Z-axis) which allows the subspindle to move in and pick up a part from the main spindle. Also an additional C-axis on that spindle sometimes called C2 where the Main spindle's C-axis is C1. Then, if you have a lower Turret there's another 2-3 axis so you'd have another axis parallel to the Z-axis (Z2) and another X-axis (X2) and possibly even a Y-axis on the lower Turret too (Y2) which would make 10 total axis (X1, Y1, Z1, B, C1, W, X2, Y2, Z2, C2) . Look up Mazak Integrex or a Mori Seiki NTX and you'll see. You can also have twin, triple, and quad turret lathes where each turret has it's own X, Z, and often times Y axis. That would be 14 axis between all the turrets and the two Spindles C-axis (X1-4, Y1-4, Z1-4, C1, & C2)
First time I see a mashine operate like this. I'm used to the metal staying still and the tools working, not the other way around. Interessting none the less!
@@davidwillard7334 I see there is no point taking this discussion further with you. Obviously you're having Problems trying to understand what I'm writing and your texts are an eyesore. Good day :)
Well yes, but the cost of a thousand of theese grows up same as the time you need to do this with a manual working. Start from a base lathe, then an expert operator, then the time needed to check each side and dimentions. After theese you need another tool to grind the oval sides and another operator, then again the first one to do the other two workarounds . 1 piece in in medium time of a manual elaborated pieces equals in 3 operators at least 2 different machines an the time needes is at least 3 times greater than that machine can solve with just 1 operator to load/collect and press 1 button to start
This is all fine, but I would say that a mill with a set of rough and finish hollow mills with a C axis work holding would do it faster. Just hog off with the RHM, rotate the fixture and hog off, rotate the fixture and hog off, FHM, drill, Rotate, FHM, drill, rotate, FHM, drill. Clean up with an edger. Done. I've made parts smaller than that for NASA and Nuclear Plants with a 6 tool magazine. It takes less time, less lines of code, and is astoundingly cheaper in every way compared to the fancy machines in these videos. Sure it's cool, but this is not cost effective.
It depends. They can run this part 24/7 on an L32 with minimal operator interference depending on tolerances. Not so much with a mill unless you get into a mill/turn.
@@timweilacher6457 Greetings! I am a young engineer from St. Petersburg, Russia. In our country, working with such equipment and tools, I'm afraid of this word, is a luxury. In addition, the education system itself and the actual training of specialists are far from perfect. ..ready, with your help, to lead the directions of interest in this environment. Respond!
Pressure cast equals more work after that and more pieces to throw away if casted for some reason in a wrong way. Tha video gives just an example to what you can do and what each single module can do alone or together. More to this, there are many things you can just cast, but if you need to edit something of already casted without the need of three expert operators to mill/grind/lathe/etc in a chain... well that fits well i suppose
I think it's a modular cnc programming for each tool with a simultaneous working and not Something like call lathe to spin or to stop and push out the piece then call the grinder to do the rest, simple but effective
