The museum takes me back to my early days as a tool grinding apprentice, back in the sixties. Does my heart good seeing someone caring for these old machines
@@TITANSofCNC About TIME LOL, we were starting to wonder if you had just decided to stay over there with the pigeons. HAHAHA The shop needs some random BOOMS! Safe travels bro!
Machines come in all kinds of price ranges. A lot of them look very similar but the difference between a great, quality machine and a sub-standard ones is in those little details that are sometimes invisible. Aging the casting is one of those . . . nothing can replace the natural aging method. Scraping a perfectly ground surface manually may make no sense to many, but it is a secret for long-lasting precision. In today's, throwaway society refurbishing old machines speaks volumes of the companies faith in their own workmanship. Talk about recycling - imagine if car companies had such programs. Thanks for the tour Titan! BOOM - it is a machinist thing - you wouldn't understand it🙂
Surely they don't scrape to achieve tolerance/fit anymore (correct me if I'm wrong) I think the scrapeing is to produce small pockets that trap oil and similar effects. Presumably they use some pumped oil slideways??
Most people dont get the importance of putting enough thought into right fixturing and what it can save you in thr end.. But you can tell and see who does it and wins. You really know how to appreciate that. ;) Actually, I am a toolmaker, specialized in fixtures. Your videos make me proud again of what I'm doing. Have a safe flight tomorrow, greetings from your current neighbour Germany :)
The massiveness of the manufacturing involved here is so impressive to see. Great manufacturing coupled with a passion for the industry. Love it. That museum was super cool as well!
Kinda looks like the Boeing line.... moving and producing ! ..... and a shop with an area to produce the parts they use to build the machines🤔 ...... AND ORGANIZED ! ...... WOW.
It is truly amazing the amount of process and knowledge that goes into making some of the most precise, high tech, grinding machines in the world. Thanks for the tour boss!
When I started my apprenticeship years ago one of the instructors talking about aging castings said that it was left outside for at least 12 months or more like in the video and funny part is he said once a day or week can't remember someone goes and hits the castings with a hammer to relieve the stresses.
I find Titan and his story extremely inspiring (as well as Tyson’s story). I really appreciate all of these very insightful videos. Please keep them coming💯
hi, since i work as cnc operator last year, i’m very exciting to watch your video. btw, this is my first time work as cnc operator😅 and very difficult. especially to read the blueprint. i operate mitshubishi mvs series. thanks alot for your video. it’s motivated me to be good machinist🙏
We missed your videos in this channel, Mr. Titan. It's been a long time... I hope you have a happy trip... We are waiting for the rest of your videos from Spain and Germany to know more about the machinery factories. BOOM 💥
I bought some Tornos Deco CNC Lathes in Switzerland. LNS bar feeder and tool sensors. Load up the bar feeder for the night and come back in the morning. One operator running 6 machines no problem. And that's with 20 year old technology. Today?
Wow budy your in Europe great ☆☆☆☆☆ If your near belgium or the Netherlands let me know , would be so great man ! Grtz from the netherlands Johny geerts
Optimum performance starts with the competence of the Skill in the Shop , Hi tech is a bonus & BEST part is sense of achievement & TITAN of CNC can get you there with it's acedemy,,,,,BOOM,,,,,,
Thank you Titan for this great video in Switzerland. If you are still in Europe you should pay a visit at the Acheron river in Greece where the Titans drunk water and gained power after the battles at Mount Olympus!
Studer grinders are close to perfection.. It's a shame that most companies in the United States don't understand the importance of apprenticeships. Treat your equipment and craftsmen with respect for a long lasting and stable future of our country.
Years ago in a shop we got a brand new Bridgeport knee mill. It was backed into a close proximity a new grinder. We warned them. Two or three years later the mill was trashed from damage inflicted by the grinder abrasives. Sooo my question is,"How much metal finishing happens in their line manufacturing) assembly process?
How long do they age the castings? I knew good machines are done that way but never really knew how long they would leave them out. We used to do that with racing engines. A new block wouldn't be used, or use a block from a used vehicle. Great video!
Sometimes when I see how advance machines are . More parts,short cycle time,more accurate.I wondering if there is place for human to grow to his fullness .Are they more happy ,full of live or they rather feel like being used,more depressed if it is the other the question is why?
What do you do first buy the machines or get the work?Even though I have an established business I think twice before my next investment in a new machine.
@@mehmettemel8725 Well, I was lucky to buy a complete shop with 3 machines and the customers. But of course, if you started with just 1 machine, you need at least 1 customer who can give you more work if you ask for it. If you compete on the free market it's hard to get enough work for a 2nd machine, unless you do all the trash jobs that are offered. Personally I specialized on hydraulic blocks, which is a nice niche, but needs some kind of background knowledge.
@@zagareth4604 It's not always what you plan to do sometimes work governs what you will be doing.I started in my home garage 20 years ago moved out into a workshop 18 years ago have a few cnc machines and manual machines as well but it's never enough.My reply to your earlier comment was it isn't always easy to get work without machines and buying machines without any work lined up.As you say you were lucky to buy an established business but starting from scratch is a little hard.I've always been too cautious which is probably not a good thing in terms of growth but rather be safe then to lose everything.
@@mehmettemel8725 Yep, I know. The problem is to keep the balance of incoming to outgoing work, between requests and offers. I'm always honest with my customers and I always deliver A class items, never B or worse and this at the lower end of the price range. This way you gain a very good reputation among your customers. And THIS grants, that you always get work when you need it and that you are allowed to refuse work if you can't do it. But I can only outplay my competitors, BECAUSE I'm able ti run multiple machines at the same time and this makes me able to be cheaper. Works so far... not always, but often enough. And even in insecure times like this it doesn't take much to get filled with work up to the roof, when you are alone. But I agree, to have 1 good employee is also a very good alternative for being alone
At some point when the level of efficiency crosses a certain point, the jobs eliminated will create issues for people looking for a job. So what happens then. At Haas manufacturing you can order almost anything and it will be on a truck headed your way in a week or two
I agree with your efficiency statement to some extent. from my experience, haas is an okay machine, but it is what (in my world) we consider them "throw away" machines. They are not that durable, not meant for 24/7 work. They do have their place though.
A lesson in manufacturing superiority and not handing it all over to a particular country intent on controlling the manufacturing of the planet. It can be done.
Hey Titan, You don't need to address "Guys and Girls" independently.. Not only are you segregating a "binary" system, but I think most sane people consider "guys" synonymous with "Amigo". "LatinX" term didn't work out, I think the attempt to PC sounds more awkward than speaking naturally. FWIW You could call them a "person" if the gender thing really bothers you. .. Phenomenal Video
