Haas Sheet Metal - Factory Spotlight - Haas Automation, Inc. 

Agreed. I was disappointed when they spent a minute or so at the machine Joe said would bend a tank in one minute, but didn't actually show that happening from start to finish. The production team seemed to forget their target audience is full of "How It's Made" type folks.

I worked at a place in Chatsworth CA called Delta Fabrication and we did quite a bit sheet metal work for them.

I was surprised not to hear a higher percentage mentioned also. Could be that contracts are already in place with other shops to supply what HAAS needs. Seems they already have there hands full with what they are producing at the moment.

Maybe he will be promoted to pressing the buttons ??

He can learn to program those machines, or learn to fix them. Just because at one point in time it made sense for someone to do something manually doesn't make it efficient to do it that way forever. if that's how we operated a s society, this man wouldn't have that job anyways, we would be making sand castles with our hands and the mud, not machining parts.

Maybe he can be, but unless HR have already spoken to him about HAAS investing in a training course for him to go on, it's more likely he will get the boot and have to try and retrain whilst out of work, or, more likely take any low paying job he can, and we lose another person from manufacturing. It was still pretty dam clumsy of the pair to have that conversation where they did. Showed a lack of respect.

@@andrewgiles6192 If you think he can work in that building full of automation and not understand his current job will be automated one day, aren't you the one giving him disrespect?

@@schmidtyyt nope, I'm a random.person on the internet, they are managers with a responsibility to their teams. It was badly done.

1400 Statham Pkwy, Oxnard, CA 93033 I am not 100% sure if this address is this shop.

Less then 2 miles

Why is he even wearing a medical mask? Its not gonna protect you from welding fumes, and he's nowhere near other people :/

@John Zappulla so Toyota is better than a porsche bausause it's bigger 😀

@John Zappulla and I said nothing else from the beginning

@John Zappulla you better go out and defend your country instead of watching YT

Talking with you feels like Talking to my ex girlfriend. Nothing but miracle

@John Zappulla no im married now to another. She was crying and blaming everone but her. Just like you

Gauge is a unit of measurement. Tada!

Gauge is an actual unit of measure.

How big is one gauge? How many mm?

Also, an imperial tapping chart the other day told me to use a size Q drill bit, how many inches in a Q?!

Dietmar Steinhilber yeah if I remember correct this was accurate engineering before haas bought them out, they had been almost exclusively haas before as all the local sheet metal shops are in Ventura county. 7 percent is all haas pays their sheet metal manufacturers.

Not Anymore I know all about doing work for this company , In the 90s my father had a commissioned sales man that was in bed with a buyer and The work was large heavy gauge hard to handle with welded machined bars and powder coated low quantity and labor intensive . They would order sets for 5-10 machines at a time and want us to keep the finished goods in inventory . Bottom line is they would never take delivery of all that was ordered as time went by the amount of money invested was astronomical kissing A and delivering 1 kit 90 miles at a time just to say (Oh we do work for them) we canceled them as a customer. My father had a lot of eggs in many baskets and could afford to cut his losses .Evan trying to offer deep discounts to just to get them to take the product they just said no not right now or we changed the design (excuses). Other shops had the same experiences throwing tens of thousands of dollars wort of finished goods in the scrap and a lot of them aren't around any more , I would close my company before doing a single dollar worth for them , on the other hand a friend of mine makes a good livening now And has a truck driving 150 miles every day to Oxnard . Every successful business has its way especially now Corona Extra has been great for business around hear , others not so good .

Dietmar Steinhilber I hear you i started my welding career welding their panels at Computer Metal Products. I know all about the business practices you speak of. CMP always did ok with haas ( at least the owners seemed to) but they eventually got smart and diversified themselves as they were like 90% haas at one point.

manufacturing is all about efficiency. the robots can work 24/7 . you don't have to worry about caal offs . we ave 10 - 20% employees miss a day or more every week. in the meantime customers get angry they can't get their product. so humans suck especially since 2020 and covid.

oh boo efin who

Lasers do operate at much higher fees rates than regular cnc mills and lathes. So I wouldn’t be surprised if it moved that quickly.

That's only 8 mph. Totally reasonable. There's no way it's 700 IPM, even a mill would be faster than that.

@@DdgeluvinHic highspeed lasercutting with trumpf 2d laser machines is around 40 meter per minute (~1600 inches) in 1mm mild steel and aluminum. a few years ago they had a machine with linear drives on all axes that was capable to run up to 150m/min (~3800 inches). but they dont sell it anymore. there should also be a video on yt of this machine. this trumatic 6000 is with highspeed options limited to something around 20meter per minute. i operate a trumatic 7000 with 3.2kw co2 where the maximum is around 10 to 12m/min. this machine is available with 4kw co2 and with highspeed option are also around 20m/min.

@@jacksonsmith4648 8 MPH is nothing if you're driving your car, 8 MPH will shake your car to pieces in seconds if something is accelerating your car back and forth car slamming to a stop each way. But, we aren't dealing with a car, no motion controls like ballscrews could move the weight that fast no matter. Next time you're at Lowe's go for a ride in the paint shaker and tell me how slow it is.

@MichaelKingsfordGray Still trying to get under peoples skin with that pet peeve user name issue you have eh Mike? You've got some real issues and need to have your meds increased.

They're people ( job or jobs) in charge of the robots.
