Machine tear down, Part 1 

Maint tech 3 here. I'm super jealous. I would have had 10 calls in the span of that project. Seems no one knows what a start button is anymore or that when your personal belongings are hanging in the way of the light curtain it won't start.😂

The look on your 'no. 2's' face was a classic. Tell him we don't bite.

Like Rainman Ray would say "Everything is a hammer"

I'm a dyslexic maintenance man for blowmolding in Ohio. But righty losey will eventually work permanently. Lol

If 480V 200A scares you, we just upgraded our main power feed at the processing plant at the farm I work on, from 600V 600A fused to 600V 1000A breaker, Including going from pole pigs to a pad mount transformer. We were starting to overload and blow one of the 600A fuses when we had all of the refrigeration and the processing line running, and then adding the harvest storing equipment. also the fuse had to be changed live as the disconnected did not work properly anymore, thankfully it has now been replaced.

Skyjacker 19x32, best mobile sawhorse/ladder ever made, and of course the machine being moved has been storage central for some time lol

I like how you moved the meter up and tested the leads coming into the disconnect. I do this to confirm my meter is working correctly

I like that you've given us an insight into the more workhorse part of your work. It does make me question my path because this sort of task is what I get into.

So I've said before how I enjoy your videos since this is the field I'm currently going into. So really enjoy seeing the real world application of my lessons in mechatronics, and I do like how you explain things and how you try to explain why you're doing things for safety reasons. I do have one issue, and that's when you were on the step ladder. It's been drilled into my head since I was a young lad, even before I knew I wanted to go into this field, that you don't step on the top step. Things done for expediency are alright until they're not. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

Glad to see I’m not the only one that has to play musical equipment and a maze game to get to / work on a machine 😂! Great video !! Like to see you on the floor !

Your videos are awesome. Keep em' coming....I enjoy every one!!!

1994! I started my career in maintenance in 1994! You calling me old? lol

Always make it nice for the next tech, because, chances are good that YOU will be the next tech.

That m12 hackzall is one of the best tools I own

Dan when the socket got stuck in the strut, I noticed you didn't have to edit that out. I say that because I say something like you witch or something I would have to edit out if I filmed myself just to let you know you are probably more appropriate at times than I am lol. Then I watched you standing on the top of the ladder at the 42 minute mark.

A lot of the time we only save the control boards if we have similar machines in house. All of the contractors have to many cycles to save. Electric machines we save the drives and motors.

I’ve inspected the chains at Millacrons mfg plants on the far east side of Cincinnati… those things are impressive but also weigh a ton… crazy to see one at the end of its life

Can you show us more millwright stuff like this :)

Hay Dan do yourself a favor and spray the chuck on your m12 sawzall with surface shield from blaster, those chucks are notorious for freezing up I know I have one. BTY I'm a big fan of the m12 tools also.

😎

Do you have air lines hooked up to push the water through the return on your machines ? I was surprised to see so much water.

42:42 not very safe to stand on the top of the ladder why not get the right size ladder?

Those milacrons from the late eighties and nineties were real workhorses but nothing lasts forever, what are they replacing it with?

Is that the plant you work at or do you own it ? It’s impressive better shop then where I work at lol

This job would be perfect for interns / students to do. Let them have at it and figure out how to take it apart . Wadda they gonna do, break it ???😂😂

what are u working on? what machine is this?

Dan you were doing so well untill you stood on top of your ladder. Safety says not to stand on the top of ladder. Why not use your sissior lift? All you need is your safety man to walk by asnd give5 you the busness of safety service. Read the instuctions on the ladder😥😭😭😭

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing it right. That's where pride lives.

How do you become a maintenance technician?

How big is the biggest press you guys have? We have a couple of 2500 ton structural foam presses. Most of our stuff is fairly large and in charge. From the 70s-90s.

I am a level 4 master industrial technician, also the Maintenance manager. I would be pissed if I walked on the floor and one of my guys was making a RU-vid video.
