Grinding was my speciality, Titan. When I was an apprentice at Lucas Aerospace, 1969, I was grinding some valve plates and was being watched by my boss. He complemented me on one being so good but I said it would be 2 tenths out and I was right. It was a guess but he was amazed that I could tell.
Aye , you are from the good ole days of manual machining. I have a lodge and shipley 25 standard with the copymatic attachment, it was used at Dr. Gerald bulls HARP program to make some martlet parts and the sabot that encased them. I hold high regard for machinists from that era.
@@lcarus42 Didn't Titan say they can use a grinding wheel that's like 16" wide? If so, 16" wide x 1" deep x 10"/minute is 160 cubic inches/minute of MRR. That's ABSURD!
HAAAAAAAAAAA GRAND RISING TEAM TITAN BIG AZZZZZZZZZZ BOOOOM. PERIOD POINT BLANK... BOOM BANG BOP DONE. !!!!!!!!!!!!! BALANCE AND WHOLENESS FOR SERENITY
*5:16** I'm glad you clarified that, because Titan said a tenth of an inch earlier in the video **1:04**, and I was like, uh-huh... my grinder can also do a tenth of an inch, lol.*
Friendly suggestion--make sure whenever you guys have someone on an aerial man lift that they have their fall protection harness on and lanyard properly attached between the harness and the tie-off point on the machine. Would actually hate to see you guys get in trouble with OSHA when they see this video and come down on you guys!
I'm so envy of you. You love what you do, with such passion. It's also providing for your living and I guess you make good cash. On the other side, I struggle to find a reason to wake up. I'm not into CNC machining and I don't know shit about this stuff, but I still watch your videos. Keep it up m8
We've all been there man, If you want to change your life around and you're actually interested in machining; you should apply for a "part loader" or "Laborer" position at Tool and Die shops near you. If you want anything bad enough you'll push yourself to achieve it. Good luck brother!
Yess at last a beast surface grinder! Only at my bachelor mechanical engineering i had the Joy to surface grind , i always gotted hypnotized by the sound it makes , always loved doing grinding And always hitted tolerances , in that zenn state ☯️ Leaving my completly zenn afterwards. Oh boy would i love to operate it again. whoop whoop ☆☆☆☆☆ Grtzz from the Netherlands Johny geerts
Good to see some surface grinding. I do some work on an Okamoto ACC-1224-EX grinder and it’s pretty fun. I’m an apprentice so I’m not an expert on it yet. It will be interesting to see the way you do things. I am a bit skeptical that you can take an inch depth of cut on that new grinder. If you can, wouldn’t that wear the wheel down a lot? Why not rough the part on the mill then grind it?
Know nothing about creep feed!! The Okamoto's are amazing grinders. Could regularly grind a 2.0 finish which my German tool maker boss didn't believe till I ground a 1.7 and really flipped him out! It was a dedicated HP profilometer not tiny little Mitutoyo
When I was 16 in 77 starting my apprenticeship a new J&S grinder came in to the shop. I helped get the grinder in...then the grinder tried to pour the hydronic oil in and made a mess. @ 16 I stood there shaking my head and was asked if i could do any better, having helped my dad pour a lot of oil diesel in machines I said yes i can then poured the 5 gallons in with out spilling a drop lol
if youre excited about grinding you would love the facility where i work lol. you think this machine is a beast, well the magnetic chuck looks very small to me. we have studers, blohms, jungs, amadas. grinding is an amazing art
IDK seems like a short table for as big a machine it is. Let me know when you do precision profiling (radiuses and such) for die work and work with diamond wheels on carbide. Been there done that for years.
Ugh cant wait to get out of the peenshot room and be trained on a cnc machine like this lovely grinder you just got Edit: have you considered getting kern precision cnc machines since they have 2 machines with 2 micron (.000078 inches) accuracy?
A tolerance of “less than a tenth of an inch”?! What manner of sorcery is this? This magical technology shouldn’t be available until at least the 15th century!
Exciting to see manufacturing coming back to the USA and is using more advanced technology. Just wait until AI does the optimizations and you just give the design to the AI. It chooses the tools and paths and sequences to finish the part to spec in the least time. Hope to see that on these videos in the next few years.
How do you load grinding path data into this? Does the operator have to type in the data from a printed cut list, or are you networked into your CAD/CAM system?
I would imagine that it's networked in being a new, modern machine. I work at a fab shop that has several CNC turret presses that all predate USB sockets, and every single one of them has to have the program input from a cut list (there are 2 that are so old we had to put newer computers in them to make them easier to work with).
So with that disc design would that require different techniques to dress and touch off the grind wheel because a typical grinding and wheel are flat all the way across it's surface and because it's not a perfectly flat wheel and if trys traditional way of dressing the wheel would the wheel not explodes if trys traditional way of dressing it because of the wheel design
Listen, thats great and all, but it comes with such a small tabble???? I expected like twice the length on this bad boy. I mean, honestly looks a lot better than the machines i personaly run where i work, especly with the controller and all. Regardless, looks awsome and i cant wait to learn more about this machine.
So... This surface grinder's monstruosity is actually about the power, not about the size? As it doesn't look so big, compared to Proth PSGP 1015AHR, that we have.
1" DOC on Ionconel? I wanna see that. And I'd love to know where it falls on the 'cost effectiveness' scale. Hilariously expensive, kinda expensive, reasonable, cheaper?! (hah, as if). Just something quick like "To do this same cut with a shell mill would cost around $10, but with this method it's $50."
You could call it whatever you want, it's still a base 10 measurement system. Whether you call it an inch or a meter, they're both exactly as precise. Metric isn't any more precise than USCS. Just because some people aren't smart enough to wrap their head around another saying inches rather than meters, doesn't mean other people aren't. Derrrrrp.
Let the market dictates, if you build bigger stuff, metric or inch didn't really matter, any blokes can do it. But once you step into the micron territory it requires totally different set of metrology... That is opening a new challenge to their Kennametal lineup and TYROLIT combo. It is nice to know that Titan is heading to this direction... Also would like to see more of Mitutoyo's latest and this expensive Walter and the ridiculously expensive BLOHM grinding machines in action...
MÄGERLE, BLOHM, JUNG, STUDER, SCHAUDT, MIKROSA, WALTER, and EWAG or all brands of the Swiss STUDER Group who have their own range of TOP-LEVEL machines, .............Swiss quality is THE best there is, .......... Booooooommmm.
@@dieterlahme8604 European quality, ................ machining, 3D printing, grinding, measuring, tooling, optical fiber and lenses, plc/cnc controls etc, ............... the whole package is Booming. 😉
@@ytfan3815 he specifically mentioned "crazy" MRR (material removal rate). How slow the feed is doesn't matter in that case. Wether that "crazy" MRR is real or not still has to be proven. There's also no mention of what he's comparing the MRR to. I'm assuming it's compared to the usual maximum MRR on similar machines or grinding wheels
That is not big, good grief. The only thing big is all the sheet metal around it. I used to run an Okamoto that had a 36" table, and that was 30 years ago.
Okey so what is the deal? You teach how to grinde a perfect surface and precission withe the best and most expensive machine? I dont get it...do you teach the people out there how you buy the most expensive machines or what?
To teach what's out there and what machines can do. Lots of shops don't even know this type of machining exists. Where I live trade school doesn't even teach you to use CNC at all even though it's such a massive part of the industry now.
@@UnderearthEDO When you dont know this as a shop i will reconsider my actions and know how as a shop. I dont think that titan with his videos can do anything to a shop like this 🤷🏻♂️
@@MrEglisau Who knows, doesn't hurt to know it exists though. I Know lots of shops still operate using very old methods. Need to keep up with the new stuff one way or another.
