Sounds great .
I worked for over 15 years in the plastics molding department at GE back in the 80’s and 90’s. I was the setup and can’t count the number of installs in did during that time. We did injection and thermoset molding. This video brought back memories from back in the day. Some of the equipment was from the 1940’s while most of our equipment was state of the art, modern presses. It was nice to see the advancements in equipment that have been made since our factory closed.
Thanks for watching!
Hello, I am encountering an error when trying to import configuration XML files, with the message: “Object reference not set to an instance of an object.” Do you know what might be causing this issue?
Sounds like in your XML file there is a declaration of a object that is not assigned a value? Maybe look for another XML file? I am not very familiar with the software side
@@DragonflyEngineering I downloaded the XML files again from Beckhoff's official website to ensure their integrity. Anyway, thank you for your prompt response. Greetings from Argentina.
@@lucasnieva9251 maybe you need a different rev level to match the age of the beckhoff? is it new? I may be able to send you the XML that i pulled from my robot...
Hello, I'm from Ethiopia. I learned a lot from the video. One thing that I couldn't fix or had trouble with is when it opens the mold. How can I fix it? Thank you.
That brings back memories . I something similar back in the early 1970s molding 55 gallon plastic drums.

Neighbours suck sometime
Well, I don't think those rafters / roof will be going anywhere - they look pretty overbuilt! 2x8's or 2x10's or something? Wow! That's not a very long span, were those really necessary? It's not like you have snow load to worry about! Or are you going to put a lathe or something up there to really p'o the neighbors??
Well, it turns out that there was an additional 2” of a gap that was added on top of the original roof, so I had to upsize the 2x6 to 2x8 pluse 3/4 plywood on the one side. Thanks for watching!
@@DragonflyEngineering Oh, that makes sense. So were the rafters in the existing side also super beefy and upsized? I can see why you'd have to match that to get the roof deck to line up
It must suck to have litigious neighbors.
jerk neighbors come in many varieties, but litigious has got to be one of the worst
Yes it does, but on the other hand I got me going on building a second house, so I make out in the end

Just a bit on the rough side though, 😂
Hey i am from india and i work in plastic moulding company. You make amazing video a lot things to learn from your video
if you wanted to get into programming parts for this type of stuff, but you don't have a cnc machine to do the actually machining on, is there a way to get your hands on this software or some form of simulator?
@@kiegh autodesk fusion 360 cad cam software can be downloaded and used maybe for free if you are a student or at least not a company. For mastercam you would need to ask your local reseller
Thanks for sharing your exceptional knowledge. Truly inspirational.
The most underrated tool in metal machining... COOLANT! Even when you are milling or turning a softer material; it will preserve the life span of your cutting bits/carbide inserts.
It’s pretty safe to say you might not ever have to buy another bandsaw in your Lifetime if you put a little TLC and time into this unit the DoAlls are pretty much the Caddalac of them. all I have family that owns large Machine Shop and I’ve volunteered to help them set up newly acquired Machinery as my Profession was Woodworking and I have a bit of experience setting up large heavy Machinery that are also highly accurate and Precise the Do All uses a CVT Pulley System to change the Speeds it’s basically the same style system Snow Mobiles and many Golf Carts use to transper Power from the Engines to the Drive Wheels

That's a good size slab. You got a tank to park on it? 😊
you want aluminum rectangle tubing for your screed not bar stock. so its not all floppy.
Thanks, the guys who did the work had a tube screed like you described. I used the flat bar since I can use it for machinig stock later on. Thanks for watching!

On the model trains - do you know there are self unloading model wagons? In case you don't want to bag your parts and just unload them.
nice feature. Thanks for watching!
Nice job !
I do appreciate to download Very useful and easily understanding videos . If you can make another video how to adjust scew position, residence area and cuscine area.. injection pressure and speed,hold pressure and time etc etc. Water temperature for polipropilene,ABS,FB,POM metrial.
so glad you included the swearing parts.. your machine sure is clean..
Yep, part of the job. Thanks for watching!
90 ton? Really? Maybe 9,0?
The 90 ton is the clamping force of the molding machine, it weighs about 3.5 tons. Thanks for watching!

Need a company to produce me a mould for polyurethane injection molding. Are you able for these parts? Length 70 cm height 10 cm
You really want to give a 3 axis robot ago with a wide long conveyor belt. As you can do most things if all the tooling has conventional ejector frames, a 6 axis robot is just not needed like in a car industrial assembly line. It would speed up the de-moulding time by 5 times and then you can program the robot to stack the parts on the conveyor belt and if you need rotation other than the standard wrist on a 3 axis robot you can add an extra rotate cylinders for 90 and 180 degrees rotation or a motor drive for any axis on the head. Once you try it you will not go back, as you can just increase the size of the conveyor to run a machine 48 hours if required. This is if you have the space of course, but if you have I'd try one even if it's an older pneumatic one.
OK thanks for the tip, I will try one out one of these days. The 6 axis is just too easy to setup
@@DragonflyEngineering If you do get one, I would recommend a ATM robot, the palletising is easy, you have like 9 settings on one page for height,width,depth,etc, it's very easy to program compared to say a Wittmann, Sepro or Star, with them robots you keep a master program and modify it to suit but an ATM (Automatic Timing Machine Co) robot you can write a program from scratch as it's very intuitive, as it uses pictures for your i/o's. Just get one with a touch screen pendant, the older type (touch screen) are bigger and easier to use the touch screen, it's faster to write with, but heavy, but the new ones use a generic touch screen with it's own software which works but the screen is 40% smaller, but it 50% lighter but I like the old ones, but they are 20 years old. But if you can even get them over your side of the world, they are worth a look. The older ATM robots before the touchscreens are a nightmare in comparison if you do look out for one. All the best.
Your obviously a very clever man much smarter then I ever could wish to be. But I have 1 question why Hass to me their garbage and i personally would not give any shop work that use Haas
You are not a smart man. You said it yourself. Haas are just fine. They are deployed far more than any other machine brand on the planet, they get a bad rep from low information people such as yourself spreading superstition.
Hi Chris, the biggest factor is cost to enter 5 axis milling...Yes, In the past, 12 years ago, I had to get ridd of a new Haas VM2 mill due to the spindle being thermally unstable and would change height during my long run mold surface mill cut. This 2019 5 axis mill is really good so far. It holds less than 0.001" blend from side mill to top mill. 3 axis drift is ~0.0001" so far. So I changed my mind for this mill, not sure about their other mills but they may have fixed their spindle problems from the past. Thanks for watching!
@@DragonflyEngineering thermal compensation wasnt a problem with the spindle it was a feature that didnt exist in the software. which it does now, just like a dmg. :)
@@DragonflyEngineering I can’t disagree with that…spent 30 years on the APPS started @ Mazak worked for Deckel Maho now DMG Amongst others all 🇬🇧 based..Been in thousands of companies ranging from 5 machines to literally 100s in all shapes and sizes..The Amount of Horror stories I can tell you about Haas is terrifying…I wish you all the luck in the world with that UMC I can’t think of anyone who deserves it more…
@@DieselRamcharger the problem I had was a bad bearing that would get itself into a chatter 5 hours into a 10k rpm run, so it would get hotter for about 1/2 hour, then fix itself then cool down again. The machine had thermal comp and I would let it spin for 45 minutes before I start the cut
"Reel", innit? Anyway, real interesting, thanks.
Thanks! I fixed my typo. Thanks for watching!
If you intend to stretch out the battery life by replacing the bad cell(s)(it only takes one bad cell to do this) then find the cell(s) that aren't boiling and you'll find the bad ones. Get good cells of the same capacity and replace those bad cells and you might get awhile out of that battery. The cells are bubbling when it's not on the charger because the good cells are discharging through the bad cells to equalize the battery voltage. However, it's the good cells that are bubbling, the bad cells are shorted. Bubbling only comes from the hydrolysis that's happening as current passes through the electrolyte in the good cells. Really, this battery is toast. Rebuilding it by replacing out the bad cells will arrive you at one of the good cells taking a crap soon thereafter and you're back to square 1. That battery should cost somewhere around $6K, start saving. The salvaged old battery is going to net you somewhere around $1500 so there's a savings there. I've fought lead acid batteries for decades. When they go - they go.
Thanks for the tip! I am going with lithium ion strap on batteries.
If you don’t fear a hydrogen explosion and operate the lift to drain the battery then you might as well use power tools to remove the bus bars.
If it’s literally boiling away I’d gtfo quick in case of a hydrogen gas explosion.
Big fan of the pan handle brush as a hammer 😝
Give the end of the screw shaft a shot of WD 40 and that squeak will go away.
Helped with a conversion once, and we just melted the lead down and cast it in to bars. Put the bars in the bottom of the battery tray. Was enough room for the lithium on top with the rest of the bars around them.
Methinks thou needs to shove the neutron absorbing control rods in more...
1:03 sounds like a stomach issue 😂

PBRchaeology? Those beer cans were a poor excuse for rebar! With regard to the chisel shaft lube- it reminds me of the case lube used when resizing brass cartridges back when I reloaded my own ammunition. The cartridges expand radially when the powder burns, and you typically use carbide dies to return the cartridge to the proper O.D. If you don't use lubricant, the brass cartridge will conform to the I.D. of the sizing die and be difficult (at best) to remove. I'm guessing that the chisel shaft lube serves a similar purpose. GREAT music!
For larger projects like this, I've seen a few people recommend the larger electric jackhammer from harbor freight. It's like the size of a pneumatic one, but electric, and supposed to be pretty decent. Being taller, you might have less back ache from bending over all day
The pneumatic jackhammers are much more effective than the electric ones, but then you're also renting the compressor.
Is there some weird permitting reason you didn't just knock it down and build a new one?
@@advicevice yes, the garage is really old and is built on the property line, so if I knocked it down the I would need to build a replacement 6 ft back from the property, thus a smaller garage
