@@VegetableOnWheels specialized hardware requires specialized tools. specialized tools cost money, and specialized staff to operate them and they deserve to be paid fairly. you cant make something for nothing, especially something that can be completely customized.
as i german i can tell u that machine wouldnt be allowed to be used in a industrial environment here. There a special curtains for blocking laser beams, i would definetly look in to them just for security when u make the cover or even hang them over crtitical spots like slids where it come through. In Germany there would be no allowance for any potential spots where beams could come through if people without the glasses work in the same room. Really you good to see that u are also concerned about them!
Zach, if you haven’t invested in nesting software for your laser I would strongly suggest it. I ran a number of very large manufacturing businesses, and have purchased more than a few lasers. As your production ramps up, nesting software helps you optimize how the parts are placed on the sheet steel. By doing so it significantly reduces waste and reduces the amount of cutting by allowing parts to share perimeters (single cut for the edge on two parts). All the banging you had to do on parts would be significantly reduced with nesting software. BTW, I love that you are sharing this with your young viewers so they can get a glimpse into how manufacturing is more than tedious assembly work.
This is an unusually sane and correct video on the matter of laser safety, not just for youtube but for the industry in general. Thank you for being kind to the eyeballs of your employees, and educating the public about this often under-represented hazard.
Lab technician from a laser research lab here: this is insane and I'm pretty sure such a product would never be sold here in Europe! Using a 4000 W laser with that much space for the reflections to pass through is not great and I was especially surprised that you could even use the device when it was open. Here it's required by law that a class 4 laser has a bunch of safety switches, and automatically turns off when enclosures are opened.
As a machinist who works with a variety of machines, including lasers, I appreciate the balance you’ve achieved between professional duties and personal fulfillment. Your ability to manage life’s expenses, contribute positively to others, and engage in fun projects exemplifies what I consider to be a truly complete life. Best of luck, and may you continue to enjoy every moment!
I'm in the sheet metal industry for over 15 years now (in Europe). Have tested and worked with a lot of brands but nothing can beat the well established brands like LVD, Trumpf, BLM Group and Bystronic. Their operational stability and the support of these brands (also for machines that are over 10+ years old, have been damaged by a fire or has been moved multiple times) has always paid back.
So far I can't share good expierence with BLM lasers. Delicate, but not durable and service here in Baltics is just bad. Have been with these machines for about 7-8 years. In lasercutting community big 5 are Trumph, Bystronic, Mitsubishi, Amada and Mazak.
@@KashelizI only have experience with the Adige tube lasers of BLM group. We developed our own postprocessor (instead of Artube). BLM group had outsourced their service to a local company years ago and then decided to stop cooperation with them and do service themselves. That was not the best period :-)
@@KashelizEver checked Kimla of Eagle? They are both from Poland and produce beautiful machines. Their support was very dedicated but we're not local to us.

Seeing this brings back those feelings 10-fold, not only are you sharing love for your wife, but everyone who shares her struggle of inaccessibility barriers.

They really aren't wasteful when you consider that they provide valuable information to consumers, which will reduce the amount of waste. Think of how many people watch each video. Don't you think that for every phone he destroys, several people decide not to buy it?
Physicist here who specializes on and works with high energy Lasers. The best and only protection is to buy laser safety goggles for specific wavelengths. It is imperative for us to not even enter the lab without the specific safety goggles on even if no experiment is running and the lasers are turned off. Light is a finicky thing and it's super hard to contain. You'll probably need the 700nm - 1050 nm one but will still suggest you to check the manual before choosing the safety goggles.
Zack, a word of advise to you and your technicians. Please wear hearing protection especially when performing tasks like the hammering at 6:18. I know you want to be able to hear your grand kids when they come around. I admire your work and your commitment to safety. Keep it up man!
Hi JerryRigEverything: When you cut something big out of a large metal plate and it gets stuck, you just have to (program the machine to cut some extra lines) so that it all falls apart automatically, instead of spending energy on separating it from each other, and instead of having a plate left with many holes, you can just cut a little extra and have some metal scraps that you can just throw into a container directly, without spending so much energy, When you cut pipes, you can have 2 pipes with rubber at the top, which the workpiece falls onto so that it doesn't make noise, and if the 2 pipes are a little slanted, they roll down/away before the next pipe comes, and you are free from having a man to stand and turn until the next pipe is cut free Regarding cutting workpieces free in a plate automatically, there are probably some videos on youtube, and regarding pipes there is probably the same, Why develop something that has already been developed in advance Have a nice day Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone
My heart melts at how intelligently your business empire is set up and relies on a community to make it thrive… such a uniquely impossible feat you are executing. Congratulations!!
I flipped my wheelchair last year trying to get home from the ER because there was no medical transportation last year. Again as I have said before thank you for helping those of us stuck in these wheeled devices.. They look so awesome! If I ever lose some weight I will have to get me one of them! Well my shoulder is going to have to heal some first I guess but they look amazing and better than the ones i had in the nursing home back in 2020.
Class IV lasers are safe with a torturous path. But those doors don't really cut it. Saw your gold cybertruck in Clearfield this week though, it's very cool.
I've worked in many factories and operated a wide variety of large machinery and you sir is one in a few who actually consider workers safety most CEO only study their money and how much they can take in at the end of the year I give you full points for that g 99999999999999%👊🏾👊🏾
I appreciate that you devote your time, intellect and muscle to assist others to be able to have fuller lives through access and mobility. I really, really admire what you do. 💖
Even a rogue reflection from a 20W Diode laser used at home can be enough to cause instantaneous, permanent eye damage. Laser safety is no joke and should be taken very very seriously. I run mine in an enclosure with a laser safe window AND wear goggles at all times. And the goggles I use look a lot safer than the ones I see in this video, mine are closer to a ski goggle than anything else and it rests against the skin all around the eyes. There are ZERO gaps on it, the laser light has no way in. Also, speaking of safety on the floor, where are the respirators? At my job, anybody who welds or grinds all day use specialized respirators at all times when welding and grinding. They're two separate masks. But both have a unit you strap to your hip that feeds your mask with carbon and HEPA filtered air. Welding fumes can eventually cause cancer if inhaled for too long and grinding dust will wreck your lungs and also cause cancer in the long run. The masks are used in conjunction with fume extraction so others in the same workshop don't get exposed too.
its not just power but also wavelength. co2 lasers are "safer" because they dont penetrate the eye very well, so it takes much higher power to actually damage the retina. the fiber laser shown in this video or common hobby diode lasers are unfortunately right in the visible and NIR range, delivering pretty much full power to the retina.
A big issue with lasers is not just that it blinds you, but that it does so a little bit at a time and your brain already filters out a blind spot already and has no issue doing so with more blind spots. So by the time you can notice the damage to your macular, quite a lot of damage has been done. So taking lasers seriously is very important.
As an owner and operator of a up to 1.5kw hand-held laser, I can assure you, those things can cause serious damage, even on reflection or things in the background. Here in Germany you need special trainings and permissions to use those things (legally). And this time, the over-regulation is totally relevant. Here, this machine would be illegal without enclosing, and never operated with an open door. In my opinion, a fatal flaw of that machine.
and i was lucky to see you around...on Salt Lake City airport...flight from Amsterdam, that was the top of working trip to us...wish the best to you, your family and NotAwheelchair
The fact that this machine is legal to be sold without an enclosure and with those gaps is mindblowing to this european machine designer! Here the machine builder states that the machine is safe for normal use and abuse. If it turns out to be unsafe the builder will get screwed in court. I would make the needed enclosures quickly before someone gets hurt.
If watching your videos means you can continue to provide a great product for people who need it without making them have to pay more for it, then I will keep watching all of your videos. Keep doing great things.
Not only did you build an amzing engineering factory to provide low-cost premium-quality wheelchairs to people who don't have lots of money to spend, but you also created a source of livelihood for several engineers and their families. And you're not even paying yourself a salary from the revenue collected! What a great example of "Be the change you want to see in the world".
I work with laser too, we have CutlitePenta, its a well enclosed machine, and it tube and plane cut too, but it has automatic tube loading system, and auto tube unloading box
we have 2 similar machines, but here is an idea for you that we already do, when we use large sheets of steel like that we dont scrap the frame left behind, we make gates out of them... the interesting shapes left from the products being removed interests a lot of designers and model makers... we make 3foot to 12 foot gates from the left over sheets.
(You've probably thought about this already but just an FYI) Working in the operating room we use lasers to break up those pesky kidney stones and because of that we are required to do a yearly eye test called the Amsler grid eye test to make sure we don't have any negative effects from being around the laser, even though we wear eye protection.
Oh yeah it's dangerous. You know what is more dangerous? That mini lathe that you can buy for 500 bucks and can cut of more than you can imagine in the blink of an eye :D
I’ve got a lot of respect for what you do Zack, hopefully one day I’ll be able to make my own contribution to society such as you have. Thanks for the great content
When cutting larger and thicker materials, you can add in drop cuts (double passes to relieve areas so parrs droo free ) As for material handling for the rube , add a post handler robot arm ,,or an easier roller droo conveyor that allows the parts to drop free and past a door flap. The machine im sure is capable of adding pressure sensors and pneumatics to auto set height to material with some additional software programming added in. Awesome lazer machine, though!
Happy to see a good safety culture being developed in your factory! Something like PUWER might help provide a base for a good assessment of your processes.
Hi Zack, I wonder if you can add some of those green filter panels to the bottom of the machine. Sort of like a skirt to block the light. Similarly, since you are cutting the rod in straight line, adding a panel with a hole cut out with enough clearance for the tube to go through. That would reduce the angle in which the light can escape. It could be a double pane contraption to reduce the open area.
I wish you were in Australia as i would buy a lot of your products. Especially willy. I truly believe in your work helping others. In Sikhi this is called Sewa. Selfless service to others in this world. The overseas shipping is prohobitively expensive and i would much rather give youthe money instead of shipping.
Having installed three machines of this model and plenty more of the basic sheet cutting model (sold under a different brand where I live) I can tell that the black box is not a resonator but has enough space inside for one.
A video predominantly about how lasers can burn your eyes out is refreshing shortly after LTT did a video lit by lights that don't just burn your eyes out but also dramatically increase cancer risk(and wore zero protection). At least some large creators can get safety right from time to time.
Zach people already figured out a way to charge you for normal air we breathe that is Air purifiers. I am glad that they didn't made them subsrciption based.
Fyi, Ordinary cameras can see 1064nm and 1080nm. It's the purple glow in some of your shots. Ideally you want a cheap camera, or one you can take the IR filter out of. Old point-n-shoot cameras are good candidates but cheap cell-phone cameras work too. (and some SLR cameras make it super easy) So just make sure your guarding is enough to block this purple glow. A viewer camera also makes it MUCH safer if you ever have to work near the laser source..
Ytterbium is spelled like that because its name is derived from Ytterby Gruva, the mine where it was discovered here in Sweden. There's actually been a total of 9 Elements discovered there: Yttrium, Ytterbium, Terbium, Erbium, Holmium, Skandium, Tulium, Gadolinium, and Tantal.
-Make a slanted cut table for the tube cutter to roll pieces out of the cutting area and keep the shield walls up except for loading. -A roll or 2 of 6"x1/8" epdm rubber screwed to the bottom of the machine would keep the floor reflections in. A rubber door gasket would solve the door cracks. You're right they should've come with them, but in that they didn't..

That would reduce the angle in which the light can escape. It could be a double pane contraption to reduce the open area.
I wish you were in Australia as i would buy a lot of your products. Especially willy. I truly believe in your work helping others. In Sikhi this is called Sewa. Selfless service to others in this world.
The overseas shipping is prohobitively expensive and i would much rather give youthe money instead of shipping.
We love u from Ethiopia
Just liking the video because it's a willy cool CEO of a willy cool company and I wanna see a willy cool 11ft Willy.
Having installed three machines of this model and plenty more of the basic sheet cutting model (sold under a different brand where I live) I can tell that the black box is not a resonator but has enough space inside for one.
The screeching of pulling the metal off the machine sounds like a dinosaur :D
You can buy glasses that filter specific laser wavelength for extra security.
back in the 90s i remember these as a kid. they were made out of wood, and had a coil slot and would roll down to a collection jar.
I love notawheelchairs philosophy
Thank you for your great efforts
The bro Wooli will apreciate this more than anything
A video predominantly about how lasers can burn your eyes out is refreshing shortly after LTT did a video lit by lights that don't just burn your eyes out but also dramatically increase cancer risk(and wore zero protection). At least some large creators can get safety right from time to time.
Zach people already figured out a way to charge you for normal air we breathe that is Air purifiers.
I am glad that they didn't made them subsrciption based.
0:18 using the force to grab the camera.
Love your work man❤️
Brilliant as always 💚🤟
I may not agree with some of your opinions, but you are doing some great stuff with this company
1:45 I'm going to call eyes, "windows to the soul" from now on
keep doing what your are doing ! ❤ From all The Guest Family IN NYC.
Pretty cool.
Fyi, Ordinary cameras can see 1064nm and 1080nm. It's the purple glow in some of your shots. Ideally you want a cheap camera, or one you can take the IR filter out of. Old point-n-shoot cameras are good candidates but cheap cell-phone cameras work too. (and some SLR cameras make it super easy) So just make sure your guarding is enough to block this purple glow. A viewer camera also makes it MUCH safer if you ever have to work near the laser source..
It will be crazy to see a 11ft tall mammoth 🦣 !

Hey Zack if you ever need someone to come by the factory and wack some of those metal shape things free, please let me know! It looks quite fun
You’re on some poetic shii lately
Ytterbium is spelled like that because its name is derived from Ytterby Gruva, the mine where it was discovered here in Sweden.
There's actually been a total of 9 Elements discovered there: Yttrium, Ytterbium, Terbium, Erbium, Holmium, Skandium, Tulium, Gadolinium, and Tantal.
Good work. 👍
6:25 ahh yes, very persuasive, i see
-Make a slanted cut table for the tube cutter to roll pieces out of the cutting area and keep the shield walls up except for loading.
-A roll or 2 of 6"x1/8" epdm rubber screwed to the bottom of the machine would keep the floor reflections in. A rubber door gasket would solve the door cracks. You're right they should've come with them, but in that they didn't..
