Important use of robots, yes, but I'm surprised at how much of the work is still done by hand. I couldn't believe the guy tightening bolts with a torque wrench, and then making hand-written notes in a little book! Surely the construction of a cheaper, higher volume engine (for instance for a Corolla) must be a lot more automated...
I think that what was shown here, were what are called "audit engines", where 1 out of say 100 engines is checked on manually. The normal assembly is likely indeed, a lot more automated.
Not every engine is tested as it would take too long, they test random builds to ensure quality remains throughout production. The guy doing the torque at the end is doing a QC check to make sure that everything is being properly assembled, and again does it on random engines, not every engine. What is missing are the machines that do break in procedures prior to final engine assembly. This is usually done after the heads and timing components are fully assembled but before the covers are installed.
You failed to mention the aluminium used for casting is an alloy containing copper, silicon, manganese and magnesium to make the material much harder than pure aluminium would be. Pure aluminium is soft and unsuitable for engine components and the alloy used contains 10% to 15% additives. This is true for the cylinder heads and pistons as well. These additives are clumped together in the material, however the alloy is heat sensitive and a severe overheat results in the hardening elements dissipating, resulting in a softening of the material. The cylinder head may be too soft to clamp the head gasket adequately and the clyinder head retaining bolts can lose tension due to the alloy they seat on slowly collapsing.
I was disappointed that the machining processes on the engine block casting (other than honing the cylinder walls) was entirely omitted. Close up shots of the block showed the mating surface of the head having been previously machined as well as the fuel pump mounting, etc. But, we did not get to see it.
I still can't get my head around not only what these machines are programmed to produce but the fact that people were genius enough to make the machines that produce the product in the first place. Truly amazing.👍
can we connect our basic education like basic physics, chemistry up to intermediate level to thoroughly understand its concept to the hi tech industry? we may come out of rote learning process and conclusively clear all subject of physics, chemistry and applied mathematics
Actually to torque bolts by hand is the best way. But of course very time consuming. The person can keep a close eye on the tolerances. Porsche, Ferrari all the expensive engines are hand built for that purpose.
Engines were made by humans and the vehicles driven by humans >>> Engines made by robots and the vehicles driven by humans >>>Engines made by robots and driven by robots>>> No more engines by 2035. Robots remain to drive the new electric assembled by robots. Humans will be more unemployed.
nothing here about making crankshafts, pistons, heads, camshafts, oil pump...the list goes on. It is a wonder they can be produced so inexpensively considering all that is involved.
Every step of this video is a different engine. The casting is a cylinder head. The boring is a steel block, and the block itself goes from inline 3 to 4 to V6.
All the hi-Tech accurate measuring and clean work environment, add to that clean sand and Aluminum , no wonder they put out a suburb product, I bet they don't have to use a hammer to assemble their engine. Maybe the Pakistani Truck folks should watch how's its done.
Great video, however it would have been even better if the music was not added to it. When will content creators finally wake up that background music is not a requirement for a good video..SMH
Very refreshing to watch this after watching pakistani workers trying to manufacture something using a random alloy in a sketchy / unsafe workshop, wearing sandals.
No No No the block doesn’t move the pistons move up n down… the aluminum is light weight… can you imagine sliding in a Detroit Cast Iron block into a mini BMW… the power to weight ratio would be awful although once you get a steel or cast iron block going down the road it’s like a Cadillac smooth…
A pity they missed 2/3 of the operations to actually machine and build an engine. Though engine?? It only has 3 cylinders. How long has BMW been manufacturing in China?
I have a 1968 Mustang coupe that was sold new in December of 67. Lifelong Southern California car bought at palm springs ford..289 , factory AC. Automatic transmission, power steering, and 4 wheel MANUAL brakes! LOL. White vinyl top. Has the cool turn signal lights in the hood. I bought it in 1977, my last year of high school. Was in great shape, I paid 600 dollars for it. Which of course was alot more money then than now. Is in excellent condition, still on the road. The original engine, only thing done to it was a new timing chain in 1982. My car was built at the SAN JOSE plant. Was 9 years old when I got it, now she's coming soon to 55 years old! Fortunately, I decided to stay 18...........I also have my parents 58 cadillac they bought in 1960. Its still on the road too.
I hate the added music. These videos are interesting because they are real and amzing. The music takes away the authenticity of the place and the ability of the audience to get a more realistic experience.
All of these will become obsolete in the coming years as internal combustion engines with pistons and other moving parts will be replaced with electrical motor engines. Engine oil and other related stuff will become useless.
We are no where near that point, and i seriously doubt if it ever happens completely. I dont know if you know what batteries are made from, but they ain't called rare earth minerals for no reason 🤣🤣🤣
Ones that don’t break all engines that are made today are junk they don’t last of course that’s all by design that’s how manufacturers get rich because they know that the engine will break after the warranty is up I like the engines from when they originated up through the 90s because they were built to last and they didn’t require a considerable amount of maintenance like these new ones do these new engines are very sensitive just like the people that are on the far left any little thing and they have a breakdown
Too many plastic chain tensioners used on German cars. They go brittle when out of warranty. Also plastic hose housings that fail with heat and age. Penny pinching accountants.
The entire idea is to have a new car owner enjoy several years of carefree driving then BAM.. hit ‘em with huge costs to the point of screw it they trade in. So go to a Tesla Dealer go into Parts Dept. tell ‘em you want to purchase a full Battery Bank for your potential new model purchase…. get ready to walk out and buy gas or diesel. Have you seen the effects of taking a Arc Welding capable battery cell and smashing the car in a 80 mph T-bone or Head-on….incredibly fireworks…

This looks like a chinese factory, here in west more is done by machine, but still some part made by hand

thanks for sharing! very interesting to know
i was just searching for this answer and was about go to google after few comments and i saw this comment. thanks for the info🔥🔥
Kick ass. The cylinder machining cross hatch was the best part. Thanks.
I am very much impressed by seeing engine block is made and testing.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for NOT having intrusive music! In the first half your voice is a bit difficult to discern. Best of luck!
You are correct. Parts of the commentary are indecipherable.
amazing process
Thanks for the tutorial
The robot,checking tolerance on sand casting,is quite amazing. A human doing this would be very boring and sloppy.
Thank you for your feedback :)
Which process you liked the most?
Most jobs are boring
2:51 Amazing how quickly they can do precision measuring these days!
My
That isn't measuring. The robot arms are cleaning the burrs on the casting buck.

Thanks, I wonder what sort of failure rate is on the castings?

That's what she said
It is amazing such factories exists
I feel that I will never be able to compete with the guys who design this factory.
But what robot created the robot to create the engines? AMAzing
Actually the first one always build by human after using that robot makes another robot
The molding sand is incredible stuff.

Amazing watching this and seeing how all of this disappears when we move to electric cars !
Pouring the liquid aluminum was the best part.
You can replicate with lead metal, such as lead sinkers for fishing, or pewter which melts at a lower temp than lead.
All process were good

what's truly amazing is how the robot picks up a straight 6 block and sets down a V6 block
Yes, I noticed that too. It's called Robot Transformation.
Never forget about safety. Use Softgle Comfort
2:36 looks like those two are talking to each other... wanna dance...?
When the Pistons fixed so amazing
Please make the videos as per PFD and with English subtitles.
German engine made in China ha ha ha
Thats exactly what I was thinking

They dont' do them one at at time. They use a multi tool.
I think the guy with the torque wrench must be doing a sample.
Ageed.

hmmm. looks pretty old school on some of the steps.
fascinating!
На блоках цилиндров нет чугунный гильзы?
The real question is how were they made ?
How do one determine horsepower and torque
Bore vs Stroke design rule’s not to forget Volumetric Pressure from the turbo against Compression Ratio..
They use a dynamometer
Background sound is too loud, how normal human being can't see this before rendering the file¿?
