Love it, our biggest issue currently in South Africa to try and attempt lights out machining is backup electricity. At the moment we only have 14 hours of electricity per day intermittently and talks of less in coming weeks. The automation is sophisticated and expensive but once you look at back up power to run the shop constantly, it becomes a challenge of a different kind.
Communication within the South African manufacturing industry is shocking to say the least. Electricity is one of many issues our local industry faces.
I’m having a hard time comprehending the enormity of this. All the engineering and manufacturing it took Heller to make all of this. Simply mind boggling. There are so very many machine tool builders out there it also blows my mind 🤯. Great video as always. Thx for all you do to promote the trade.
Just got back from Marinha Grande, Portugal, (the moldmaking heart of Portugal) These Pallet systems are what most companies use for machining of inserts, plates, and electrodes. With the added step of CMMs measuring the parts that come off the machines automatically to confirm the quality. Super impressive!
I absolutely love how patriotic Americans are. I only wish more Brits had the same "bring work back home" attitude that you do sir! Great channel, love what you do.
@@angrydragonslayer hahahahaha I hear that. My shop just hate spending money on better equipment, and no one but a handful of us have a real passion for machining
Love your vision and strategy. Would love to see such factory as yours here end Denmark. I use some manufacturers in my daily work here in Denmark. But not near same level of gear and machines as yours.
Hey Titan, great job explaining the automation being set up. I am wondering just how much machining knowledge will be required in the coming years with CNC becoming more mainstream and it effectively becomes more akin to computer programming for setting up the systems? I do enjoy watching the "old school" machining and seeing the part come forth but also CNC fascinates me due to my computer tech background. Keep up the awesome work everyone
Do you guys have any videos on high feed milling with high feed cutters and such? You guys should make a video on high feed milling vs high efficiency milling. Pros and cons of each. Basic guiding principles that help you decide when you should use one over the other based on things like material, part design etc.
Great move, I love automation with FMS and robots. I am curious how the program structure will be that you are going to use. In our shop, we give every pallet an short program to start in with the actual "head" pgm as sub and all offsets in a "G10" sub pgm. Then we have a daily 100% speed pgm and for nighttime and weekends a 80% speed pgm 😅 There is a lot to think about.
Do wounder if there is a mill equivalent to Swiss lathe ( small'ish/small for the volumeof parts it spits out over a set time . Super fast. super precise. And working at like 4 plus parts at the same time( multi spindle type with buildin part flippers like sub spindle on a lathe ) Just wondering if it actually exists and how cool and smart that would be for big/large orders with meany parts
Education question, Hear a lot about the 24/7 working. These machines are build to last. But, my question is, can we get a video with some daily/weekly/monthly or whatever time maintenance that they need. Maybe you guys have some special nuggets of knowledge you won't find in the manufacter booklet of maintenance. Should be a good education video
Today's lesson: read the data sheet to determine how heavy something that has to be moved with a forklift is before that item arrives at your facility.
How to make money with such a pallet holder if your machine fits on such a pallet, I don't have enough machines to occupie all that storage space. Althoug... with a lifting chair instead of the turret it make might be a nice work shop... 😁
5 Feet and 5 Fixers that's something, but I'm not sure 50 machines with 5 guys running them is a good metaphor. That is like peak success... We should be more realistic. Meanwhile I'm in college going for my Associates in cnc and all we run are Haas and Okumas. And there's only like 7 of them 😂
Now if I have a TH-cam about machines and get popular I to can have new crqzy expensive stuff installed for advertising or hire someone with a pallet jack
fantastic video and the explication of the machines is awesome . i just finished a video on stone jars from ancient Egypt and the light scanning and the accuracy achieved in making the vase that has been scanned and studied is mind blowing th-cam.com/video/Hxg5cgdOz-Y/w-d-xo.html i know you work in metal but the beautiful job on the 50 cal and explaining the process was fascinating and if you are looking for a project this may be up your street . if their is any one able to replicate this in metal and to give a breakdown to the process in manufacture and difficulty's encountered it is you gentlemen .

I image machine power consumption suddenly becomes a concern and how long you can run on backup.
@@MetrologyEngineer Manual machine would be bad lol...
Imagine a mill just shutting off on a finish pass 🤣
south africa is going down the pipe !
Also from south africa if you hiring or know anyone shops looking for an operator I'm your guy

One hell of flexible machining system. I’m super excited. One hell of Boom
Great machine!
Great workers!
Great parts!
Many greetings from 🇩🇪
Boom

Great channel, love what you do.
This thing is MASSIVE! I Love it!😂 To see you guys moving forward is truly inspiring!
Serious piece of equipment there. Just the install alone must cost a small fortune. Love the content. Much love and gratitude
Thank you for your kind words @tdg911! We appreciate your continued support! 🙏
Gotta love what you guys do! Huge inspiration and definitely a goal to visit you guys if I see the USA. Boom never be satisfied with the minimum.
Another level!! Sincerely taking inspiration from you ⚙️ regards from LAXMI METAL & MACHINES - Italy & India
Wish I could find a shop around here filled with people with such similar passion for machining.
I've found a lot around here
The problem is generally the owner and the new machine vs lambo dilemma
@@angrydragonslayer hahahahaha I hear that. My shop just hate spending money on better equipment, and no one but a handful of us have a real passion for machining
@@CPTFiXtion yeah... The "eh, why try, the boss will just say no and have a ferrari as well soon" attitude is pretty common
Very inspiring 👏🏼
Love your vision and strategy.

We got a Puma3100 and a UMC1000 in Sweden if you want to check us out!
@@bauerwts do you have a webadress?
awesome content, awesome machines.
Shop looking pretty nice over there in FloMo!
Gorgeous machine! Sheeesh
That's Heller nice 😄

Always the best machining videos 👍💯
Raiders of the fast pallet . Bullwhip-machinist Titan academy are Hired to find the datum of work stations to obtain it's awesome powers BOOM
Would be nice to see some hermle with rs1 or rs2 automation. This robot can handle paletts and parts!

titan when you building a foundry on site lol
Would Love To…
@@TITANSofCNC dunno if you've seen all the vacuum arc remelting stuff coming out now in UIK and EU, all electric and way more efficent.
JMOR is the best rigging company I have ever used.
I've installed machines all over and I will have to agree. Really love working with these guys. Every crew has been great!
Great cnc 💥 boom
Boom 🔥
❤🎉
When are you using these machines? Such a good Machine just for TH-cam ☹️
11:53 AMEN!

Look at sw machines. 4 spindles in cut 5 axis
Couldn't you ask for all the outside panels to be glass? Would be cool.
Great
How thick are y’all’s concrete slabs there?
How repeatable is the loading of the pallets into the machine?
Repeatability in the same machine should be within a couple tenths or about 10 microns.
Makino, where is it after 2 or 3 years?
Boom, Boom
How many pallets du you have on the machine?
Bam Oida! Fix Oida!
okey, Awesome.🤣😂

Titan and Trump make America great again. Thank you so much to bring the technology back to the state
Only if trump can get across the court and jury hope he make it through

Is the course titled "CNC" proper?
It's an MTT Machine Tool Technology degree. It's all CNC
Now if I have a TH-cam about machines and get popular I to can have new crqzy expensive

Can you teach
6:50 That sounds really tedious to teach every single position.

Hi
wtf is a pallet system ?
Lol . Youre not the rest of us , homie.
