In its last meeting, the FED bypassed the interest rate increase and stated that it would be satisfied with only 2 increases next year, contradicting the market that expected 4 or 5 interest rate increases. This means that the interest rate will hover around 4.00-4.50 in the USA next year. Because consumer demand is still very dynamic and growth figures are above expectations. This means that consumption demand will also be alive in 2024. Under these conditions, it would be too ambitious to expect an increasing trend in precious metals. I predict that today's figures for gold and silver will be sought in the medium term.
These machines are impressive. But we have to remember, machinists a century ago made parts of this scale operating and measuring all with their hands on levers and crank handles. Also, they did not have the carbide and diamond cutting tools that are common today. In some ways, what these people did was more impressive than what these Cnc machines can do.
Thank you for this comment. Even after larger CNC .machines were available, not all companies could afford them. I was a heat treating inspector for many years. We made our measurements with hand tools and made our calculations with slide rules. Sigh, we even had to have complex math skills.. In a way the new ways provide a repeatability that the old manual often could not. I worked at a large aircraft manufacturing company during the transition to macines capable of making multiple identacle parts. Our first machine could make three identicle parts at atime. This machine was not a CNC machine. It was prgrammed and tool changes made all by hand. Remember our old ways were once cutting edge new. I am 83 years old and worked in the metals and aircraft industries as these transitions were taking place. The same things were happening in the Quality Control areas. New Ways of measuring had to be devised. Sometimes I feel like a Time Traveler or someone plucked from one Time and deposited in another . But this time is better. It's always better. There never was a Good Ol'Days.
lol wtf are you talking about. No they weren't. Not out of solid metal. Not of this quality. Before press forges the best you could do is a hammer forge. And I'm not talking about a hammer like used to drive nails. We're talking massive weights driven by waterwheels or steam engines. And a century ago was not that long ago. They had press forges. You just wanted to try to say something smart but you forgot the thinking and research part.

I visited siempelkamp ten years ago, the german foundry and machining firm also included in the footage here. They were working on a 100 000 ton press, to let the russians make rocket and airplane parts from titanium more effectively. All hail capitalism... I wonder if there are even bigger presses today?

the weber press is the largest in the western hemisphere, the largest pull down style press built to date, and the largest ever built to date with privet money, as of 2018 ish, when it was put into service, not highest tonnage ever but in several catigories its the largest of its type 60,000 tons of force applied
@@davidrule1335 yea no thats not even the largest open die press anymore, thats around 20000 or 25000 tons open die, but I saw the press with the blue frame on it and thought we were referencing the webber press which is the largest pull down type and biggest in the western hemisphere of the closed die type at 60000 tons.

This is the type of machine that the public NEVER gets to see. Thank you for this video. What an amazing mill.
2:11 I didn't realize how much of these machines are underground, and how massive a foundation they need. The "iceberg" of giant machinery!
Crazy cool machines great video
A thing of beauty. Large presses are the foundation of industrial leadership. Have been for 200 years and it's still true today.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!?
Pretty cool, man. Imagine the costs involved in tooling up machines like this.
Wait until The Hydraulic Press Channel gets ahold of one of these
HPC is why I have arrived at this very video lol
😂
11:05 That's a supremely rigid lathe and toolholder to be able to take a deep cut like that.

Weighing more than 25 metres in length..... sounds pretty heavy.😢
I heard that also and had to double check what I heard.
I think that they need an editor or script proof reader.
Meters are now also a unit of weight??? Interesting. 😂🤷♂🤦♀
Indeed it is very heavy
Not as large as 50 tons long.

Have you ever seen a machine as large as this?
Everytime i look in the mirror. 😁
Oil rigs and bucket wheel excavators are bigger, but nowhere near as cool :D
I worked on some of those components at Sheffield Forgemasters Engineering.
No thus is fucking cool
yes, rosie o'donnells vibrator
Nais .. I like .. T..y.
I see no women at work here, you know REAL work!
Why a huge ass pull down press instead of a conventional style press with the cylinders on top of the ram??
I'd love to know about the concrete they used for the base?
Hope they didn’t put that huge press near the San Andreas Fault?! .. CaWump! 😮
To make a one of a kind machine this big you several one of a kind machines this big. 🤔🤷♂️
So which one of those was first there? Egg or henn?
Amazing Video #Greatthings
The Animation looks more commedy Thane the reality.
How large is this device compared to the Methsa 50,000 ton press in Pennsylvania?
Impressive video, but you should have someone edit the script so that it’s more accurate and less general.
Any component - "specialized machines were used to precisely install it so that it can withstand the immense forces of the BLAH" 😂

Ref 1.53 ' tie rods weighing more than 25 metres in length ' what is the meaning of that ?

It may be the largest in the USA, but there are larger presses in China, and Russia.
