30,000 Square Feet of SPACE! - Shop Tour of Miltera

- How 'bout another shop tour? This time Angelo and I go to Miltera for the day to see a couple beater machines, and we also got to see their new 30,000 sq. ft shop!! Basically we're thinking about getting a beater machine or two for cutting foam and plastic so we can free up some machine time for knives and, of course, pens. If the price is right, we'll see what happens. We'd also like to thank Miltera for letting us stop by for the day and poke around their shop, we're SO excited for you guys! We feel very lucky to be so close to so many manufacturing facilities.

I can hear saunders grilling you in the podcast from here.
DO IT ANYWAYS, slay those repairs and PRAISE THE LATHE.
I always wondered why you sold your tormach, instead of using it to cut foam.
Not enough RPM for sure...... I have a different vision anyway - don't get rid of something you are used to ... I have a haas now and I have a tormach , and I can say I will never sell the tormach.
🤔 Drop ship them to the repair facility that gives you the best quote to fix them, while you lean out a better stream line for their usage, and make a spot to fit them. Lof a portion of the back shop? You have pretty high ceilings, it could work 😉
It's always that one purchase that sends you over the space constraints!
Interesting older cnc mills...It's hard to pass up a 30,000rpm spindle and they would of cost a bit back in the day for that feature alone. Looks like you need a bigger shop, it's getting pretty tight in there with the new Tornos swiss lathe. I'm looking forward to your next video on your new Tornos Swiss lathe to see it in action.
I was so not-expecting 32K RPM my mind assumed you said 3200 for a second. "Pff 32 hu....thousand? whoa"
Isn't your shop 'full' now and you are looking at two more machines ? I see a shop move coming up ?
I hope you have a good accountant... You're very good at spending money!
Congratulations on your two new machines
John, out of curiosity... how many square feet does your individual shops have?
Maybe look into a CNC router of some kind for the foam and plastic and small aluminum stuff.
Bingo. Nobody needs a 15hp milling machine to cut foam.
Getting bigger. Enjoy the ride
More toys! ... well im sure you can find someone to either retrofit or repair them ... new shop too ... epic stuff
main news not about moving again, but new machines? addicted, in a good way :-)
John, you need to talk to your mate Aaron Gough...he has experience with renos on older machines and I bet he has some good contacts that you might be able to leverage to get your two new machines up and running...
Yes, they can bee good machines. But!! Will they bee?? Cat in a hat!! Good luck!
If you have to store those two machines try to start them from time to time. I have made bad experiences with letting old machines sit around and heard a lot of people say the same. The IGBTs and Capacitors of the drives often get damaged when switched on after a long time. Or you might lose the data on the control, if you dont have a backup that can take some time to fix. Had these problems with both of my machines after 2 or 3 months of sitting around. (one with the same simodrive drives as the machines you want to buy)
Congratulations 👌🏻 I’m sure you’ll sort them out and have another two spindles to rely on 👍🏻👍🏻
cool video looks like an exciting place you visited there.
most likely looking at the hardware its heidenhein 530 controls, it can be 430 as well. It will tell you when you power up the machine
Heidenhain hasn't really changed much the last 20-25 years, so it will look much like the things you saw at Kern, except for some machine specific functions.
The spindle drive problem could be as simple as a parameter, most likely you can transfer the parameters from the machine with the working drive.
The tool changer should be simple to fix, from the description it sounds like its the sensor for changer being under the spindle that's bad.
It could also be the unclamp sensor in the spindle should be an easy fix eihter way.
looking forward to seeing an update on a possible new shop and those 2 milling machines
Heidenhain TNC 430 controller on those bad boys same as my DMG. Is it glass scaled? The controller is epic and so easy to use compared to fanuc. I have both fanuc and heidenhain. Good luck with it.
Get you learn heidenhain and you will love it
Good decision to buy those machines. Go for it
If you don't mind me asking... How much?
this type of work is a dime a dozen in cambridge. you should switch gears and take a look at what some large machine shops do in Ontario.
i work for one of the largest in Canada located between London and Hamilton and we do wayyy more interesting work than little turbines lol.
I think that is the only thing they were allowed to show...
Where the hell are you going to put this?
That electric forklift might pay for itself should you need to move.
Both an easy fix by the sounds of it. Even config you plc data encoder fault on x, might be just a poor connection. You just need a good service engineer. Shame your not in the UK or i could help. Thats if they are telling you the whole truth about them.
New series, "SKY DIY" we follow he intrepid adventure of young plucky Sky find his way through a DIY restore of two older machines, the highs, the lows and eventual first cut video.
Coming soon to Grimsmo Knives
Look at a clicker press for cutting foam
Make sure you don't inherit a problem.. lol
you first have to get a bigger shoop ;)
A linuxcnc retrofit is not difficult but is time consuming. Write off inventing new products for a while though if you do it yourself.
If the price is right and your knowledge these machines are up and running in no-time.
I know exactly which building that is they just bought.
I think used cnc machines can get a bad rap because usually by the time the person your buying it from usally there selling it because its clapped out or something completely wrong with it. But if you know whats wrong and all you need it to do is one thing why not. Its a shame to by a new cnc mill to cut foam and a cnc router might not hold the accuracy you need for the inlays. I mean a new haas tm1 is like 24k i think and that has it limitations.
well ofc 24k is cheap for a CNC machine lol. 80k is entry level 200k for modern industrial with technology
@@Juxtaposed1Nmotion yea 24k is cheap but those mill are still a better value than the haas tm1 thats what i was getting at. Like the spindle rpm and it being a hsk spindle with a chilled spindle there a good machine but the haas has non of those options
Make a robot cell using new machines,use portable robot arm learn lots lights out.
@@John-ik2eg so true
32k RPM that's pretty fast for an old machine
It would probably cost a lot to have the spindle rebuilt. Also the torque has to be pretty low unless it has a gear drive spindle which makes it more complicated.
I enjoyed the video, but this definitely wasn’t a shop tour.
miltera thinks they are doing ground breaking turbine mfg. safe guarding things the Europeans have been doing for 10 plus years on much LARGER work peices and holding the same positional tolerances.
Dont lose time with old machines. There is no any positive mathematic in it. Bay new machine. What ever it is unthill is new.
You'll NEVER find parts for those pieces of junk..... you DON'T WANT THOSE.....
