I recommend you research the term “industrial automation”. A very common standard for industrial manufacturing machine components are called PLC, programmable logic controllers. Another common material is T-slot aluminum extrusion rails, commonly used for structural aspects of a machine, a common brand of these is called 80/20.

4:18 So the pins are sorted afterward depending on the diameter of the head. This implies that control of the glass head application is left up to chance. I wonder if there are days when the run just won't yield what size they are attempting to make.
2:30 glycerine is not an oil. It is a triol, which is in the alcohol group. It dissolves in water because it has polar properties. The actual name is glycerol or 1,2,3-propan-tri-ol.
I wanted to see how the mixed up masses of pins or needles were straightened out before they were packaged. Who cares about the end result, the tangle of pins and sorting them into neat packages is what I wanted to see.
@@hannaliza2221 Ohh, they electroplate nickel and then gold onto the heads. Basically suspending nickel ions in a solution, running a current through that solution, and then placing the pin's heads inside. They do the same with the gold.

No, well yes he probably has balls like the rest of us, but more to the point that he knows that the needles from that point don’t fire out quick enough to penetrate his skin.
Just as amazing as making products are the machines that make them... And the machines that make the machines that make the product... Clever little people are we.
I want a How it's Made movie that first focuses on one product, then explains how they make the machines that make the product, then the machines that make the machines , and so on and so forth.
I thought the heated metal has to be cool down slowly in order to make it stronger like they do it when building an aircraft. But here, they cool it really fast and no defects form as a result? Confused. Thanks for the video.
It depends on the metallic properties required. Rapid cooling makes the pins rigid, which is useful if you don't want them to bend when sewing, but the metal is brittle. Slow cooling of aeroplane parts reduces brittleness, allowing the parts to flex with the stresses of moving during flight, and not crack with metal fatigue.
surely if the sizing gap 'gradually narrows' then *all* the pins would fall through right at the start? if the gap starts big and gets smaller? it would have to start small and gradually widen to allow sorting to take place
In the 1800s, the process of grinding the needles to the point was done by hand, on large sharpening stones. The process was so dusty that the poor workman's lungs soon filled with dust, and most of them were dead because of this around the age of 40. Water could not be applied to the stones to remove the dust, as this would rust the needles. So, whenever you look an old needle, remember that some poor guy in the 1800s had his life drastically shortened to make it :(
That is sad indeed. Good thing engineers came up with a different and more efficient way of grinding the needles, otherwise, people would still be dying until now by just grinding needles.
Efren Joseph Padua It's not just better processes, but better safety precautions people take in any work activity. Remember the time people mined and handled asbestos without knowing how dangerous it was.

I would like to see a video on how acupuncture needles are made. They're a lot smaller and made from stronger metal. On top of that they need to be 100% clean and sterile.
Okay, I do not assume the pins are being held tight during the grinding process, how come they are not facing projectile death pins? And thanks for being helpful.
No and yes, it's really simple. Consider holding numerous pins between the palms of your hands, then move your hands against each other, you will see that the needles roll while you move your hands yet the pins stay between your hands and move the same direction as your hands eg, clockwise or counter-clockwise. That's how it works :)
Where do you buy a needle making machine? Better yet, where do you buy the machine that makes the needle making machine? Even better better yet, where do you buy a machine, that makes the machine that makes the needle making machine? Even better better better yet... Nevermind, my head exploded.
I've been wandering how needles are made for years now and untill now it never really occured to me to look it up on the internet... -_-" Thank you youtube!
I'm just seriously fascinated by the engineering that goes behind building the building machines
All very interesting, but I wish someone would make a video on how those automated machines that make the products are made.

They're assembled by hand. Many parts are machined by hand. Others are stock parts.

Who yah calling a pin head
Good ole Ironskin.
Professional point tester.
2:38, but how did they make THAT needle?!?!
what came first. the needle or the millions of dollars worth of needle making machines?
i thought the same , but i'm guessing they made the first one manually XD
tools are made from tools made from tools made from tools.
same process, this is just used to contain them, you can just pick a needle out of the pile for that
rjwaters3 Hmmm well played
So they don't sit on someone's leg for three hours and extract the pins and needles from there?
What
@M Pulverman oh 😂😂😂
Woke up at 6am to look this up because I needed to know how needles were made before going back to sleep…
Why am I binge watching How it's Made videos at midnight?
because your life has no purpose and you are drifting in a sea of worthlessness until the sweet embrace of death takes you, like the rest of us?
why ARENT you binge watching how its made at midnight?
too funny.
Same reason we all do. Welcome to the Club.
I was so amazed at the glycerine wrapping thing and rolling for two days🤯
Thank you so much for the amazing video How It's Made on Needles and Pins always wondered how they were made
4:22 presenter says "the gap narrows" in reality the gap expands.
+wcolby Shes too busy making all those puns to pay attention HAHA
wcolby whoa shit bruh
I thought the exact same thing! Well spotted!
its relative to which direction you're looking at it from. it narrows towards the end where the pins first drop onto

I'd have never guessed that THIS was How It was Made. Wow! I love this show.
Those needles are so well made; that every time they spot a defective one, is like finding a hey in a needle stack😝
Not a 'hey'. More like a YEET! In case of missed ones.
We can finally play finding a hay in needle stack :)
Where's the haystack?
hidden in 100000 needles
please see: How it's Made: haystacks
You must find it in the needle stack first
02:05 OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!!!
I have been waiting on pins and needles for this episode of How It's Made!
If they stitch the bundle of needles before they are ready where do they get the ready needle to stitch the bundle in the first place?

How do they put color on the pins

Wow, never put that much mind into something so simple.
2:37 - How did they stitch up the first lot of needles if they hadnt made any needles to stitch with yet?
They used an Awl and string.
more work than i ever thought to the making of needles.
Just as amazing as making products are the machines that make them... And the machines that make the machines that make the product... Clever little people are we.
Whats amazing is somebody designed and built the machines to make needles and pins

Omg a film on How its made.... this is brilliant.
Maybe at the end, they can talk about how they make an episode of How it's made. Inception 🤯
very good - our ancestors would be proud
Many operations have been done to make needle. Every thing is shown perfectly, from wire cutting to packaging.
How dare you list pins and needles BACKWARDS?!?!
Amazinc ,can you guide about the name of glass material for head of pins
lol you use needles to make needles
Pretty cool! Amazing what people can do!!
I want to start this manufacturing business. Pls some tall me about project plan.

Sitting there for 8 hours looking at needles? Everyday, all day?

This bundle looks so tight, I'm surprised the needles can tumble around at all when they're in the polishing tumbler
That's very interesting. I guess someone has to manufacture everything that we use.

Really appreciate your outstanding video. But it did not show the hay stack
A rich man once commissioned a giant needle with an eye big enough for his camel to pass through..
I assume the pins are being held tight during the grinding process, if that's the case, how does the pin get sharpened evenly?
I wouldn't assume
Okay, I do not assume the pins are being held tight during the grinding process, how come they are not facing projectile death pins?

The pins actually roll while the wheel that holds them into place rotate. Thus they are evenly sharpened.
There are individual holders? it looks like a simple grab mechanism though.
No and yes, it's really simple. Consider holding numerous pins between the palms of your hands, then move your hands against each other, you will see that the needles roll while you move your hands yet the pins stay between your hands and move the same direction as your hands eg, clockwise or counter-clockwise.
