He is really flexing in this video more than someone with yacht, ferrari and multiple rolex watches... Crazy how much money he spent on this shop... Great work...
This is really important stuff. I work as a process technician for Parker Aerospace and there was a project I worked on where we were trying to reduce setup times at our 6 axis lasers. After doing some time studies and a standardized work combination table, I found we were walking to and from the rotary table to the shadowboard (about 6 feet away) 30 times per setup, and in that department there was approximately 45 setups per day. That meant we were walking roughly 1.5 miles per day (about 400 miles per year) to and from the shadowboard. I simply removed the shadowboard, and installed 3D printed tool holders that attached directly to the machine controller that could be pulled right up to the rotary. This meant they could simply pivot and have all the tools right there when they needed them. Ended up saving about a 10% setup time reduction, almost 600 hours of machine time, and a little over 30k in wasted labor / human effort.
With Variable-frequency drive pumps (Air or Hydraulics) you also generally save energy, because they can at lower speeds. Normal compressors run intermittently at their max speed.
One suggestion if I may, with your fire extinguishers, please please use a "clean agent", What I mean by that is a Halotron or even CO2. If you shoot dry chem into any of those machines, your done. The ABC dry chem will start to corrode in 12 hours, What the fire didn't get, the dry chem will. The migration of that dust is phenomenal.
Dude, I did what you’re doing back in 2014/2015... I have there words for you to google and study: VSM: Value Stream Mapping... work out the timestamps for every single operation and draw them up on CAD so you can see the lines and the wastage and organise your shop around that
Way ahead of you. The VSM analysis showed that we shouldn't mix our mills and lathes. The machines that run the largest parts are located closest to the saw to eliminate large equipment moving large/heavy parts across the shop.
@@PiersonWorkholding yeah it’s a game changer. I spent months analysing the process work flow of each component, and drew everything on CAD and then figured out how to get everything to flow in smooth unidirectional paths. Eventually we completely rearranged the entire shop, put in one new machine, pulled out 4 old ones, and nearly doubled our throughput. If you build your bank’s property in the right locations, and implement a pull system, productivity skyrockets, and nobody actually has to work any harder, in fact, the opposite.
Another great informative video. I’ve been learning and enjoying your shop move video series. I’ve being subscribed for a few years now and I like seeing how you implement lean manufacturing.
Love the kaizen corners! We recently had an issue with our hydrovane, as the screw compressor goes to a wet tank then our dryer, this was actually causing xorrosion issues. Our service engineer measured 0.4mm corrosion in the bottom of our tank. 0.5mm is allowable and its only 18 months old! Great cells too btw. Wpuld love to see you share some of your own staffs improvementns with their own narration of a before and after. Norm O'hara is excellent at this if you need an example
We ship daily to Europe @BalticBlades! You can get rates to where you are in Europe at checkout. Is there a particular product you've been looking at? They're all there! store.piersonworkholding.com/
Excellent store! I'm currently in the market to purchase an MX, but I've also been considering the SMX. I'm curious about the challenges you've encountered with the MX and what led you to not choose the SMX.
Wooow. Nice factory!!! Congratulations!!! That happens to me too… once you see and reduce waste or eliminate it become natural. 90% of what we do is waste, and can be improved.
Good Morning Jay. Awesome shop, layout as expected. I was very interested to know what you came up with on machine spacing. Both minimum distance from the wall or the back side and spacing between the machines or left to right. I am working on a new shop as well but am doing just about everything by myself. My shop hopefully will be finished by October. Your electrical is really nice and I love your new air piping system. I really appreciate Your attention to detail. Thank You for the video
@@PiersonWorkholding Thank You Jay. I appreciate the information. I have been painstakingly trying to figure out what clearances to go with. This helps Me a lot.
I like the wood connecting parts, but it feels like the classic example of if someone only has a hammer, he’ll see everything as a nail You could just made it from sheet metal in the fraction of the time and cost
Dunking for corrosion control? What product do you use, I moved to East Tennessee and parts rust before you can get them out of the machine😅. Great content Jay!
Hi, do you reside in California? Is the heat really an issue? Do you have AC inside the facility and what is it's rated power to maintain the acceptable temperature? Thanks
oh boy, you better rotate those air connections to point to the roof. now any excess moisture from simple temperature differences will end up in your machine instead of stay in the main line,.
Is 208 really more modern than 240? I thought 208 was the original version (turning 120 only buildings into 208 three phase). Don't you need to have special parts on the machines to handle 208?
In a new or growing facility, 208 is easier to work with when you want to add 120v outlets because you can wire any of the 3 legs to neutral. With 240 3-phase, you can only wire 2 of the 3 wires to neutral or you'll get a stinger leg of 208v to an outlet. This also causes an unequal distribution of power on 2 of the 3 wires.

That's amazing! I'm sure a lot of shops overlook the waste of motion.

I m repeating again and again: we need more videos! I love them
Very good video MR pierson..Thanks for your time

Great info on the compressor setup, thanks!
Good tip about the flow rate through the air dryer.
I’ve been meaning to hook a dry tank up for a while, this is a good inspiration

We went with 24" walkway between machines (including chip barrels) and 40" minimum at the backs for door clearance.

Gotta work with the tools you got!
Love the part about airflow/compressor
Thanks for the great content!
Great! I was hesitant to include the thrilling subject of compressed air.
Great video. Really liked this one
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey, wondering if you have planned redundant compressor, and redundant bypass PRV manifold set up. For compressed air…😀
Since filming, we have 2 compressors. Mainly for day/lights-out purposes, but they serve the same purpose of redundancy.
What lighting type and color temperature do you have for your shop 3000k? Your shop looks great in videos.
Lithonia CSS L96 lights with selectable temps. We set them at 5k.
Dunking for corrosion control? What product do you use, I moved to East Tennessee and parts rust before you can get them out of the machine😅. Great content Jay!
Lol. Our corrosion control procedures displace any water from the coolant and then add a thin layer to protect them on the shelf.
Love your videos.
👍👍👍
You have not provided the body Earthing to your machines ??
You got a horizontal? Thanks for sharing. Charles
Yes sir: th-cam.com/video/CmHKfSubsak/w-d-xo.html
Don't know if you did but that vertical air tank should be bolted to the floor since you live in California where earthquakes are a real thing.
Definitely bolted down! Big anchors too.
Hi, do you reside in California? Is the heat really an issue? Do you have AC inside the facility and what is it's rated power to maintain the acceptable temperature? Thanks
Yes, we're in CA and run AC about 3-4 months. We are installing three 10 ton units that use 480v 3-phase power for best efficiency.
oh boy, you better rotate those air connections to point to the roof. now any excess moisture from simple temperature differences will end up in your machine instead of stay in the main line,.
Did you catch that our air runs through a dryer first? Our air lines are bone dry!
Hey waiting for a pro pallet for a 5 axis machine .
Coming VERY soon!
I'm starting a machine shop in Ghana Africa and I need investors. How do I go about it?
How much do machines weigh, looks like you have capital to make them semi mobile
On average, 6k to 20k lbs. Moving them isn't ideal because they have to be hard wired and leveled if you move them.
Is 208 really more modern than 240? I thought 208 was the original version (turning 120 only buildings into 208 three phase). Don't you need to have special parts on the machines to handle 208?
208 referring to 3-phase motors vs. 240 single phase that's common in smaller, older, entry level machinery.
@@PiersonWorkholding Ah OK. Any reason you chose not to go with 240 3-phase?
In a new or growing facility, 208 is easier to work with when you want to add 120v outlets because you can wire any of the 3 legs to neutral. With 240 3-phase, you can only wire 2 of the 3 wires to neutral or you'll get a stinger leg of 208v to an outlet. This also causes an unequal distribution of power on 2 of the 3 wires.
@@PiersonWorkholding interesting. Thanks for the info!
2:38 you can do floor plans in fusion?
Yes. Lots of machine builders have solid models of their machines that you can import.
