CNC Machining of a Motor Block

[eicerrus]

Dear Santa...

[Chrisco247]

i always wonder what these parts are for

[JTMarlin8]

This is an amazing concept. Build a kiosk right into the machine so your operators can watch porn videos while cycles are running. He'll be begging to come to work!!!!

[ardygoin]

i would feel real bad if i scrapped one of those! The mazak controls are the shit to work on cuz they're so user friendly. Unless of course if your shop is too cheap to put a chip conveyor on it and you gotta dig it out all the time cuz the guy on first shift is too damn lazy to do it! that bastard!

[RCPhilN]

this is freaking awsome...

[mightyOmouse]

im afraid of tomorow now ;)

[GigaMinion]

serious question, but do you just buy one of these machines? (if so how much do they cost?) or do you just rent them out for some time (if so, around what price ball park does that fall in?)

[Front2422]

@GigaMinion They are usually around 100k-up to 500k even some 2 million dollar machines. The company I work for bought one. However the machines make it look easier than it is. You have to understand the approach your going to take to machine it, machine clearance to tool holders, speed and feedrates of cutting tools,proper depth of cut for the material you are cutting, tolerance of dimension you are cutting, and many other factors that all tie together.

[GigaMinion]

@Front2422

why thank you. This information is very useful to me... Can you also speak of the results of overlooking these complications?

[2jzgtejza80]

@Front2422

Thermal Analysis machine for metal, composite, ceramic alloys what I using on university cost 240,000 euros, and it's big as microwave but have some serious equipment. This CNC machine cost alone at least 2 million € or even more, without tools, and without software.

[1hyllek]

killer!

[Baderluck]

must be funny tu debur that thing:) 2 days

[breeannaqktjbl]

Unlimited energy sources are out there!But the coverup is very strong,Find a motor that needs no fuel or input at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Be the revolution!

[SmoootHman]

RHYTHM, RHYTHM IS A DANCER.

[blitzkrieg810]

cant wait for terminators :)

[imaginacion2009]

Are they making terminators??

[TheMuslim100]

Motor blocks are supposed to be made by casting, to reduce cost and eliminate internal stresses that are induced by machining. This is only an educational video, but it real application, the block must be made by casting process.

I loved that 6 axis machine, this video is just awesome :)

[RayFinkle88]

Alloy , Pfffffff. Lets see it machine some 316 stainless steel that quick.

[bobbysam232]

Drools*

[MOREENGINEERING]

Somebody mentioned "why would you machine an engine block out of billet instead of cast it?"The F1 teams (for example) make all their parts out of billet.I can't imagine them having any castings in their race cars. Makino and Yasda rule.

Also Mazak were the first japanese company to build a plant outside Japan. they built it in Kentucky.

[rockytop1605]

DAMN I LOVE MAZAK

[bobbyjc1]

I dont understand why you would machine a block instead of cast it? Wouldnt it be cheaper to cast it and finish it with machining?  or are you just showing the capabilities of this CNC?

[Duckyistrippin]

@bobbyjc1 not if you are only making one or a couple. casting has a HUGE tooling cost. if you dont plan to make thousands upon thousands casting would cost way more.

[david95534224]

@bobbyjc1

So far no one has directly replied your question, and i will take the challenge.

Casting results in product of less accuracy and precision. This is inevitable due to the uncontrollable cooling process and uneven pressurizing, Also, cracks and bubbles can not be completely eliminate, and you can probably imagine that cracks and bubbles are main reasons for fatigue and failure of metal,

and will drastically reduce the engine's strength.

[jikkyo]

what tools is it useing?

[shoyur]

im amazed

[parabpbpbp]

how much would a machine like this one cost

[11039078]

@parabpbpbp Similar to a sports car i would imagine!! Certainly not a cheap piece of kit, but kind of thing you could make from it are endless.

[GT500NSX]

@11039078

If by sports car you mean Zonda, Enzo, Veyron, etc. then yes, that's about right. :)

[anbrin]

Whats the best CNC machines out there? Mazak or mori seiki?

[jonnis240]

Buy a mori seiki NT! a much better machine

[boomersoonerks]

Oh and it's Makino all the way!!!!

[boomersoonerks]

Makes ya feel proud to be a machinist huh boys? lol

[KDMmachine]

It look's great! :) 5 star!!

[kuei1248]

I like mazak lathes, but the controls on the mills are complete shit. Gimme a haas or fanuc for milling.

[hepburda86]

helal

[BurningUp99]

How do these machines know what to do is the whole design programmed on computer first then the machine translates the instructions?

[YoungJim409]

The short version:

1. The engineer creates a model of a part.

2. A CAM application takes the part and figures out the path for the tool to follow to cut away the excess material.

3. The controller for the machine figures out how to move the spindle etc. around to make the tool follow that path.

4. Chips everywhere!

[Duckyistrippin]

@BurningUp99 yes, everything is drawn out using a CAD program. Then those drawings are turned into cut paths for the tooling. the machine is stupid, it will only do exactly what it is told.

[gsxrben84]

Good machines Mazaks, shame about the control, though i would say that working for Fanuc ha ha.

P.S - Never buy American machines, they're crap. Example HAAS. Say no more.

[monkeyboydai]

@gsxrben84 I work a HAAS and I gotta say that I agree with you. It's a heap of shit compared to most. But the place I work for are tight and wont spend the cash. I prefer Fanuc too. I just find it easy to get on with.

[kuei1248]

@gsxrben84

I disagree. Haas has a great control

[Metalkoi]

My god a yank saying that their equipment is better & faster,well i never......

[oasiac]

Where can one buy a block of material ready for machining.

[rimanophin]

Where do you get russian you dolt? Read closely or have your mom read it to you, MAZAK started in Kentuckey (Part of the United States if you were unsure) and Still manufactures machines in kentucky, get your head out of your ass numb nuts

[GT500NSX]

@rimanophin

Surely you don't think Mazak started in Kentuckey?

[jeetendrag10]

engineering poetry.........

[rimanophin]

Couple of problems, A- Yamazaki Mazak is out of japan B- Mazak was american and still makes machines in florence, kentucky C-Mazaks are some of the best machines money can buy

[jason4130]

weapon of mass production!

[richfilmswales]

how much could you charge for that part?

[nitsanm1]

MAZEK

[bigdog0800]

whats not good about it. The cnc is awsome two sides of a process without having to switch the part manually I like it.

[kallemtrash]

Anybody guess the CAM program?

[MNX58]

Machines will take over the world!!

[dunz1985]

cool...

[floydless]

AWSOME.... I LOVE IT!!!

[Axel2989]

he got a cap, lol

[ALTEZZAKAR]

я что то неувидел каналов для водянного охлаждения

[Kharmak]

How come I don't see any sparking? Curious how to avoid that.

[hirven1500]

have a aluminium workpiece

[mephil8800]

water cooling & cutting blade design

[dtiydr]

that couldnt be cheap

[Tehm4nm4n]

I guess they make prototypes with the cnc machine and then make something a bit more cheap...

[zbylutek]

what the hell do you need a webcam for?

unless it has skype on it

[rockytop1605]

operator alone must make big money. U gotta be on ur game for that set up. Impressive productivity

[jrluz14]

impressive machine

[brenck]

I imaggine if you have to cuttoff a piece this big...

[mrgofast27]

I run this same machine at work, just with only 1 spindle and a tailstock. Im sure this is a EIA program. Esprit Cam is a very good software, and that is what we use where I work.

[thurkettle77]

my boss would get the grinder and cut that little stool off on the first day i bet

[thebjgj2]

yours boss sounds like a jack ass

[suomik1988]

hahahaha. no shit. so would mine! hilarious.

[ydna2]

Sweet....we use a Nakamura equivalent of this for one of our parts, but it's much smaller. This is a huge workpeice for sure...

[crewdogg15]

Amazing. Imagine of the bit just shifted a centimeter in the wrong direction!

[YoungJim409]

Plug "cnc crash" into the search box, you won't need to imagine!

[cakmak3306]

way a.q bune laaa

[VWPassI20]

nice

[Vespahipcat]

Is that a Mazatrol program? If so do you sub to EIA?

If not what software?

[jonnis240]

@Vespahipcat

no way that can be a mazatrol program!

[three1415]

Very pretty! Some of the operations sound almost lyrical!

[MBVENDETTA]

nice machine...:D

[Kosekans]

I'm repairing the servo motors of that kind of machines. This is so cool to see them in action. I could watch that all day ... :))

[suomik1988]

I could watch it all day too. until it was time to clock out :)

[dave7955]

This machine is great.I run one of these. Ours has a 3 metre bed. With a steady and tailstock. We can get 600mm dia in the chuck< and a 120 tool magazine

[AAU94]

waw! how mucht that thing price?

[tri400]

Did the metal shavings get recycled or wasted?

[gredangeo]

They're always recycled. You don't get the value per pound you paid for, but it's better than zero. Usually the customer supplies the material so it ends up being profit!

[suomik1988]

at this time in the economy they aren't worth ass

[jrluz14]

ya i recently spoke with our mazak rep and he said things arent going too well for them

[DayleScott]

ya...i can't imagine the headache it would be to program for that part, this cnc is alot more advanced than the one i run...this thing is like a cnc and a bridgebort combined!

pretty cool if you ask me

[Jigglifier]

weeeeee i run one of these :D 160 tool magazine and a tailstock. no 2nd chuck.

[kathump2]

Ehh, What do you want for $1 million +

[Chad2Base]

Absolutely amazing! I can't even start to think about the amount of time it took to program it so it does every single move, drill, turn, etc. It took me and my dad a good 20 minutes just to program out CNC to drill 8 holes.

[JTMarlin8]

Good verification software like Vericut or Predator could knock many hours off that part. Can you imagine having to single block a program like that?

The actual toolpathing probably didn't take as long as you might think. With a part of such high complexity, the original CAD file had to have been sent directly from the engineers to the CAD/CAM dept. Much faster than reading a print and creating lots of new geometry.

[maschinenbaucnc]

seet vid...

[nicklking]

I love mazak...i really want one in every room of my home
