5 Axis Milling

[HMPANCHAL12]

use hyper MILL software for this operation, u can use big dia. cutter and the lead angle will auto adjust so u can take more stepover..

[Dammes83]

Das ist eine Droop und Rein FOG upper Gantry, Super geiles Teil, weil super solide und genau !

[patslevin72]

I cant believe you are finishing that with a 12 or 16mm ballnose. Use a bigger cutter and bigger stepovers !!

[BADFISHHHHHH]

5 years later... It's done!

[biiLL4bonG]

ENDGEIL :D Die will ich für meinen Garten!!

[douro20]

What make/model of machine?

[TFMTraining]

"In 10 years this will be obsolete... "

I don't think so! More likely what you'll find is that in 10 years, every shop will have one because the technology to program them will be better and the machine cost will be lower. I've been in shops that were still running machines from the 1930's. If they run and still make accurate parts. You keep them. Besides not every part needs to be made "with the accuracy of atoms... " For most parts, close enough is good enough.

[MrTakosSuprim]

im sure that he means rapid prototype machines

and the human technological advance has hit a brick wall

there has been no significant breakthrough in anything for the past 20 yrs

all that we have seen is improvements on existing inventions

like the blue laser the polish have developed

[565Customz]

THAT is one big ass chunk of metal

[Semerus]

ehm ich meinte 5-Achsen

[Semerus]

geilo, ne 4-achsen Portalfräsmaschine

[helstontvx]

press it

[ljubljana03]

it is francis blade

[danz409]

dude it looks like its makeing a space ship! :D

[bestamerica]

what is that use for

[minitsrule]

the part or the machine

[r0cd0x]

holy shit that machine is huge

[BradPittlike]

that must of taken forever to hollow out the underside! ha ha ha

[zurinam]

Hi ToadHypno, thanks for your comment. Could you tell me more about this "building from the bottom"? I am highly interested.

Thank you!

[andyr19772]

look into 3d printing.. regards andy

[Lowfategg]

I think he means processes like 3D printing.

[565Customz]

@zurinam atomic assemblers...more than 10 years buddy.....maybe 100

[R3MUS2007]

@zurinam Hes probably referring to material science and the building of structures by crystalline layers. They build small scale objects today using that technique. But it doesnt apply to everything. Metals are still very difficult to work with in terms of building them from the bottom up. I dont think in 10 years we'll achieve metals, but maybe Ceramics.

[oddball1973]

Not sure about that - rapid prototyping machines are clever things but the time to make that component that size I can't see justifying the investment. Laser sintered components have few mechanical properties as well unlike a forging - but you never know, maybe one day...

[renjun777]

that machine is big !!

[IluvfaTCHIX]

only a square head would even attempt to machine something that big lol

[STEFYRED]

how is the manufacturer of the machine shown on this video?

[chris331982]

I think its as Droop & Rein.

We had two in the company i´d worked for.

[mascamcan1]

MC X2

[Guatefeos]

Maybe Master Cam or Sprit

[rjetta8v]

What CAM program are you using?

[samurray237]

nice - trust th germans

[JTMarlin8]

Japan owns Germany when it comes to machine tools. If someone replaced our Mori Seikis with Deckel Mahos, I'd probably shoot him.

[brandon9271]

plenty of 25 year old Mahos out there still running strong! They're big, green and ugly but they get the job done :)

[EC17MEISTER]

haha i read that as *Machos*

[evad015]

we have one at alstom in canada(qc)

[MadQuebecois]

Are you a machinist ?

[evad015]

I'm studying to be one,im in my first year and after i have a special class that is called ASP here at quebec and i'll learn about cnc machining

J'étudie pour en devenir un,je suis dans un D.E.P. à Saint-Hyacinthe Chui dans ma premiere année et j'ai un cour après 2 ans qui s'apelle Un ASP ici au quebec et on en apprend à propos du machinage par cnc

[swerveco]

Beautiful part!

[foxacoustics]

I was hoping to see a BIG part :-)

Very nice work.

[pstickel1337]

fett, wie meine nur 10 mal so groß ^^ größtes prob werden hier wohl die vibrationen sein, bestimmt schwer zu spannen sowas wenn viele verschiedene teile kommen.

[RaVeN85]

my 3 axis machining sucks compared to this lol

[enytned1]

Awesome video. Great work!

[AmericanFabricator]

this is some amazing work you got going here. Mouth watering!

[enytned1]

What are you machining? It looks amazing.

[ohiopctech]

beautiful
