2 Ton Hydra-Pneumatic Forging Hammer

[mcpheonixx]

Question, when a piece of metal is formed like that, does the forging process keep the piece in question hot through friction or does the metal stay hot like that by itself ?

I know in some cases as metal if forged, the friction actually keeps the piece heated, not by much but it is a factor sometimes. I was wondering if this is the case in this instance ?

[bloodaid]

looks fucking animated when that hammer pounds the shit out of that piece of glowing shit

[barbarotico]

Does that smash heads?

[skunky1991]

wonder how far down THAT anvil goes @_@

[MrMadmardin]

I wonder if the workers at this factory use this machine to take care of some "business"

You know, like lay someone out on that who hasn't paid their gambling debts...

[stevenr1986]

if you feel forward while holding the metal you would have a hospital tripe in your future i recon.....

One of those is going on my christmas list!

How many hits would it take to make Justin Beiber's head about an inch across?

[kablowyful]

Kinda just looked like a marshmellow at 1st

Beautiful image at 2:25+, some powerful machine and could watch skill workers all day! Thanks for posting. RL Atlanta, Georgia USA

[madjimms]

Put a watermelon in it!

[YTBYlover]

Almost looks animated its crazy.

[kittukumars]

nice people..nice work.well done..

[Filterdissman]

OH! LOOK AT THE PRETTY GLOWY THING *reaches out* 

[Thetruthishere11]

the hell are you boys making?

[hanzithaking]

LoL at 2:44 the block of steel or iron looc´ks like its fake computer made graphic :P

[rushofspeed]

risky business huh

[neogovernment]

I get just as much fun out of my Blacker!

Though, I would like to have a go on this one!

[CompleteForge]

Yep forgetech is in the uk, yorkshire, they normally stock reconditioned old massey 4cwts as well as these huge beasts. Alternative company would be b.s.massey manchester.

[phylor5333]

What r they making??

[danz409]

BFH! (big f**king hammer!)

[steams50187]

this is exactly what i used to do.....hot as hell but sometimes fun

[codydean10]

looks like a giant cheese wheel

[donkeymorris]

It's definately in the UK, the fork lift driver was driving on the left side....

[kalevraa]

an impressive hammer, to be sure. but yet again, the damn flat dies. the hammers may be 95% efficient, but the dies sure aren't. i know most folk use these, yet what a pain in the doopah they are, too.

[cappydawg]

i want the big ass motors :(

[ffsallnamestaken]

In a electric car x)

[bgu205]

such a pretty machine!

[Grandvitara99]

strange!! the workers use no goggles to preotect their eyes from the intense heat..really bad health care..if this factory here in Norway, 100% the manager will lost his job.

[realjoefriday]

Totally agree -- I'm in the US and I have never been in a factory like this that would allow employees to do this kind of work without hard hats, eye and ear protection and steel-toe boots.

And I have done some design work for the UK (which is where I think this is) and this violates everything I've ben exposed to for their regulations over there.

I have to say -- it's very strange.

[336Torana]

I don't get what ur talking about - they all have hearing protection - can't really see their boots in the video, and I can see the 2 older guys who are standing back when the hammer is operating aren't wearing safety glasses but the guy in the white shirt is.??

[hfdpayner]

@realjoefriday if they get there head stuck in that hammer, the hard hat wont help very much will it?

[rawheas]

@hfdpayner If you manage to get your head stuck under a forging hammer like this thats not even a safety concern its just natural selection.

[hfdpayner]

@rawheas lmao true

[frackcha]

@rawheas and possibly a mention on the darwin awards... :D

[KFCHambone]

id love to see them put a pig head in there.

[jefflee1710]

oops....this insane... but i love it XDDD

[43932]

have you ever heard about security ?

[Invalidstyrkan]

3:27 Mmmmmmm.... Nice. =)

[TheGreatGambinie]

what on earth is this used for? it's so big

[graffitiballz]

please give me one of those

The Massey clear space has its own in built air compressor and is therefore a very energy efficient hammer. This system is fine for sizes up to 2 ton and a stroke of 38" (965mm). This limits the blow energy to 6400 MKg.

The Hydrapneumatic hammer removes the need for an external air supply that is needed on the large hammers.

You can also turn the hammer off when not in use for short periods, this is not possible with compressed air as you would have to wait for the air to build up again.

[forgetechservices]

The Nitrogen is recompressed every stroke as the hammer lifts, when the oil quickrelease valve is opened the compressed nitrogen accelerates the hammer down giving the blow

[gunvidder]

Bit like the Massey clearspace hammer.

[marcheseDS]

Nice tool, is it recompressing the nitrogen after every blow to achieve that efficiency?

[pfmerc10]

thats my dad at work
