Not exactly a small press, holy crap :P

[itstimmyo]

they have 2 valve stems because there is an inner liner, like a tire within a tire, so the outer one blows the inner one will keep the rim off the ground so the car can get back to the pits

@SpeedFreakNO wonder what tonnage their hitting at, looks like a thick gauge

@aluisious

the properties of aluminum make it a poor material for racing wheel. it doesnt give much and is brittle. the wheel would fail right at the lug nuts. if an aluminum wheel failed at 195mph it would simply explode sending pieces flying thru the fender without any warning the driver would be sent sent straight to the wall if on the right

@SpeedFreakNO have you never been to a medal working factory? :D when I got to work at one during summer vacation their presses were 4 times bigger pressing whole care frames ;)

@mattcossel29 I'd have thought that NASCAR etc would race on aluminum, same as motorcycle racing (I'm more familiar with that).

[mattcossel29]

@aluisious Well.. Lets see.. We can start with NASCAR and all of its sub racing classes, NHRA, IMCA, WoO... Every dirt track across America on a Saturday night has steel racing wheels on it. In fact this particular brand of wheel is used in all of the applications I listed.

Who the hell races on steel wheels?

Amazing! :O

[gerardrafael]

does anyone know where I can find specifications to all the machines featured in this video? Thanks in advance

@SpeedFreakNO There are even bigger ones its crazy. up to 100 000 tons of pressure

@cvl85 You are enlightened! Imagine building cars? You can thank industrial engineers for this process-oriented stuff (the steps required to build something). But thank of course the other engineers for design and the product itself. In short, even moreso than the design, it is these processes that influence quality. A little research into auto manufactering - Japanese in particular - may be a valuable, eye openening thing!
