Home Machine Shop Blast Gates

[@skunkjobb]

That was extremely professionally built.

[@TexDrinkwater]

This is the most over-enginerded solution possible. I love it.

[@InheritanceMachining]

This is a fine example of some thoughtful electromechanics. Good stuff, man! I have to wonder if a fully PLC controlled shop is in your future 😁

[@monochromworkshop]

Thanks! These electronic components are so cheap and convenient these days. My homemade compressor even has a built-in web server for no reason at all.

[@InheritanceMachining]

@@monochromworkshop 😂 I'm actually surprised by that... what little experience I have with industrial PLCs (Siemens and AB), is that they are priced a bit out of the hobbyist realm. Are you using an older model line? Or something that is marketed toward shop tinkerers?

[@JoshuaDHay]

@@monochromworkshop I’m also curious about where you get your various automation parts. I’m specifically interested in where you find all your electrical components… thanks!

[@LordOfTamarac]

Absolutely gorgeous, looks better than blast gates have any right looking

[@JoshuaDHay]

Would love to see a shop tour in the future!

Truly incredible work and very well designed - scratches my ocd itch so nice. Beautifully done.

[@benjaminmunst8890]

this is amazing - quality at it's finest. can you build a spacecraft in the next video?

[@monochromworkshop]

Thanks. Spacecrafts are tricky. What about a 5-DOF camera motion control robot?

[@ArniSPeturs]

@@monochromworkshop acceptable middle step until the spacecraft :)

[@sheep1ewe]

Thank You for uploading those videos, Your videos has been a really great inspiration to me!

[@homemadetools]

Good work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

[@derkarhu5079]

Truly, this shows differences ...being from an electeonic background, i'd probably use5 - a solenoid with a lever to open the gate when the grinder is powered on, - a small synchronous motor with a 'string' on a pulley (this kind of motor can be 'stalled' forever without problems), again, powered whenever the grinder is powered with a spring return. - a small linear drive, either stepper motor or small dc motor, powered in one direction when the grinder is powered, powered the other way when it's off...a couple of relays and microswitches, in 'the old days', maybe a 'blue pill' mi rocontroller today ;-)

Perfection and beauty, a combination celebrated here. Continue with this type of videos. Thanks

[@sampletaster5093]

Fancy but was that overkill

[@Cyruscosmo]

And I thought I liked things neat... I look forward to more of your inspiration... subscribed 157

[@monochromworkshop]

I feel honored, thanks! Nice lathe you got there.

[@RaminCreate]

@@monochromworkshop Thank you , cant wait to see more of your work❤

[@theraven2822]

Nice work..your attention to detail is admirable.

[@misi6108]

that is fantastic. i look forward to more. thank you

[@MisFakapek]

Really good one, keep the videos coming in! Really good quality - keep it up and it will be 100K subs in a year.

[@monochromworkshop]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm on a steep learning path with that channel. So every feedback is always much appreciated.

[@MisFakapek]

@@monochromworkshop it would be awesome if you could set a repeatable cycle of videos like one every one or two weeks. KZbin algo is often removing channels from my home page just because it didn't see myself interested in someones content.

[@AnEmptyspacefullofstuff]

Ich finde deine Videos echt super mach bitte weiter so 👍👍👍

[@davekellogg6819]

Please explain more about the shop vac you use. Air volume? Inches of vacuum? Thanks!!

[@monochromworkshop]

It's a Nilfisk IVB 961-0L that I bought used in a bad condition. I had to fully disassemble it to clean it and replace one of the two turbines. Very happy with it now. Specs are 120 l/s and 23 kPa of vacuum.

[@Todestelzer]

Hmm I would probably used a Arduino and a electric magnet holding a off center valve inside the tube in place. If I want to pass air in one I would magnetized the other to keep them closed. The not magnetized valve would pass the air. If the air is cut off the valve would swing back itself. You also could use cheap 3d printer servo motors to move your valves too. 1 stepper driver and motor cost just around 20€. The pneumatic valves and electronic used here would be way to expensive for me. 😂

Please take your gloves off around rotating equipment. That’s an easy way to lose a finger
