Process of Making 50 Ton Power Press Flywheel | Amazing Metal Recycling Process

[@ianlane7026]

You look at these videos and it's like looking back almost 300 years to the dawn of the industrial revolution at Abraham Darby's ironworks in Staffordshire England, only better weather! Amazing skills on display even if H&S would be having kittens!!

[@griznatle]

I bet abrahams would clean their swarf up regularly, oil their machines, and wear shoes

[@raybame5816]

Hey, I saw a guy wearing shoes AND safety? glasses. He looked like a skilled worker. Ya gotta love the human conveyor belt.

[@MonstroLab]

@@griznatleOTOH, molten bits can get inside your shoes burn through the skin on your bare foot 🦶 😮 i have burn scars on my feet from not being able to pull my shoes off fast enough when slag got in there, haha! (cutting steel sheet piles (seawall) with oxy prop/acet torch)

Incredibly strong people working there. Lifting a 50 ton flywheel takes a lot of strength.

also those pattern makers are freaking legend. those wheel patterns are way bigger than any work i ever did.

[@AYTAZED]

That last vertical lathe is a Webster and Bennet of Coventry in the west midlands. I bet most, if not all of the lathes you see on these videos, are British made and left behind from the days of British rule in India. It lasted until 1947 so not impossible.

[@quantumleap359]

That vertical turret lathe was made back in the day when industrial machinery was made to last decades, quality equipment.

[@glynluff2595]

I think you w I’ll find many of them came from factories closed down in the. 2000’s. I saw a few go out the door. With a flywheel that big I hope th3 bearings are well oiled. Every 4 hours in U.K. and book signed by line engineer! One of those seizing and snapping crankshaft will wipe out anything and everyone in its path. By glory you checked on your shift!

[@robertnagel337]

Up until recently our big lathe had a WW2 war production tag on it. They made them well back then.

[@robertnagel337]

Add a front end loader, a lift truck and some conveyor and half of Pakistan is out of work.

[@glynluff2595]

@@robertnagel337 Yes and they were War Production Standard machines as well. That means they has minimal bearings and shafts ran direct into the castings. If you failed to oil them and they wore you would have to remove shaft plug and bore the casting or make a cheap bush pegged in and replace shaft. Lubrication was most important on these machines.

I’m glad they put flip flops on when they were working with the hot stuff. Amazing work.

[@scpvrr]

All this was familiar to me. I used to work at a custom machine shop that had a sand cast foundry. The only difference is that here the vertical turret lathe was run by one of the oldest guys in the shop.

[@jaymzx0]

Some decent surface finish on the random alloy, too. Considering the tooling and material they're working with, the guy running the lathe is pretty damn good. Spin the toolhead around, line it up, touch it off, slap down the feed lever, rinse, repeat.

When 5 guys jobs can be replaced with a conveyer belt, and it hasn’t been done, either the people in charge aren’t too bright , or the labor is cheaper then making a simple belt.

theyre getting some pretty tight tolerances on those castings, within a couple of millimetres is not easy. no doubt those millings go back into the furnace when the guy can't walk on them anymore lol
