Master Machinists Produce 125,000 Machines

[@jasonrye170]

Titan - you sent the right guy for this field trip. You could have told us all about this machine, but only Donnie could have read us this love letter to Swiss machining. Y'all are winning (for us)!

[@blackshadow772]

Donnie is amazing!

[@vogtm]

Was a pleasure to watch this video! I was a machinist 20 years ago in Switzerland it‘s incredible the techology has involved since then. Greetings from Switzerland to the Titans!

[@tdg911]

As a technologist by trade working with software and hardware development my mind gets blown every time I see one of these behind the scene videos. From all of the sensors to precision machining just to bring one of these machines to life is a major feat in itself. The software controlling these machines, the engineers designing the controllers, the programmers developing the software, the machinist machining the parts. Brilliant minds is all I can say. @Titans of CNC Machining once again, thank you for bringing us this behind the scene footage. Donnie, great job on the narration! Much love and gratitude

[@cogoid]

Very cool indeed! What is perhaps even more amazing is that for the most part of their history Tornos produced purely mechanical machines, without any sensors, electronics or software -- and they still got micrometer accuracy and extremely high production rates, making parts for millions of precision products.

[@kennethfharkin]

@@cogoid Titan visited one of the Swiss facilities I have worked closely with a couple of years ago. Laubscher Präzision has a museum with older cam operated machines they developed in the 19th century as well as the in house produced micrometers to measure the parts.

[@82NeXus]

I'm with you!

[@davidlawrence8085]

Yes..we as machinists.........we are standing on the shoulders of giants

[@barrysetzer]

Love seeing the hydro electric application they used to power the factory historically, and super cool that they still use it to power the cafeteria. Awesome tour!!!!

[@gogglesfpv7986]

I just upgraded my 3d printer with klipper and some other parts....I banged my head against my key board for almost a week, with help. I couldn't imagine tuning these machines. this would be a night mare and a dream com true at the same time these are some bad ass machines! glad I found this, this is amazing!

[@bobjimenez4464]

A beautiful symphony of professionalism, organization, electro-mechanical engineering and mastery of manufacturing. To obtain that level of organizational agreement must have taken many generations of goal driven, like minded people.

You my friend just described why the Swiss make watches.

[@travisjarrett2355]

Really great tour. I have always been fascinated by the immense amount of manufacturing and machining need just to put a CNC machine together. Well done.

[@sicstar]

"Right here is the slotting tool she tells you not to worry about". Thanks Donnie... coffee spilled everywhere. ^^ Thanks again guys for giving some insight in whats goin on behind the curtains. Really enjoy watching those and even tho i worked in the industry for quite some time now its sometimes mindblowing to see how stuff is made. Or as said the machine gets born. EPIC stuff! Keep em coming bois!

proud to be a swiss mechanic, i live 30km from the factory! good vid's guy!

[@wizzardofwizzards]

As a lifelong student of advanced robotics, there are those rare occasions when a "behind-the-scenes" tour leaves a lasting impression! This is one of those occasions! Amazing!

I’m your avg dick head and even I was couldn’t stop watching

[@reneecutler9719]

I've been machining for 30 years manual and CNC and I learn something new every video yall make amazing

[@82NeXus]

I know nothing about CNC machines. I watched this, and now I still know nothing about CNC machines. Except that they're really cool and the machining and manufacturing that goes into these Swiss ones is as stunning as the parts that they produce! Just amazing level of engineering and building! Man, the Swiss really know how to do this kind of stuff!

[@PRAD33PK]

Awesome video! The editing and the content are spot on. Donnie's enthusiasm perfectly captures how amazing an achievement these machines and the company that makes them are.

[@trevorgoforth8963]

Awesome tour of an awesome company, nice job Donnie and Tyler!

[@bridgereviewguy9861]

As a watchmaker was curious to have seen what the machines that produce spare parts look like. Was happy to see the balance staff at 1:47 and on the thumbnail. Very cool.

[@MattOGormanSmith]

There's some that say you're not really a watchmaker while you're buying your spare parts >:) Time to CNC the old Lorch

[@MisterDivineAdVenture]

A 143 year old culture of inventor-developers. Look how happy they are. You adapted well! Every day is an adventure-Swiss. You may wonder what comes next?

I'm not a machinist at all, but learning about this stuff is cool. I'm glad I subscribed. Because like I said, this is awesome stuff.

[@inthefade]

Same. I'm just some slub artist and musician but this stuff really gets me going.

[@skutah7524]

I work on the mold making side and we make molds for pipette tips. I have a rotary grinding department and use a 20-year-old Studer S31 and a newer Rollomatic NP50. The tolerances for the most accurate parts of the pieces are -+0.0025mm.

[@maxyusha241]

I visited Rollomatic entreprise in Bulle yesterday and now i see what id the np50 👌

[@bicicogito989]

... and... I may possibly use those pipettes that you are partially responsible. Thank you!!! But, the REAL OG of manufacturing, nanomachining in fact, is biological life itself. For example, DNA polymerase replicates DNA, at ~750 nucleotides/sec, and an error rate of ~2 per 10^8 base pairs!!! BTW, double stranded DNA is ~10nm wide. In the 23 chromosomal assemblage of humans, there are ~3.2G nucleotide base pairs per parent... in almost EVERY cell in your body. We, you and me and everyone else, are CONSTANT, 24/7, biofab machines!!! ALL life on this planet, is AMAZING!!!

amazing to watch. I mean the growth of some young guy who is oblivious to the rest of the world and what they can do, and he finally sees that other people do some really clever and interesting things and they have been doing it longer than he has. good on you Donnie. the way to show people how smart you are is by closing your mouth and opening your ears and eyes.

[@felixarbable]

So im actually a watchmaker and we still use many old tools in restoration. for example a jacot tool is a small bow driven lathe to burnish pivots that i use in restoration and its probably mid 1800s. Most of the really sought after watchmakers lathes are all manual lathes like the schaublin 70. People forget that people were making clocks in the 1200s, where they would have needed to accurately divide gears and turn pivots and watches were extremely advanced with multiple complications by 1650.

[@mw8580]

I used to work for Timson printing machines, we used to sell a lot to the US. We had a big 5 axis CNC like the one in the video, Brings back memories. We also had a cylindrical grinder that could hold 2 tons between centres, Rolls Royce had the other sister machine.

[@piratiniwood547]

Donnie 1 1/2 😂 you take us on an awesome journey, it is amazing what people can make. We know the accuracy from Japanese and Swiss machines and there are some more manufacturers who making crazy machines.... But it is not the country who makes the machines but a select group of people who have the ultimate drive for perfection in everything they do. So, I am ready for part 2 😊

Imagine the productivities of these modern machines. Crazy.

i do all the maintenance in a large machine shop in Rochester NY. We use mostly DMG, Mazak, and Haas but i would LOVE to see one of these in our shop. i dont run the machines as a job but i make stuff all the time on my free time and on breaks and what not. Its a beautiful thing having an idea in your head and having access to all the machines and tools and materials to make it a real physical tangible item. i absolutely love it. the stuff i could make on one of these things... maybe ill upgrade my home shop from a couple 3d printers, cos laser, diode laser, 300x180mm router, and a few other small hobby level machines to one of these tornos machines. haha..

[@deucedeuce1572]

I've always wondered if this was possible (and how). Like, how does the metal not bend when it's so small (and thin). The cutting edge would have to be extremely sharp for there to not be too much force/pressure to damage the part.

[@MattOGormanSmith]

The Swiss style lathe helps with this. The cutting tool works right at the spindle collet, and the work is moved in and out as required, instead of the tool moving along the work. Another strategy is to have an adjustable support opposite the tool, which could be CNC to move in automatically as the diameter reduces.
