The Brilliance of Erosion Machining at WALTER | Germany

[@JoeTaber]

Harry's mustache is so epic it's giving the copper tungsten erosion machine a run for its money.

[@bobbywright3479]

This is really amazing technology. A 104 year old company that is innovative like this is inspiring. Thanks Titan.

[@brizv]

Also their quotes are almost double than Sandvik !

[@trevorgoforth8963]

Erosion combined with grinding?? Crazy tech right there! Combining the two most accurate machining processes is genius! The tungsten in those wheels will give them increased wear resistance over pure copper. Cool stuff, thanks for sharing manufacturing on a world wide level boss!

[@paradiselost9946]

man, its old tech, ive got trade books from the 60s describing it, and i think theres a mention of it in a pre WWII grinding handbook...

[@JohnSmith-pn2vl]

@@paradiselost9946 nobody said it was new bruh

[@WALTEREWAG]

Our tool eroding machines can erode tools made of PCD and CBN and grind tools made of carbide and high speed steel, all in one alternating stream. Our 2-in-1 machine concept has already more than 20 years of existence.

[@CameronMcCreary]

That is the most amazing machining of parts and tools that l have yet seen. I was a CNC / EDM / ECM machinist in life before retiring and I am always impressed by the German ethics of manufacturing. Ever since I first met some of the German machinists from "Operation Paperclip" l knew that l was hooked on precision machining. The German machinists from the 1960s and 1970s era could do amazing things with screw machines and custom milling machines that still amazes me.

[@tdg911]

Yet another top notch tour. Go big or go home right? Insane technology on a whole new level. Where does it stop I ask myself... Brilliant minds, machinists and software engineers. Thanks for bringing this content to us. Much love and gratitude.

[@Chriss120]

this truly shows the power of the modern industry. cross continent companies that use the knowledge and education of any country.

[@-aepo-]

mind blowing! The Germans are a class of their own!

[@travisjarrett2355]

How cool is all that technology! I had never even heard the term erosion machining before. Coolest industry on the face of the planet.

[@Desertprophet83]

Wow thats incredible all the machines self running. Unbelievable how they made them.

[@christophervillalpando1815]

That's an awesome tour! The 3d scanner and erosion machine are top-notch!

[@notrackx]

Yeah, finally at Walter facility. Great to see that, I'm from Tuebingen too :)

[@markdavis304]

Crazy technology. Great Walter tour! Loved seeing all the different machines🤯

[@barrysetzer]

Great video, I love these behind the scenes tours. Beautiful facility!

[@barrysetzer]

And LOL we need a few of those scanners. Where did they get the Titan scan?

[@Sara-TOC]

@@barrysetzerHAHAHA I knew you’d be the first one to mention the 3D option!!! The possibilities are endless 😆

[@TITANSofCNC]

Yo Braddah🤙 They had an outside firm make it.

[@richardnavratil9661]

Thanks for visiting Walter! Great video.

[@stevieg2755]

I did part of my apprenticeship at Everite machine products Philadelphia,they pretty much invented the ECM technology.Whats funny is one of the owners came from Germany,he was sn awesome guy ,the kind of guy that took time to explain every designation on a tap,very old school but a genius and craftsman

[@garbo8962]

Funny you are also from Philly. Back in the 1980's I did electrical work for some machine & tool and die shops that had several EDM & wire machines. At one shop they ran wire machines 24/7. Foreman would cone in early Sunday morning to install new parts to be run.

[@russellofcnc]

Truly mind-blowing technology!

[@christophersampey9341]

Erosion, that's awesome, ya learn something new every day.

[@ericsandberg3167]

I always wonder just how far they can push the technology of grinding, and the tolerances of the bearings in these machines must be insane.

[@Jessie_Smith]

Really cool stuff! One day I hope someone will make a statue of me, but I will settle for a bobble head 😂

[@shaniegust1225]

Great tour! Incredible technology

[@mazlumyildirim2078]

Iam living in Baden-Württemberg i didn't know that we have such Great companies.

Great tour! The Walter Headquarters is stacked with incredible technology. I can’t wait for the unveiling of their newest addition! Don’t even get me started with the 3D option.. too fun!!! 😂😁

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

The Titan mini-me is incredible.

[@NeedaNewAlias]

Welcome to Germany!

[@davecox8922]

So Good! love this one!

[@nicolespittler9530]

That’s amazing technology! Very cool video

[@yoyobah1862]

I can see AR glasses would be valuable on the shop floor, being able to look at a machine and see it's current job queue, any issues and a live stream of the tool head.

[@WALTEREWAG]

We don't have AR glasses in use yet, but with our Digital Solutions system, you can monitor all the machines linked to it :)

[@henrryhernandez3418]

When I hear "art and science museum", this is what I imagine it should look like.

[@TheSoftTaco631]

My first machine was a walter hmc. things a beast

[@camman945]

I LOVE Walter tools. Their tiger inserts are the bomb

[@Hi_Tec]

Walter tools and Walter machines only have two things in common. Being placed in Germany and being called Walter. Different companies, different ownership.

[@WALTEREWAG]

Walter Machines is a different company than Walter Tools, we are only based in the same town in Germany - we build the machines, the others produce tools. ;-)

[@5Komma5]

Let me know when you are in the area again so I can invite you to a really good German Brauhaus. Good job with the "ü" 👍👍

Thanks, we'll be happy to share this compliment with him ;-)

[@locusf2]

So what is waterjet cutting if not erosion?

[@TITANSofCNC]

Well, in erosion… electricity is cutting the material… and in waterjet… pieces of sand are being pounded into the material at 90,000PSI to cut the material. Definitely different… Erosion is way more precise.

[@cda32]

The cutting in waterjet is done by garnet so technically that's abrasion which is a subset of erosion. This is arc erosion.

[@merouanebenderradji1582]

it is erosion, I think the term applies to both technologies here.

[@sanjayk.2085]

Hi, I am vmc operator in India. I would like to work with you . is it possible ?

[@darrellhart9363]

Compared to when I was machining this is light years ahead. Ok you now have a figure of titan when can we expect a bobble head to come out. LOL

[@ardennielsen3761]

because the rods in the old XJ650 were broken and there was no where to get new ones... bigger machines... as things are made, more of that tungsten finds it's way into the base stock of normal material. casting pool in 1993 said 128'000psi tensile, why does a E7018 welding rod hold 170'000psi... but the E7018 rod from a few miles east lets go at 65'000psi? weird... happy i got new axles for the car but the box said made in China in one spot... there is 220'000 on one axle and 68'000 laser etched into the other one 23lb each, Q.C. of 3500 tons of separation anxiety? one to won... 🤔, one does and the other will too. nearly 10'000 ford 8.8 CV axles? because there are only 5000 of those cars still in use? all kitchens have soy sauce in them to.

[@tylerpeterson604]

Heltronic is good but has many operator errors if you dont clean tool very good it picks up on small specs of dirt and delivers bad readings. which is easy to do

[@mazlumyildirim2078]

Next company is Trumpf.

[@TITANSofCNC]

Thanks

[@paradiselost9946]

well, this is slightly more sophisticated than setting up an electrode with some string, pulleys, and weights, or running a diamond wheel in a toolpost with mildly caustic "coolant". (clean EVERYTHING afterwards...) you only need a small HV supply to get the arc. in many ways, its closest to whats in a plasma ball, little nibble, little nibble... (what? you havent dropped a sheet of foil over plasma ball and cut holes in it with the arc? what are you doing with your life?) done this many times in a shitty backyard shop. just because one can. what scares me is that it seems to be new information for so many commentors. if you dont want to expand your knowledge base, havent done so already... then why watch these videos? keep pushing buttons. this process is mentioned in nearly every trade book i have from the 60s onwards. at least, the ones dealing with tolerances, grinding, etc. yknow, when PLANERS and SHAPERS were still shop mainstays? open a book, educate yourself, give things a go. just because its old, yellow, maybe a bit mouldy and smelly... doesnt mean the information held within is useless. usually you find its BETTER. or can be re-applied to another situation.
