Wiegel: High Precision Metal Stamping & Automation

[@carvalhoribeiro]

Munro's content awakens and stimulates the desire to learn more about the processes. It's the magic built by 1000 hands happening. Congratulations and thank you.

[@GOVAUS1]

quite refreshing to see that proper and modern manufacturing is not dead in US of A.

[@wiegelmfg]

Thank you for watching!

[@garymunson2493]

Mr. Wiegel, thank you so much for taking the time from your no doubt packed schedule to give us this tour! Most people have little idea of the cool stuff that American businesses develop to help them produce products. I greatly enjoy it when I get to see factories like yours. I understand that in a lot of cases there is concern about revealing trade secrets and this makes it worrisome to show what happens in the back shop but you have taken the time to give us a peek without compromising your methods. I'm blown away seeing these big machines being able to spew out those tiny yet precise parts. Anytime you get Mr. Munro to puzzle over something, you've accomplished something! Thanks again!

[@journeyman291]

Ya, the Chinese are watching carefully. It's easier to cheat and steal.

[@wiegelmfg]

So glad you enjoyed the video! We appreciate your kind words & positivity. Thank you for watching! :)

This is really what America stands for. They have something in mind and just do it! TOP innovation. 🤟

[@thomaswilliams6155]

Im halfway through and cant wait for the guy to finaly tell us what those parts are for,, or why this process is new compared to old ways of welding. Marrying them for this, that or somethin, assemble it (something) geez bro. Now that im done watching i am flabergasted by the science. This guy is incredible. Pooof, that was my mind overloading. Thanks for a unique look at this

[@TheoneandonlyRAH]

I'm loving his often sandy is just speechless

[@andykross7242]

Wiegel is well known for their stamping, especially their Minster press area.

[@JigilJigil]

Amazing video, this is how manufacturing should be.

[@wiegelmfg]

Thank you very much! We are happy you enjoyed the video.

Welcome!

[@arnecarlsson9740]

Amazing! There is hope for the advancement of American Manufacturing! Thanks to Mr. Wiegel and the Wiegel employees! 👏👏👏

[@cengeb]

He said his new factory is going to be in mexico

[@arnecarlsson9740]

@@cengeb Mexico is a country in North America and a partner in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) . Even if Wiegel start a manufacturing facility in Mexico it is still an American Manufacturing company. Since Ford, GM and other OEM produces cars in Mexico it makes sense to Wiegel to as a tier 2 supplier to manufacture in Mexico! 😂😂😂

[@cengeb]

@@arnecarlsson9740Then people shouldn't complain when Chinese EV makers open factories in Mexico, to get access to North American market. And all Sandi the grouch complains about is Mexico Mexico blah blah blah. too bad they make and export more vehicles than we do. The largest car factory in north America is VW Puebla Mexico...not in the u.s. cus the u.s has UAW...the death call to all car factories

[@arnecarlsson9740]

@@cengeb Sandy Munro says Tesla's Mexico factory is a 'genius move' for building a $25,000 car

[@cengeb]

@@arnecarlsson9740 All Sandi M. does is blow smoke for his buddy. Mexico exports more cars than the U.S. the Tesla mexico factory is not gonna be running for quite some time. VW has been in Puebla Mexico since the 1960s. Biggest car factory in north america...it keeps getting updated and has expanded. According to Sandi, everyone he meets is a genius, he is easily impressed by basically nothing. Ever wonder why he didn't progress at Ford, if he knows so much, why was he a failed employee at Ford..maybe his bad attitude, know it all stank. when all he wants is stuff made cheaper, not better. More plastic snaps is hardly a good idea

[@journeyman291]

This is what "Make America Great Again" really means. Not some empty political rhetoric

[@colemantanner9360]

Yes, make incentives for manufacturing in America. Make incentives for R&D in America.

[@jessstrap2088]

On the one hand I want to ask to keep politics away from our science/tech/manufacturing channels. This is where I come to get away from that shtuff. On the other hand my nerd/pedant side is screaming something along the lines of 'MAGA isn't empty, it's reactionary-ness (ouch. Save me from English.) with a cheap coat of paint!'. On the third hand (elbow?) I agree. This is one of the ways America is/can be great.

[@gmv0553]

America has always been great!!! But our democracy is under attack! I pray to God it survives!

[@mauraece]

How is this “American”??? Every machine in that place was Japanese or European.

[@Alhussainba]

Fascinating. Thanks for the insight on manufacturing.

AWESOME!, thanks 4 video!

[@MunroLive]

You bet!

[@lubbas72]

They seem to be a very competent subsupplier. Currently, vertical integration looks to be the trend today in the auto industry. Despite their excellent production knowledge, how will they compete in the future?

[@gregeconomeier1476]

That was interesting ! ! ! !

You are WELCOME 🤗👍

[@thomaswilliams6155]

Good music too!

[@xxwookey]

Well, that was impressively nerdy, although those grills made it more or less impossible to see what some machines were doing.

[@sxsignal]

wonder if they could do something similar in concept as CPC is doing with the stamped/pressed Carbonfiber for Aptera (as a US based company)

[@cengeb]

Did you see thecstampers at Wolfsburg vw factory? They stamp out 10 million tons a day...parts for several vag brands. With 6000 abb,kuka robots...thats just one factory of over 120 plants around the worldwide empire

[@jondiaz3475]

Would have loved to see the purchase req that ordered all that specialized tooling. 😊

[@TennisGvy]

Hadrian Automation is getting a lot of buzz in the news for its automated manufacturing tech. It'd be cool if Sandy could get an inside look and let us know if they're full of hot air or not

[@capslock9031]

I mean, I get the bragging with your patents and all, but using fashion models in a factory is a really next level flex... kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6ebfq2cj5p0qJI

[@yorkchris10]

Is there a Wiegel museum or did the punch cards go to China.

[@cengeb]

If Sandi ever went to the Porsche factory or VW Wolfsburg, he would probably have a heart attack, with 6000 robots running non stop, and 30,000 employees. He would actually see a true high end factory. he goes all ga ga over the dank, chaotic Tesla places, like a real rube. He really has no high quality point of reference. certainly being at Ford is low end

[@gregeconomeier1476]

I hate that the USA cannot compete with the Asians and Germans in so many areas of manufacturing machinery. Hopefully, the USA will become competitive sooner rather than later.

[@cengeb]

It won't. We are a failed society. China is now getting bigger than ever. Mexico exports more vehicles than the u.s.

[@ADOENDRA]

But, who is the hotty at 8:05 ? 🙂

[@Eric_In_SF]

“Toolworks” it’s not an acronym. It’s a suffix :-)

[@MRSketch09]

Sucks they are opening a plant in Mexico... I'm old enough to know, what this alludes to.

[@JimmySeahawk]

Cheaper products?

[@juriscervenaks8953]

@MRSketch09 There was many Mexicans in this factory also, they work for less. But Mexican pay is raising, just like China's salaries went up. And now they can't compete for cheapest labor prices, that is why cheap labor factories move to other south east countries. There is really no other option, if your competitors move part of their factories to cheaper country, you need to follow or go out of business. Many companies relocating from EU, Germany to USA because of expensive electricity and gas, due to sanctions, and not buying Russian gas.

[@wiegelmfg]

Hello- Quite the contrary, we’re going to have a facility in Mexico in order to service our customer base within Mexico.

[@MRSketch09]

@@wiegelmfg *gives you side eye* Thanks for the reply Listen I've studied economics & taxes enough to know why you're truly going to Mexico. I don't hold it against you.

Can Sandi make a complete sentence without ummm, aaaahhh, ummmmm, then ahhhh ummmmmm, aaaaaahhhhhh

[@danielcrotty8141]

YAWN! I made to 15 minutes.... A 10 sec Robots working would have done it. At the end, I have no idea why Im looking at it !

[@pauljefferies9087]

Why are you watching it, if you don’t know why you are watching it?

[@ZeroInDaHouse]

Sandy should understand that not EVERYTHING should be done in house, this is how you build a healthy eco system that relies on each other, I mean look at that Japanese machine that even Sandy never seen before if it wasn't for open technology trade and people sharing their IP with others with no fear of it getting replicated that is how you drive innovation. Sure within sub categories you can have competition but once you start to take over everything you become a cancer to the whole eco system.

[@robinheider414]

The minute I have to transport a part from one geographic location to another I have introduced new inefficiencies and costs. If i can build in house just in time becomes irrelevant; it becomes in time.' I manufacture as and when I need no warehousing . I can also iterate in real time not in supplier time. I remove the whole operating profit of a third party and can remove its arms length labour and expertise and bring it in house. The best eco system is no ecosystem. Why should a manufacturer pay for the ceo, accountant, lawyer and sales force of a third party if it can make the part competitively it in house.

[@BarryStaes]

USA: 🤠“patented welding process” World: innovating is not legal work

[@jondiaz3475]

Boy, you’ve got that right.

[@MrJaszako]

How about instead of filming Sandy's back of the head you film what the machine is doing?

[@MunroLive]

Certain machines we couldn’t show.

[@cengeb]

Let's see the factory that makes kuka or abb robots

[@cengeb]

Ever wonder why if Sandi is so smart,why he went nowhere at ford? Maybe his ideas where not good. Surely he could have become more than an after the fact critic. Complaining about other people's work is like a movie critic that never made a movie

[@tesla_tap]

@@cengeb My understanding is that Sandy did quite well at Ford, but was often shut down by management unwilling to do anything new or different. Later he got into Ford management and was able to do more.

[@cengeb]

@@tesla_tap When looking at Ford's current sad state of recall after recall, how many of his more plastic snaps where implemented ? all Sandi wants is made cheaper, not better. It's unsustainable. Maybe even Ford people was tired of his always make it cheaper, not better. He complains about accountants cutting costs, but all he wants is cheaper cheaper cheaper. Same result, poor quality junk. If he thinks Tesla is high quality, with it's unfix-able single modules, single casted assys., he is truly delusional, and not a quality oriented concept. Make it faster and cheaper is bound to fail. And he uses the term "engineer" if he has no PE certs, or degree, it's false marketing..Many states will fine people and companies using that term falsely in marketing and business communications. It's a legal term, words matter.

[@bui340]

Why would a consultant tear down a car? Isn't it easier to just walk along the assembly line and observe how it is put together and which parts that are used and so on.

[@TerryPullen]

I think he said they are a tier three supplier, which means they supply parts to a tier two supplier who in turn supplies to a tier one who supplies directly to the car manufacturer. To do what you suggest, Munro would have to visit the assembly line of hundreds of suppliers worldwide to see how everything was assembled. The next time you see a modern automobile you should be in awe that it exists at all, they are truly amazing machines, built by amazing humans.
