Anyone else get hypnotized by this?
Definitely!
Always a pleasure to watch a modern automatic lathe working.
However I really miss the authentic grating & carving sounds from the operating tools.
Its so common to find these videos with any kind of "fancy" music, which destroys the pleasure of watching.
@@CXensation Check out some of my videos no music just a sound of metal chips flying. 😉
@@ChrisMaj Will do 😉
Nice to see the company monitors the the comments! Niles has a very long history, over a century. I'm not familiar with Simmons but a short vid or intro on future videos would give customers an idea of the history of these companies. Survival alone is an accomplishment!
A video covering the history of all of the connected NSH Group companies like Niles, Hegenscheidt, and us at Simmons is a capital idea - good suggestion!
Step dad worked at a box car plant as a welder, they also turned axles and wheels but on old punch card and tape NC machines.... Yes it was the 70s !

Very cool! I am betting those machines your stepfather worked on were either Farrel or Niles machines. Thanks for watching!
It's very cool to get to see one of these run with the doors open and no coolant running. We run 4 N40 machines where I work to manufacture axles. But due to safety issues we must keep the doors closed. We do it all, from forging raw material to finished axle, all in one facility.
Four n40s! What shop are you in?
And yes, while the doors definitely keep chips + coolant contained, they certainly obstruct the action. For more recent shoots, I've been using GoPros. Thanks for checking out the video!

What an amazing machine! Fantastic.
+Surinder Singh Thanks for the kind words!
1hat is a bad ass set up!!! love it wish we had one at our shop!!!
Thanks Mike! The N40 is the real deal.
Very good, but PLEASE get rid of the music.
4:25, man that turning tool got scary close to the jaws! Personally I hate taking tools that close but that is just me! I know the machines are capable and all! Great video!
+kevin O It does get close, doesn't it? Here's to precision machines! Thanks for stopping by the channel, Kevin - hope you took a gander at some of our other machines.
That's not close, you can still see a hairs gap between! ;)
That was pretty safe...when you can move within 0.005mm it either clears the jaws or crashes on the jaws! Turning so close to the jaws though can sometimes give you problem with chip formation and evacuation, typically ending with a slash of chips going for your face on manual machines...
The joy of CNC is that if it works the first time it will work the next time too!.......

AMAZING MACHINE
It is indeed - hope you can check out some of the other videos on our channel.
great video
Thanks Lawrence!
I used to machine bigger shafts on a conventional Niles c/l in the 80s. 3/8" a side at .032" per rev feed with 15 degree approach tool. Plenty of power!!
Awesome! Niles has been doing it right for quite some time.
Same here but on an axelson 36" swing lathe. You can take some evil cuts on an old manual lathe if you know what youre doing.
Taking some crazy deep cuts
We are not messing around here at Simmons - if a deep cut is required, we have a machine for that. For another deep cut, check out our CNC Wheel Lathe: ua-cam.com/video/JkefqDVsKvc/v-deo.html&t
Interesting. When I worked at ACF Industries, the Wheel and Axle shop received the axles pre-machined, but oversize. They were then turned close to size in regular lathes, then ground in a Landis centerless grinder, before being pressed into the wheels. The semi-finished axles came into the plant on a flat car, in banded stacks.
The wheels came in similar to the same, where they were bored and the OD turned, if need be, in two vertical boring mills, gauged, then sent to the wheel press.
That was in the old Huntington plant, so I'm not sure what they do in Arkansas now. Before working there, and after, I sold large fab equipment, and I was the Pandjiris rep for the Ohio valley area at the time (Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia). Pandjiris is who made the car rotators, welding seamers, welding gantries, etc. I was a repair rep for the old NCG burning machines, too, and sold Detroit Hoist hoists and cranes.
+craxd1 Wild stuff! Thanks for checking in + checking out the videos!
Yes me too. Incredible innovative
Thanks!
Wow. Badass machine
We very much agree!
Nice machine
Thanks! We are definitely proud of it.
nice machine.
Thanks for checking out the video! It is quite the machine.
Baap Machine 6e bhai 👌👌👌

Nice Video .. Music DESTROYS it completely though !
영상 잘보고 갑니다...
그것은 나에게 계획처럼 들린다! 시청 해주셔서 감사합니다.
Love this machine
We agree - it's quite the machine! Thanks for watching.
1000th like by me!!
Huzzah! Here's to many more.
It's great but how do you keep the chips from getting caught in the steady rest rollers?
+Pete Rohr Those steady rest rollers are part of the CNC programming, and thus they move with the work piece and do not intersect with the cutting tools. As you can see at about 1:41, the motion of the turning also pushes aside the few chips that do pile up.
there are Barrens made into the steady rest, that's the only thing that could get damaged. when it does replace the barrens.
Good programming
True story! Thanks for watching, Arun.

Sure?
Amazing how much stock can be removed cleanly in a single pass. Looks as though the cutting depth reaches a quarter inch or more. Jeeeez.... I wonder if this is softer steel intended to be heat treated later?
This machine is for axle production, so yeah, it has to take off a lot of material. I do not believe it will be heat treated later in the process, though. For more deep cuts, check out our wheel lathe: ua-cam.com/video/JkefqDVsKvc/v-deo.html
im curious, dont the rollers get damaged if a chip gets in between them and the workpiece? is there some sourt of air barrier?
+middlemanclayton1 As I mentioned elsewhere in the comments to +Pete Rohr, those steady rest rollers are part of the CNC programming, and thus they move with the work piece and do not intersect with the cutting tools. Thanks for checking out the video! Hope you checked out some others while you were on our channel.
Yes the rollers can get damaged by swarf chips as can the workpiece. Normally flood coolant will help guard against this.
Perhaps air dispersal,i believe no coolant is used to prevent hot and cold spots from damaging the forging process during removal of large amounts of material.
that's some hardcore shit right there Marine
Seriously.
Do you know what alloy of steel used for railway axles. Why does a very long spiral chip shoot of at beginning of change cut direction?
Hi Charles - I don't immediately have answers to either of your questions. I will ask around and see what I can dig up for you. Thanks for watching!
Can you tell me about the chuck or point me to the specs?
Gone are the days of form tools to plunge large fillets radii.....well, almost gone. : )
Hi Bob - here are the specs for the N40, which might differ slightly from the machine shown here: www.niles-simmons.de/en/cnc-lathe-n40.html. Hope that helps!
To make the big radiusses (radii?) on axles we used to do the lot on a Fischer Copy Lathe.
Where do you guys find the sound track for this holy cow!

Такая чистота поверхности и глубина реза достигаются за счет невероятной жесткости станка? Как этого добиваются? Почему не применялось охлаждение?
Да, жесткость станка является ключевым фактором, но также и выбор вкладышей, а также наша долгая история инноваций в станкостроении. Это похожая история с отсутствием охлаждающей жидкости. Спасибо за просмотр видео!
Without any coolant? Don't you have thermal issues?
No coolant necessary! We've been utilizing dry machining technology for decades without incident.
How many parts are you getting per side on a roughing insert?
It all depends on depth of cut, amount of material being removed in process, feed rate, coolant or dry cut, etc.
I actually meant on this particular process or op the way it is set up and programmed in this video.
I honestly don't know - let me dig and see if I can get the answer for you. Thanks for watching!
Simmons Machine Tool Corporation thanks for such a great awsner. I appreciate it!
i need how to hold small diameter job in cnc turning machine
How small? I can potentially help you with railway axles - but beyond that might require further research on your part.
how much cutting depth and feedrate? spindle speed? can do 10mm and 0.5mm feedrate?
All of this information (and more!) can be found on our website: nsh-usa.com/machine/niles-axle-lathe. Thanks for watching!
hello sir, i have a kingston machine type CL38C. i have a problem with the alarm code "ex 1034 2nd turred not inposition" what is the solution ,, i expect your answer
Hi Gus - sorry to hear about your machine. However, this is Simmons, not Kingston. I'm guessing you can find more information pertaining to your machine here: www.kingstonmachine.com/lathes/cl-series/cl38 - good luck, and thanks for watching!
tool change is a bit slow
How many kw does this spindle have?
Seems like the max would be 87 kW: www.niles-simmons.de/en/cnc-lathe-n40.html
Simmons Machine Tool Corporation wow thats is a lot of power. Very nice machine!
Simmons Machine Tool Corporation Where is manufacturing of this machine?
The N40 is not messing around! Thanks for checking out the video.
This machine in question was made in Chemnitz, Germany at the Niles-Simmons facility. However, if you are a North American railway customer, it would go through us here at Simmons in Albany, New York, USA. You in the market for one?
What is this music name? :D
Welcome To The Machine!
Surprised to see no coolant flowing.
It all depends on the customer - some want a machine with coolant, some without. Thanks for watching!
There's this liquid stuff that people use called coolant. Does anybody know what it's used for? That's right kids, it cools the insert so it lasts 10 times longer. Just came out like a century or two ago.
Hi Trever - the machine in question is likely equipped to use coolant, and thus it is up to the customer + their needs and/or application as to whether it get used. Thanks for the tip, though.
I need this machine
I mean, I'm biased on the matter, but YES, you need this machine.
If the machine is needed .. But how much money this machine is
Hi Hader Ali - if you are working for an axle production facility or wheel set maintenance facility, drop us a line at sales@smtgroup.com with your production requirements and we will go from there. Thanks!
We proof machine axles supplied by Indian Railways on 1960's all geared jhon lang & dean smith and co,the rate which govt gives for the axles is too low almost nill.Thats why India lacks behind western world,lower rates,standards no research and development facilities at SMEs,Personally I know people who are still running steam powered rice mills.Nice Machine,keep on developing and contributing in development of world.
Wow - sounds like you have quite the job, Raghav. Thanks for watching, and good luck!

Same to you, Dian! Thanks.
Great video!!! Take a hint and ditch that horrible noisy music!!!!

Honestly? It's starting to grow on me. Thanks for watching!
Обороты великоваты
Вы имеете в виду смену инструмента? Если это так, стоит упомянуть, что эта машина была модернизирована и оптимизирована с момента создания этого видео. Спасибо за просмотр!
Holy fuck its that off center
+mrmikemanify doesnt matter... they machine it true to the chuck and center
I know that I work as a cnc operator.
Those bits must be very expensive
They are not prohibitively expensive - particularly given the quality of its work and the tool's lifespan.
when u realyze the image and the sound are not in time contact: pri
celess XD
Man... Well, hope you enjoyed the video despite the discrepancy. Thanks for watching!

It's the first time someone has wanted more of that jazzy tune! Thanks for letting me know - and thanks for watching!
This music is horrible! I could take it for half a minute before I muted it. The video is highly interesting though.
jakobv8 exactly raped my ears in first few seconds
The music made may laugh my ass off dang.
Nope, its not. This machine only makes shafts (see how the turrents have like only 8 tools?). The toolchanges happen when the turrents aren't in use, like during loading of the next piece. It changes tools to replace worn inserts, not because it needs to switch another tool type (like how some CNC lathes have 200 tool magazines - this is not the case - those lathes do more complex operations so they need all those tools).

Музыка гавно
We've been waiting on your remix for some time now...
Thanks for watching + sharing!
please repost without the horrible music !
When are you sending in your remix?
Not keen on the technique, seems lazy. Surely you start by removing the rust and hammer scale from the forging? Then bring the component into round, to reduce vibration and increase bearing life and product quality. All done with cheaper tool bits, save the good ones for the real cutting.
Some interesting points, 77gravity - thanks for watching the video!
Narration, not music!
My preference in order: the sound of the machine and/or space, narration, music. Thanks for watching!
To Slow for CNC..
Hi Larry - you can't rush perfection! Thanks for watching.
Very annoying music ....
When are you sending us your remix?
Never. Instead use the genuine sound from the machine, in both stereo sound channels.
Lose the idiotic crap music,jeez!!!!!
We've been waiting for your remix, Dan!
