HANDS DOWN THE MOST IMPRESSIVE SINGLE SET-UP MACHINING I'VE SEEN ON YOU-TUBE.
Even better standing next to one. Even better programming it.
They flip the leg around halfway through.
All you machinist videographers out there... This is how it's done! Each operation only needs a few seconds to show us what's happening.
Not everyone is retired, and wants to sit through an hour-long machining video that's shot in real-time.
+Landrew0 Thanks Landrew! Yes, it gets the point across, keeps it lively and doesn't give you a chance to get bored. Great observation and much appreciated.
Thanks for no cheesy background music. If you're looking to bust open the bank account you want to hear the machine in heavy cuts first. Awesome machines. PS: Still sell a lot of the NEXTURN swiss cncs? Looking for options similar to Traub.
tell me about it not to mention the awful music in the background
this should have millions of views. its such a great representation of modern technology/engineering
My jaw freakin' dropped when that spindle mounted turning tool came out!
a couple of years ago i was invited to visit the company in upper austria by a good friend of mine who used to work there. i tell ya it's like the machining heaven of some sort, utterly impressive machines and worpieces to gloat about...
I think they used every trick in the book on that component. Very impressive.
If the book was printed every single chapter would have whole lineups of volumes...There are way too many trick to design a single part to employ them all but that was still an insane demo
That boring head change blew my mind. And I'd never have thought something as simple as a common microswitch would've sufficed for broken tool detection.
Excellent video. Thank you for not adding music to it.
I gave up my cnc milling/turning work in the 90s for a degree and a desk job. But man, this video gives me wood!
What an impressive piece of kit! I'd have loved the opportunity to program some parts on that before I retired. Great stuff Martech.
Respect to the programmer, nice work 👍
I think I'll stick one of these in the garage. Nice little hobby machine.
Jaw dropped at 4:38. Very cool.
This was pretty impressive. I haven't seen something like this before.
Yeah, live diameter changes on outside boring bar! Wow
And the finish is still looking like polished
This is a D'Andrea U-Axis head. It is basically a servo controlled boring bar which can perform contour boring or (in this case) turning operations.
These shavings, people, are what trickles down the recycling chain and eventually buys you affordable cars and much, much more.
What do you mean?
Rich Handsome
Recycling is important. Just that.
Ok this machine pretty much has all the tools and capabilities I ever wanted from a CNC lathe/mill.
If you can afford to spend US$3 million.
thank you for sharing such great art
Expensive machinery. Its only a dream
That my friends is a work of art!
Bravo!
Awesome video!
No mistakes here. That is A LOT of stack material to throw on the re-cycle pile.
i think these guys just have a good time making machinery parts for themselves their own WFL machines
Some of you may decry this machine as being slow, but this thing was designed for strength and accuracy above all else. Remember, they were designed originally for making locomotive components!
Una bellissima fusione di tecnica e tecnologia.
Una bellissima fusione di tecnica e tecnologia.
Means...
A beautiful blend of technique and technology.
Thanks!
that is some really cool milling bru
We used to make them on a manual bridgeport, piece of cake 🎂
Saudade dos bons tempos, fui torneiro mecânico do tempo de rosca na unha...
When that boring bar was making its way into the hole :O OHHH MY GOD 9:11
Very well done indeed, whether this is a demo part or actually going flying.
I thought our Mazak Orbitec was impressive. This thing changes a head and it goes from 5 axis 45* face mill hogging to doing the same thing (on a smaller scale). Most complex tool changer I've ever seen, though. Then it pulls out a four foot boring bar....
Just out of interest what's the cycle time on this part?
Watch the milling capability of this machine! WFL offers a 75HP Milling Motor but the most impressive this is...they build a machine rigid enough to enable you to fully utilize such an awesome capability.
Good programing.. 👍👍 1st tehcnichtion
No... this is Tool Breakage Detection. Sometimes, when using a small drill in an automated environment, it is good practice to check the presence of the tool both before and after usage. This is especially important if there are subsequent machining operations to be performed. For example, if a Tap or a Reamer were to follow that drill, it would be a good practice to insure that the drill did not break before sending in the Tap/Reamer.
how big was this piece ? what was the cycle time?
Simply beautiful
A multi-tasking machine machining main landing gear strut from high strength, precipitation hardening ss_ I am not sure if they used the ss or the classic option of low-alloy steel, I think it is the latter one for this video
Corte sem refrigeração é demais. O Torno CNC Top,
QC just said that bore is out of tolerance by .0005 shift it and make a new one!
It's easily capable of much tighter tolerances than that...but then that's inevitable.
thats a realy impressive work! :)
great video
I want M200 MILLTURN for home use, in my backyard))))))))
Now the next step is X rayed and then finishing processes ,like polishing and other extra issues, like aircraft testing and then certification by aircraft engineers like men/women from boeing or airbus or other larger commercial aircraft manufacturers and military engineering manufacturing companies, to certify that it passed all the tests by the book only then will it be tagged and bagged for use as a spare part with its international spare part codes engraved by lasers to make sure that it can be traced if something should go wrong?

Would not want to troubleshoot the tool changer. *cringe. Incredible single step machining. We need this at Parker Enumclaw.
this is a dream
So amazing work 👍👍👍
What Software was used to program this madness?
that is sick!! that is a big problem for me when running cnc's. I find myself M00 commands after any operation that might break a tool. I want that machine.... haha
At the 6:08 you have a simple limit switch to take the tool length offset...? (clever if it works ok...) Very impressive video though!
Actually, that switch is only detecting whether or not a tool is present. "Broken Tool Detection" When small or delicate tools are used in a long running automated cycle, the practice would be to check and make sure the tool is still present after it's cutting cycle. In this case, you wouldn't want to tap hole number 4 if the drill broke off in hole number 3
Incredible
I want one of these more than I want to see colors
Awesome programming skills. How long did it take to program the part? I couldn't imagine making anything like this using the old methods. By the way, how long did it take to machine, 1 to 2 days?
I meant to say that no one else makes a machine its size that is as rigid as this.
3500kg to 67kg omg
it's... beautiful
A M A Z I N G ! ! !
There are definitely a lot of chips made but nothing says they can't be recycled. Even the best forging cannot beat a solid billet in terms of integrity and strength.
mark peachy i thing this is just a demo do show the machine capacity to mill complex shapes and do different apps on the same milling center from a single solid billet
Wow. Makes the parts I think are cool making real boring. What the price tag on that? 2M?
If you have to ask the cost, you can't afford it.
Well, almost. The cost of this machine is substantially north of a million dollars. It is in the same league as the higher end Integrex and Multus machines. And even then it's better. As in the construction of the machine base- no one else makes a machine more rigid compared to its size.
Nur das ich das richtig verstehe, das Werkzeug ab 4:33, ist sowas wie ein Ausdrehkopf, der von einem weiteren Servo radial ausgelenkt wird?
This is a Servo Controlled U-Axis head. It has contouring capabilities so it can be used for OD or ID contouring work.
that is......awesomeee
There is some mistake in the weights of raw and finished parts in the end of the video.
have fun deburring that part
The question Im asking myself is, how do you measure this part? Must be a nightmare..
I have a question, if for some reason you need 1000+ pieces of this part do they keep doing them in the CNC machine or can they turn it into a mold and make them with casting or something?
They would be all cnc machined, depending on the application, but casting compromises the structure of the steel so would be unsuitable for an aerospace application. Quality control comes before cost in the aerospace industry. Though there's no reason that it couldn't be machined in sections and welded by the looks. This is more for a demonstration I would think XD. Would require finish machining either way haha.
Alex Smith This is a landing leg used on Aircraft, it is made this way for optimum strength, and lightness (weight)...there is no other way to make this part and gaurentee its strength everytime it hits the deck with that tonnage and the forces involved. Hence the reason Aeronautical parts are so expensive....Take a look at the manurfacture of turbine compressor blades and engine components....cost and wastage of material are not really a deciding factor in the manurfacturing process. Each and every part MUST be as near to perfect as possible EVERYTIME.upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/dd/Oleo_torque_link_main_landing_gear.JPG/640px-Oleo_torque_link_main_landing_gear.JPG
Now here is the key with billet parts... billet parts have the capability of being of higher strength than a forged part. It depends on what kind of steel the part is made from. A billet part is cut from a solid chunk of steel, so the material does NOT have to be forgeable. You can make parts out of superior strength materials to forging, because you do not have to pick a material that is forgable
dave shand The thing is, this particular component would more than meet strength requirements as a forging. We've even made them welded from multiple parts. The cost of manufacturing from billet would be absurd. It'd be hours of cutting time and tool life wasted for no good reason. Yes a solid billet is stronger but it doesn't need to be.
dave shand what about grain orientation in the steel? i dont have much knowledge but i was led to believe drop forged then cnc machined has the highest strength to weight ratio if the direction of the forces are known.
Wouldn't the part warp a lot when you remove that much material?
DEMONSTRATION is the word you missed from the video description. They are not showing the capabilities of their shop but the features of the machine. At least I hope so.
Maloy7800 jup its demo I saw that part in real at WFL Linz
die zeichnung von dem teil würd ich gerne mal sehen, würd mich interessieren wie die toleranzen sind. bestes cnc video was ich auf youtube gesehen hab, geiles teil
I would guess this part has been to rest for some days before final machining? with all this matieral and roughing machining the material would start to move. If you have precision geometry tolerances and fine tolerances , not giving the matieral a days rest after roughing would highly damage the quality of the part. just wodering^^.
why is the coolant switched on after 5 seconds when drilling?
That boring bar at like 8:15 probably cost $30,000.00
guessing that broaching and spline after cost more...
assuming that is a Sandvik 570-3C-80-1400-CR ..... . It costs 49282 EUR without any tool heads , 1 of it is also about 500 euro . Including the toolholder assembly , i guess it's about 55000€ ish . I just hope that boring bar has a long life , and no 'snap action' machining.
Das ist vom Front Gear, oder?
Wie wird das Teil entgratet?
starting at minute 4:30 , what is this boring bar called? where can I get this tool? and how do you control it?
very interesting.
+Vyacheslav Marinovski It's a special tool that gives you additional turning capabilities. Typically every manufacturer have their own name of it for example: D'Andrea - TaCenter(they also offer different solutions) , Komet - KomTronic ( additional axis)
high end !
Keine Gefangenen! Das sind mal Sachen :)))
Well I won't be doing that on my Harrison T300 lol.
@6.07,what is happening there?checking the bit length?
At 5:00 there, what tool is that? outside profile boring?????? OMG!
They say the tool path engineer is insane after programming this...
what software do you use ? and will it work with mazak integrex as well ?
The CAM system is TOPSOLID. But few of features are programed with WFL machining cycles
I know this is a DEMO, but if you don't mind me asking, how much time this component would take in real life?
lets say an average of Q=500cm³/min steel. 1000cm³ steel is 8kg ----) that equals 4kg/min. they removed 3400kg. 3400kg divided by 4kg/min = 850min. 850min divided by 60= 14 hours but I think a bit longer
is that part of the front landing gear?
Is the end backwards? The raw was 7lbs but the finished part was 148lbs? Machining this part added 141lbs? XD
Hello: In Europe the comma and the decimal point are used in the opposite of the USA. So Raw Material is 7,716 lbs (written 7.716)
👍👍👍
Impressive:)))
All that, and you screw up the weights at the end?
European countries use decimals as commas. So seven thousand pound raw weight to one hundred and fifty finished weight.
Where is the part, which was manufactured, used?
Landing leg for an Aircraft. technically I think its called an Oleo tourque Link...?upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/dd/Oleo_torque_link_main_landing_gear.JPG/640px-Oleo_torque_link_main_landing_gear.JPG
Who made this program ?
Manuel-programming or Cam?
İf Cam , what is the Cam ?
This is workpiece not stressing ???
50% CAM programming, 50% manually. The name of the CAM system is Top Solid.
Hi Sean: There are a number of aftermarket suppliers that can provide "Broken Tool Detection" for ANY CNC Machine. Why don't you email me and I'll point you in the right direction. I can post email addresses in my reply but martechcnc is the domain and your looking for "info" right? put it all together :)
У нас таких две.
What was the total machining time
amazin
What programming software is used?
Top Solid developed by Missler Software (french)
Bem loko !!!
4:34 How the hell is it able to taper it like that with a rotating tool?
The working diameter of the off axis insert isn't fixed.
The machine is utilizing a "U-Axis" Head for that tapered cut. It is a CNC Controlled head that can move the cutter in-out to create any desired contour.
Aircraft landing gear ???
could that part be made from a casting? then machining of material excess? I can just imagine the weight and volume of chips. Did they counter balanced the part after milling? To improve vibration while turning.
you probably could not control the material accuratly enough... these alloys are specialized high strength things that are not exactlyeasy to manufacture. that "aircraft grade" aluminium that you see so often for example is actuallynot really used in aerospace applications. airbus makes most lare aluminiumparts out of 2024 or 7071 alloy both of which are non weldable high strength which are not exactly easy to manufacture and work with. the piece here looks like its part of the landing gear (whichmakes sence as that is made out of high strength steels) i do not know what exactly is used for that application,but i guess its not possible to cast it without loosing strengh. the other reason why it could be mnufacured like this is because they for example need only a very small number of these so making a mold would actually be more expensive
I agree. Also we must consider material removal produces parts with different mechanical properties, than stamping, metal forging or whatever the manufacturing process. I just got mi initial idea so fast that I didn't think deeper.

Dear Sirs,
we have for sale WFL 120 M x 3000 mm , 1999 , very good condition.
Landind component?
its a landing gear
Been in the game 20 years just spent last 6 month setting operating one of these nothing any near these machines for quality and ease of use their is not a better MILLTURN machine out there I've used mazak geildermeister Mori. None are on the same planet never mind ball park these machines are not cheap but if you want the best you pay for it WFL no 1 fact
wow.
