    Invest in a couple of Johnson Bars. Once the machine is on the skates moving it with the bars is not too bad.

    It really pleases me to see a young person getting on the job experience. Was he a local engineering student? [EDIT] ahh, nephew Simon... still a big help.

    That Boy 90, check and clean the oil water cooling solenoid, and then water flow check when open, if the water temp is below 18°C it shouldn't have a problem 22°C max. If all that is o.k, I would pump acid through the oil transfer cooler and make sure you treat the water and monitor the PH level correctly. It's best to have two in-closed chillers, one for the tooling and one for the machines. Using 1" flex pipe would help to supply the water too.
    Good luck

      @@DragonflyEngineering yeah was going to correct it 3/4" after I had wrote it but I thought you would get the idea, insulated metal pipe until close to the machine would be the best.

      If you have a filter on the inlet at 45° it probably just that possible thinking about it, but you need an in-line filter on the inlet to stop an contam getting into the cooler.

    90 ton? Really? Maybe 9,0?

    • @DragonflyEngineering
      @DragonflyEngineering  3 місяці тому

      The 90 ton is the clamping force of the molding machine, it weighs about 3.5 tons. Thanks for watching!

    Your "tank trucks" will work a lot better if you take the wheels off, and turn off the red soft plastic they put on there and just have bare steel wheels. They copied the design, and the got the "plastic" and "red" part right, but they messed up on the "super hard" aspect of those "tires". I have 2 sets of those, both with bare steel wheels, and they roll really nice now. They even sell them with an option of bare steel wheels now instead of the soft rubber.

      With bare steel wheels, you definitely wouldn't need a winch to move it. I have a ~7000lb cnc lathe and a 12000lb mill (though the mill isn't currently 12,000 because a bunch of stuff is off of it), and on a smooth concrete floor, I can push either machine myself on those yellow skates.

      @@DragonflyEngineering I got that tip from one of the guys at NYC CNC yt channel - I saw them using those amzn/eby skates to move a mill, and made a comment about it, and they replied "turn the rubber/plastic off the wheels on the lathe - they work fantastically after that", so the credit goes to them!
