So happy you are posting regularly again.
Same 😀
Most of us oldies are used to the turtle schedule of JG. Man's gotta work, so he can't film all the time.
Just a note for next time- if you suspect you’ve lost a phase in your power, it’s best to fully shut down any 3-phase equipment, especially the expensive stuff. Some equipment can be damaged if it’s single-phasing.
Try using some closed cell neoprene as a pad on the machine dollys. As it will collapse and hold. But Pretty quickly will expand when unloaded to help maintain contact over little humps in the floor.
11:47 "I would have been equally happio with the speedio" :)
Great to see. When I see these videos I can't help but think back to the early days in your garage. Well done, you've worked so hard to make this happen and it's great to see all you have achieved.
I hope there will be a video were the machines are working in tandem with each other as a fellow machinist i look forward to seeing it. 👍
I've missed this regular content!welcome back
10:05 you have machinery, so you could make a larger pad for the movers, that has an incorporated rubber strip in it. If you call big rubber companies, they usually sell mats as well. Some are merely for sample purposes, so if you grease the person speaking, you could get enough samples for your movers that way. Also, make a little stand that allows you to grip them (on it) using one of the handles, so they don't sit on the floor. If there's a spill, you'll get the wheels dirty and once they get like that, they never come back. One last thing about those, inspect the wheels every time you want to move something with them. Better to change the wheel than find mid-move that the rubber has split and you're one wheel dragging the floor into a Mariana trench (don't ask me how i know). I'd get at least a couple of those wheels in stock, just in case. AND never take them outside on gravel. If you must, run over to a bigbucks store and buy a sheet of thin galvanized metal. But never on raw concrete. Again, once you do it, you'll never be able to use them on your floor.
I can't wait to see the Kern/speedio Cell totally optimized and humming! Your vision is inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
WOW! You guys have grown so much! Very impressive! Keep up the great momentum and God Bless!
Excited to see all the projects with both machines and the changer in between
Great Video! Some footage of the Speedio zipping around and changing tools was missing, just frightening!
Also really excited on a Video about the chip-conveyor on the Brother!
Thank you for sharing this, very encouraging
The roll grinders we rebuild for steel mills can be up to 100 tons fully assembled and some grind rolls that are 70 tons.
oh finally, ive been waiting for this video!
I remember all the Speedio fun they brought to IMTS 2018
Great video 👍 Nice my comment all those year's ago has come to pass you got a Speedo.
You should really get the sealing rings for the ITS chucks. The Erowa can load the correct sizenin
before it loads the pallet and heavily cuts down on contamination into the chuck, your through spindle coolant washdown routine is good and everything but prevention is better than reaction.
glad to hear that someone else knows about the Erowa sealing rings, I just purchased a 148mm erowa chuck and saw them in the catalog and thought it was a great idea. But I have never seen a picture of them being used, all the videos published by kern and others just show it being used unprotected without problems. but I am not excited about paying $550 for every size of sealing ring. I might try 3D printing a sealing ring first.
I would seriously consider a 5 axis conversion for the new machine so you can do much more with it, even a simple flimsy rotating system would be enough if it can be automatically locked in any position
good update kern is top of machining
Communication between the erowa and brother should be quite easy. You have 2 open PLCs in the brother and there is a Profibus option.
For the surface finish there is a smoothing option that can be installed on site if you don't already have it. Same for 5th axis indexer you might need a column riser kit. I used to setup brother production lines on a international basis. Depending of your dealer they might not know of all the options you can have with the brothers.
Profibus, what year is it?
Profinet/safe all the things!
@@DeKempster for the new control have to look it up. But they supported it already for a long time.
That machines pulls several G in acceleration. I can recommend to get into G100 to save you even more cycle time.
I guess that a lot of people simply don't know about them .......but, air bearings.
There isn't a machine on Earth that can't be easily moved by using mover's air bearings.
They're light weight and there are no moving parts - no wheels. Very low profile.
You could even make your own.
Anyway, for the future, AIR BEARINGS! 😊
Could you please do an update on the two used Mills you bought because the last I remember hearing is they needed a hard drives replaced but that’s all I heard and I was actually interested in more about those machines
Putt foam on the trolley. It will follow the machine. Even if it really big dimps etc.
I wonder if air bearings could have moved the machines for you. We used them to move granite based PCB drill machines.
Hi John , I have heard you talk about those y axis witness marks on the BOM. I got to wondering if your post is outputting enough decimal digits for the brother? If you want tenths movements you output 4 decimals, but if you want smaller movements you will have to output 5 or 6 decimals. The brother may be rounding according to the supplied precision rather than its max precision.
@JohnGrimsmo how do you handle material and consumable flow with that many machines? Do you have an ERP/MES or are you spreadsheeting? Love that you are back btw - you were something to look for in the early 2020s
16:34 👀
So his up to have what 5-6 different cnc brands in the shop now ( only counting the cnc's/ mills and lathes not the bar feeders and palet changers or grinders or lapping machine )
Think that cell would have made more sense with a U or M model Speedio, no?
Cast Iron can and will absolutely destroy your machine in the long runs =)
send me some of that richlite and I'll figure out the tooling for you
I am curious, what is the $ marker for on the stock clamped into the Erowa pallet changer? Is it just a internal way of knowing whats good useable material vs questionable?
2:47 please, teach the kids to not stay anywhere near the forklift as it moves. As an architect (that should tell you how remote my connection to these damned things is) i've seen my fair share of accidents happen because of this. That thing doesn't care about fingers. I get what he was doing, but that's the operator's job, and if he can't do it properly, then said person needs more training.
I know the German video is a meme in the industry, but it really is a machine that requires respect and distance. Just my 2 cents.
Hay John, I'll buy a piece of richlite from ya, I want to test it for keyboard keycaps :)
(I'm on the mountain)
Oh Brother, where art thou?
Msybe You should talk to Erowa directly and hook up brother to the changing station without involving Kern
Man I've wanted a speedio for a while. Not made parts for it to make money though 😂
what ist the price of KERN and speedio?
One thing that got me a little concerned. You guys are way too "best friend" with your forklift. I mean people standing between the forklift and other machines in tight spaces, or right behind it. Sure, you want an extra eye to help to not ram anything. But please keep in mind that thing drives over your feet, and they are gone, smashed.
This is great, but the underlying static hum tone in this video is honestly unbearable.
