I worked for Rob many years ago, so cool to see how much he's grown. He's a good dude.
Any vacancy
@@SuryaPana....7959 Are you a fork lip driver?
@@kathyr2872what's a "fork lip"?
I am very proud to say that Rob from EVP is my younger brother, and I am extremely amped and excited to see him featured in this video! It has been an honor watching him mold himself and his business into the empire that it is today, and what I love most about Rob, is that he's always learning!
So much Amphenol in the IT gear I've worked with over the years, almost every machine of decent quality had a connector made by that company.
As a carpenter - much of this machining goes way beyond what I do but the ethic and principals you covered are universal. Many of my tools are German, their engineering is amazing and to see us doing this caliber of work here is reassuring. The joy and passion for your work will carry you through a long and successful career.
The most important section of this video for me was your emphasis on the packaging and protection of the parts and pieces. The average person will never know the effort that went into the production but they will 100% understand the care in the packaging. Thank you Titans!
I love seeing such positivity and respect in an industry that used to be and "Old boys" club that shyed away from positive reinforcement..
I was filled with Joy and amazement watching.
Learning you use funds to educate the next ones coming up.
We all start at the bottom. You are all a blessing to humanity..
Thank you!!!
I love what you guys are doing. Growing up in a world of outsourced junk, I always thought it would be impossible to bring back manufacturing. Seeing these videos gives me hope that we can take back our pride in making quality products. Keep it up!
“a world of outsourced junk"? I do not believe the bosses of all levels are stupid. The latest news says US is going to outsource military ships built and maintained overseas.
Bringing back manufacturing is easy said than done. Nobody hates profit and that's the drive of capitalism.
This warms my heart to see these shops in the USA doing such good work. I was a design engineer my entire carrier and worked closely with shops in house and out of house. I was saddened when the push came to go overseas. I used all my influence to keep it here. I told the bean counters to put their eyes on the bigger picture for our nation, but they were greedy. Their greed hurt our nation immensely. Also you get what you pay for. A decision to save money actually cost us dearly as the time and energy needed to deal with useless parts. Keep up these videos, they are a great testimony of what really makes America strong and productive.
Yep ,those problems arose right away,, and mutiple companies kept jumping on that band wagon of greed!, ruined the middle class workers choices of employment ...
Awesome shop tours! I love the passion, excitement, and drive that Jayce shows. You can tell he has a very bright future ahead of him in this industry!
The smaller shops you visit remind me of Lakota Racing in Carrollton OH. They are a small machine shop that work on small high output motors for Garden tractors and other small equipment. We’ve taken our motors there for over 10 years and everytime I’m up there I visit my buddy Ross in the shop watching their cnc machines. Coming from a carpenter with our cncs it makes watching his that much more interesting. Quite a few machines they have packed into a very small shop with a high output
Titan, thanks for sharing these shops with us. Hearing the owners/managers and crew talk is so great to hear how they have found their calling and been able to work through the highs and lows and to be rewarded in the end with prospering shops, careers and employees. Keep up the awesome work Titan and thanks for being an inspiration to me and to everyone around you.
🤜💥BOOM
Really a great video! Thanks so much for visiting shops in Arizona! During the last 6-8 months I’ve been looking to find employment here in the east valley of Phoenix in the manufacturing industry. I think probably my age has something to do with not being offered employment at most companies I’ve applied. I was involved in machining for 50 years and had the opportunities to work for many companies that were leaders in their product lines. I’ve been retired for about 7 years and really miss the smell of cutting oils and the rumble of the machinery making chips. Most of all I miss the hands on adjustments of the machines and the satisfaction of making something for the customer. I would enjoy working nights, but it’s very hard to find a position for me at this time. BUT I won’t give up exploring the many opportunities here in the valley of the sun! Thanks again for a REALLY super and interesting video!!!!
Loved the tour! Very cool to see behind the doors of the massive companies as well as the smaller shops. Great people excited for manufacturing!
FYI, DIgiKey lists over 600,000 different Amphenol connector items. They're in your computer, car, space station, CAT D10, even your electric guitar. Thanks for the tours and the video.
Dayum.
This may not be a huge deal to some people, but the fact that there is a guy there with more artwork on his skin than in an art museum, to me is just awesome!!
The fact that such a prestigious company can overlook how someone "looks", and employ them based upon their skills, says a lot to me.
I understand not everyone likes tattoos, and has their opinions on them.
Some may think it's not "professional" of that guy, and or the company to allow it.
It's perfectly fine if anyone disagrees with me.
Place your comments in the space provided for you to say so.
I'm talking about the machine shop they went to first, Amphenol.
I work with that guy. One of the best people I’ve gotten a chance to meet. That’s why you never judge a book by its cover.
@@benjaminharrel3518 that's awesome!! The fact that 20 or so years ago, this, a person having tattoos like that would have been a huge deal.
If I owned a company of any kind, I would definitely hire people for their knowledge and skill, and not based upon what they look like!!!
@@ericwilliams538 it's never really been an issue in manufacturing. Most jobs that had issue's with it involved customer service
Outstanding “shop tour” Titan! I love these. Sooooo inspiring 👊💥! Genesis Precision was awesome! Kudos to Jon and Vonnie 💪!
Titans the man! Thank you for showing other great people working hard! God bless y'all!
More shop tours Please 🙏. Great work titan like always, I'm a long time subscriber and it's been a great experience growing my business while watching your videos for many years 😀
Nice video. I like seeing Titan out there interacting with the people that he knows best and is working hard to help out. Titan's message is sound and clear.
This video was very very enjoyable to watch. It is encouraging to me and many others to see the small shops making it. Gets that fire lit in me. THANK YOU Titan!
I enjoy watching the machining videos. This one is next level. The man that goes out on his own will truly experience life. Leaving a known company, to make your own mark in this world, is what makes this country great. Don't die wondering.
Best thing Ive ever done was go on my own,, no commuting,, work whatever hours I want,, pick and chose my customers I WANT to interact with ,,and I keep pushing the levels of what I want to build.....satisfying,,,,,,
Great tours! Love seeing the manufacturing from small to big; making a difference no matter the size!
That’s so cool, I’ve been using Amphenol products since the mid 90’s. Had no idea they were that large of a company. Titan thanks for bringing us these cool behind the closed door tours. Much love and gratitude my brother. 💥🙏❤️
I'm into diy audio hobby a little and amphenol makes some good quality products. I had no idea they were that big!
I just retired but if i was in my 20s or 30s I'd definitely be heading to Arizona to talk to these guys. Love Arizona!!
Amazing huge shops!
Hearing their journey and seeing them starting out with just a few machines like us. Gives us a feeling of hope if we choose to go that big one day!
Blows my mind!
I used to live right down the road from Amphenol but had absolutely no idea that they existed. I run the Machine Shop for NAU now up in Flagstaff while I am finishing my Master's / PhD in Mechanical Engineering. It is a smaller shop but I get to run a lot of first iteration parts for the capstone students and it has really helped me realized how much I love the manufacturing side of engineering. I might see if they need some Manufacturing Engineers at Amphenol when I am done with my degree. If you find yourself in northern Arizona, you should visit our shop as well. As it is a school-based shop, I would have to get the go ahead from the Mechanical Engineering department to give a tour but I doubt that would be difficult.
This industry is full of opportunities. Back in 2007, I had the pleasure of working with John at Lincoln Laser. John was one of the most influential people in my young machining career, he taugh me many principles that I teach to my young machinists. Now, I am an engineer at that very Amphenol Aerospace.
It's not only about providing for our families, but glorifying God in the work we do. I loved to see the Bible verses on the wall at Genesis. All your videos are awesome and the passion everyone has for the trade is very inspiring. Keep up the great work guys!
Love what you do. Keep it up!
Arizona boy here. Well, I'm really a retired old man now but, I don't know how I missed this video earlier.
Good to know you were in town.
I ran a one-man custom auto interior shop for over thirty years. I had to learn CNC milling and lathe work because alot of the vintage automobiles I worked on were hard to find replacement parts for, and having someone else fabricate them for me was crazy expensive.
I had to learn G-Code and milling in general on my mill, lathe or my 3D printers. It was learning through trial and error; mostly error.
I sold my machines after retiring because I thought I wouldn't be needing them anymore. Boy was I wrong.
Now I'm looking to get some desktop CNC machines just to have on hand.
It's just not only being a self employed cnc machinist to struggle or to gain. Being self employed is a challenge on it's own. No matter what business you're in. Best! Job
I follow auction companies , and its like a arrow through the heart every time I see a machine shop go out !
Productivity and efficiency, baby! BOOM!! Loved the factory tour, Mr.Titan!
Titans of CNC i love your videos! Always spreading the passsion and the knoledge of being a machinist. I am a qualified Turner Machinist in South africa, pretty fresh to be honest. And last year in January i got the opportunity in to work on a CNC milling machine and on a CNC horizontal Lathe. Unfortunatly theres no one on the workshop that is specialized in CNC machining. So i had to learn by my own. And your videos helped me out a lot! I still got toooooo much to learn but i hope one day to be on the level that you guys are at the moment! Best of regards!
Such a great video. I really enjoyed seeing Genesis Precision’s shop .
Love to see those amazing CNC machine shop boom
Absolutely
your video motivate everyone machinist...
Great stories! Lots of opportunity in this field, love it!
I loved seeing the Bridgeport, I used to work for True Trace and we were owned by Bridgeport and
also Textron.
I worked in machining for 25 years really loved doing that, would still be working at it, if I could find a shop that would have hired me.
I was more into making fixtures and jigs for the shop, called a tool maker.
I also worked at a local College teaching machining technology for 12 years
Please help me one job at your company
Awesome tour! love these videos
We need more shows like this!
My company in Florida is less than 20 people. Mainly circuit boards and surge protection, but we've been expanding with mills and laser cutters and 3D printing. Great video!
I can relate to Rob. My boss would say I don't have to work at home. Commissioning a process facility is not an easy job. For me it was fun. I could never turn that switch off. Even after 4 years there was always something to improve. How about a facility in Lake Havasu. Commercial property at the airport. 19 miles from I40. The condition of the facility. The work stations. I can tell Rob is passionate about process and environment.
I dont think about it when i get home..you tend to over think it. The answer usually wakes you up in the middle of the night, then you just cant wait to get back it in the morning..Its called workaholism. Not a disease,but a passion. I love this stuff.
I used to work at Mazak UK in Worcester and ever since I left to become a HGV driver I regret that career change as I had an accident causing my lower back to be fused together.
If I had never decided to change career my back I'm sure would still be OK to this day.
I loved making intricate parts and making new programmes to cut production times down etc.
To all the people thinking of engineering as a career I would recommend it as it is a fantastic industry to be part of and the job satisfaction is awesome.
One of the best projects my team were involved in was making a clog for Nike in Holland to show them what our machines were capable of, we found out secretly through someone the size of the visiting director was and made a clog out of aluminium with the Nike emblem on which he thought was absolutely brilliant 😂🎉
What you showed was good enough. That was very interesting to see Amphenol aerospace and what it's like to work there.
very cool Titan, thanks for the vid!
I lived in Phoenix Az. for almost 20 years and purchased from a variety of machine shops in the valley and I've never heard of these guys. One thing is for sure if you're a big shop you must keep lotts work running through it to keep the doors open. In tough times heads roll and equipment is idle. Smaller shops tended to be more flexible with very low overheads and usually survived economic down swings.
I have worked on 2 CNC machine and I thought that I have the world after watching Amphenol company I was shocked baby , that's will push me up to have a more of a CNC machines
Serving in the Air Force Amphenol was a household name. Great to see the story of American Made! Thanks for bringing it.
Outstanding contribution is achieved in all facets of manufacturing, Titan 666K subs the number of the beast & Titans are the BEAST of sharing of fantastic industry processes,,,BOOM,,,
Glorious brothers, truly glorious.
It is such an amazing efffort what Titan Gilroy makes or this community and industry! Collabortion, helping each other makes everyone stronger. Such an amazing person! Boom!
I grew up in Wi. In the 60’s worked at Kearney and Trecker birthplace of CNC milling machines!Best place I ever worked,QUALITY ALWAYS NUMBER ONE! Machine shop of the WORLD! All gone now Exported to every corner of the World ,along with the skilled workers! Glad to see it is still thriving in some areas of AMERICA!
This is awesome to watch!
Great to see Jon's shop promoted!
Very inspiring to see folks doing what they love. Have thought about this as a profession a few times but where would one start being in the Midwest? Appreciate the video!
As a teenagerI worked in a machine shop in the 70’s. Used Bridgeports and South Bend lathes - all manual piece work. Have to say one of the best jobs I’ve ever had.
Most of those bridgeports are probably still going lol every machine shop need a old one on the corner wouldn't be the same without them
Honestly, if I had a choice to work in a large company or a small workshop, I would definitely choose the small workshop. The atmosphere there is similar to that of home and family. By the way, nice to see your workshop Mr. John. Finally I saw you in a video. Keep working, my friend. You can achieve a lot BOOM 💥
You learn the most in smaller shops :D more freedom , no serial parts always hot jobs and 1 up to 5 piece sets.
I would never work in a big automated company where you're only allowed to press start.
@@Shockz_BE
Exactly brother 💯 💯 💯
In a small company there is much more responibility resting at each worker. 1 worker doing something wrong, it can affect the economy of the company to a muh larger degree than in a big company. Some like better to work in big companies, other in small. Pluss and minuses with both
Amphenol has been around forever, famous in electronics. Been using their stuff since the 80's.
If you've ever worked on an aircraft you've probably used their connectors.
We used a lot of Amphenol MIL circular connectors building satellite ground stations in the 60s.
💌 all but the 2nd story touched my heart
i work at GF Machining Solutions Switzerland and we were just building a machine for Amphenol the last weeks :)
Love those Amphenol metal connectors, we use a lot in our products. You cannot go wrong with Amphenol connectors
I've used Amphenol connectors for 15+ years in the R&D.
Truly inspiring
Great news🎉 I did R&D back in the day but most of New England lost most of the work. AWSOME !
Nice to see the large shop with air scrubbers. I wish all shops would do this. Once you work in a shop with cleaned air it's hard to go back!
been in business for a LOOOONG time. when phenolic resins were a popular choice of plastic...
making components, not the end product.
RCA, GE, along with countless others that specialised in end products have flourished and fallen...
but keep making those lil plastic thingies they ALL need regardless?
someone is always going to be willing to pay.
amazing when you look around you and see that nearly every item in view has some connection to this plant...
"connection" being the key word ;)
Way to go Rob L & Sean Z!! Nice job!
Arizona is amazing. I’ve got multiple other shops for you to check out for next time! We are GETTING IT DONE in the Sunshine State!
I know of Amphenol from their vacuum tube sockets and electrical connectors, I had no idea they were a huge company that makes so many different things.
Same. Thought it was just another Chinese operation.
Wow I work in the area. Never heard of these shops !!!
Love the first story. It's inspiring. I work at a 2-man job shop. I'm in talks with the owner to acquire the business. He's retired and inherited it from his father. He doesn't need it or really what it.... I have plans big plans for me. They can completely change my life.
Awesome!
Love it, tenx ❤️❤️✌️
Thanks for showing this makes me even prouder to be an American
I worked for a company that manufactured parts for Amphenol there tolerances are insane for even basic pieces.
I wish i had time to come to the academy. I have had so many late nights researching work before I go back into work just to try and make a difference and upgrade my knowledge and skills.
Keep it up!💪 When we don't have the perfect amount of time, we must use the amount of time we do have, perfectly!🤙
I'm not sure I'd ever want to work for a HUGE shop. I like the fact that the owner of the shop knows me and asks my thoughts/opinions on how things are going. At some point that connection is just lost.
Holy sheet, I'm about to move to Arizona.
I think of Amphenol military electrical connectors.
There was/is another company named Cannon that make same connectors.
They are military standard, so others probably make too.
Wow I live in Mesa and had no idea these cool people are my neighbors.
I thought it was weird when guys were coming up for pictures with him but then i remembered he technically got me into machining in the first place hahaha
Wow! Ten employees, that'll really help turn things around.
Cool, we make some of the raw circuit boards that Amphenol uses at their aerospace and defense section.
Thanks for bringing up the importance of packaging! We've had a lot of scrap delivered to us over the years, just because parts bumped into each other during transport or had too little protection. Dedicated video?
Yup, how the product is delivered is big for branding.
Ever go to a watch factory that seems pretty tough doing miniature stuff
Boom, YOU ROCK!
Did you guys stop by Taig Tools while in Chandler? They make great desktop mills and lathes that fit in a hobbyist budget. No better way to get into CNC than to put a machine in your garage and get learning!
I love this..
Was Amphenal once AMP?In mid to late 80s and 90s i built injection molds for them,tslk about precision, serious amount of grinding
God damn that’s a lot of machines
Have you heard of Marton precision manufacturing? In Fullerton CA.
Wow, last time I drove past where Amphenol is located, it was just an empty field!
Titan goes around to shops given them the final blessing from the cnc gods....its final when he says "boom" "uhhhh"
Amphenol i like is its cable and guitar plug 😂
It's the same here in the UK, we have lost so much of our manufacturing to the Far East, glad there are some fighting back.
Today i finally let go to rest my KOR5 from Kennametal for steel... After half a year of work xd MY GOD THOSE TOOLS ARE INSANE Xd
There are two paths in manufacturing:
1) Work at a company your entire career and MAYBE make enough of a living to support your family
2) Work at a few different companies, retain as much knowledge as possible and start your own company and pay yourself what you are truly worth as a person for your skills and ideas, not as a number in a system.
The manufacturing world breeds a lot of brilliance and drive but also a lot of complacency. Entrepreneurship is not for everyone, but when you know that you're different from the pack and know that you're really a leader, do not waste the opportunity to go out on your own. It is possible and it can be done. Do not be discouraged if people (managers) laugh in your face. Use it to live your dream.
