    I used to run a Stanko mill at work a few years back, one day while running it there was a massive bang and you could hear bits raining down from the top end of the mill down into the base, obviously I hit the E-Stop, we pulled that machine apart and could only find what looked to be the remnants of a gear, we had no clue where it came from or what it did but it ran exactly the same after the bang as it did before, she was accurate too for an old girl. It still amazes me how Russia put a man in space with the quirky way some of these mills are designed, our maintenance guy had to re-learn everything to support the running of all the Russian machines, when asked what was wrong with a machine his favourite saying was "sh1t on the contacts" so I asked him "how often do I have to do that then?"

    Hello from Latvia! I have same factory machine: Stanko 6T12. Those machines are build by Gorky Milling Machine Plant. And get imported by Stankoimport worldwide. I still have dream to get one of 6T82W or 6T83W. In ex-USSR countrys this machine model is 6T83Ш (Sh). The "W" or "Ш" (Sh) in machine model means "Wide universal". I have bad experience with the automatic control in 38:20 - after I jerk few of those switches, and somewhere in circuit lost conection and that was cause of machine malfunction. Problem was: malfunction in table feeds switching ON. I call for electrian engineer and he demounted that system.
    Good luck with machine repairs!

    I always liked the concept of the Vertical/Horizontal combination Milling machine. It also appears that there has been no fuckery involved with the wiring in the control cabinet...A nice bonus me thinks. Obtaining the original Commie technical paperwork for the machine in English is pure good luck. It is so nice to have drawings and explanations of how systems work. Olga is a Russian beauty and her pin bosses are a long way from hitting the rollers!. Cheers matey.

    Hi Max. Super view to a massive construct. The documents with type of steel used, amazing as you managed to find them. *As all the critical dimensions and diagrams. Also, the lever position as control feature. *settings to end use. I am guessing the work dimensions as large, and where the operator skilled at set up could manage large work smoothly. Fast, large cuts as process.
    Truly, Max, your shop is taking shape and I am delighted to have the chance to learn about this machine. Thanks for that view by your hand. M.

      They also made "Red Proletarian" lathes...lmao. Jokes aside all of the Soviet sympathizer Bulgarian mills I worked on were really great machines with all the capabilities one would expect out of a universal mill (they also made quill versions of it for lighter milling and drilling), and it had tons of provisions to facilitate dissasembly and speed up repairs (eg all blindly mounted bearings in the vertical attachment I rebuilt have threaded through holes behind their mounting shoulders to remove with screws from the back)

    Max, you have no idea how good the timing is on this video. I recently got a new to me mill with a very similar layout and the ram is also very hard to move. I will be looking for stray swarf as the first thing that may be wrong with it. It's a lovely old Italian mill of 1966 vintage, ex university, without much use, but came with all the accessories, full dividing head, rotary table, slotting attachment, etc. I have never come across the make before, Ingers if anyone knows of them. I'd already decided she would be called Sophia.

    I'm going to enjoy this series on Olga. The guy I bought my HBM from has this same mill and from the outside at least it appears to be in great shape. I was wondering if the delay in turning off the feed motor has something to do with the automatic feed cycle system. When in automatic mode it is going to stop the feed say on the x axis, engage the y-axis feed, shift the table over, disengaged the y-axis, re-engage the x-axis in the opposite direction for the return cut etc. Having the feed motor turn off every time it tries to change axis/direction would probably cause problems. The z-axis turns off instantly, but this may be because it is not controlled by the automatic cycle system. Anyway it looks like you got a winner and I'm looking forward to see it make some swarf. Ken

    • @swanvalleymachineshop
      @swanvalleymachineshop  Год назад

    Nice machine Max. I just wanted to comment on the wire bundle "string". It's very common in aviation to tie wire bundles together like that. It's much cheaper and more importantly much much lighter than using regular (Adel) clamps or even Zip ties. If you ever need to replace any of it just look for "wax lacing cord."

    It is interesting to think how a milling machine of such origin came into your hands? to Australia? Since I am a neighbor of Russia, this amazes me, because I have only seen a few benches for sale in my country for many years. But before long, I became the owner of a similar milling machine a few months ago, which is its predecessor 6Р82Ш. At the moment I am busy with cleaning and disassembly to identify errors that need immediate elimination. What's particularly interesting about this is that if you ever get to a vertical spindle angle reducer, I assume you'll have to replace the old grease with something as well. But it is not easy to find a replacement grease that is suitable for both spindle bearings and gears.

    If the company that purchased the machine new is like the company I worked for, they filed the manuals away somewhere and completely forgot about them. When we had to work on them we would ask if they had any manuals and they always said they didn't. One day they decided they wanted to move a cabinet so we started pulling things out to lighten the weight and found all of the manuals for forklifts and equipment were in that cabinet.

    The delay on the spindle stopping when using the front controller, I think, might indicate that the brake function switching is not operating when initiated by the front switch either the switch or the wiring to the switch. ? the side switch and the front switch I would think would be a parallel switching function. If it is a single switch operation from the side controller, it is either operating multiple relays, or more likely switching a common ground. Would like to see a circuit diagram of the controller, this from a retired tech who can’t let go.

    • @swanvalleymachineshop
      @swanvalleymachineshop  Год назад

      The delay is with the feed motor staying on a few seconds after stopping the feed , only on the x & y axis . The feed stops instant but the motor stays on for a few seconds . Problem not present with the Z axis feeds . It happens on both control panels . Cheers 👍

      happening on both control panels puts a different light on the problem, the motor braking I would think would be mechanical (clutch type) with a machine of that vintage, certainly, a problem to track down and enjoy the process doing so , the control circuit diagrams will be crucial in the diagnostic of the fault.

    Majstore moj veliki pozdrav za vaše predavanje koje je slikovito i jasno da li možete prikazati glodalicu Stankoimport 6P83W proizvodnje USSR, i tako opširno prikazati nam rukovanje sa njom. Puno vas pozdravljam i veliki pozdrav iz republike Hrvatske. Petar.

    If only everything else in this world was built this well….built to last. Seems like everything today from cars, trucks, household appliances, etc…are built to last but only a few years. Then you have buy replacement parts or replace the whole machine because the repair cost exceeds the replacement cost.

    I used a Stanko vertical knee mill in 1978 in my first year as an apprentice, big step up, literally ( it had a step to reach the drawbar), from the mill I used at school.
    The company had several Stanko machines of different types, they had sold Brake shoe resistance welders (Welded the web to the platform), several years earlier, and since soviet Russia couldn't trade on the open market, so "Factoring" was needed, ref paid in part with milling machines.
    I think the term "A dog with 2 dicks" is apt here Max, ref too many machines to enjoy.
    Some of the early Soviet and east German machines had poor quality plastics, ref difficult to source modern materials, but definitely great engineering 👍 .
    Good useful machine 👍.
    Thanks for sharing

    The USSR was desperate for hard Western currency. These machine tools (Stanko and others) cost about half that of western machine tools.

    I’m really surprised at the quality that was engineered into this machine. Always thought that thoughtful long lasting was a forgotten experience in the USSR. Obviously you did your homework before acquiring this workhorse.

      @@swanvalleymachineshop There is not such thing as "the Russian export machines" quality. As there is not "USA export machines" quality. Or Chinese, by the way.
      Some companies or factories are making a good quality product, some not. Some USA-made product is a crap, some Chinese product is of the excellent quality. Of course all except quality of the USA and Russian cars - they are all crap, USA car crap is just bigger in size.

      USSR was a federation of15 socialist independent republics, so technically you are wrong since only one of them was your motherland. Also, the USSR doesn't exist anymore.
