A lot of people don't know how big mills can get, I worked in a shop that did huge machining projects, we had a couple mills with over 40 feet in X, 20 in Y and 13 in Z, it was so big that the operator station rides on the spindle head, so they can observe the spindle at all times, it could turn a 1.5 _foot_ diameter face mill and had 150 HP. Big mills are pretty cool!
@@joshua_J It's definitely another world of machining, I spent some time in the cab but not a whole lot, I was the chief QC inspector and had to do a few "ride-alongs" lol, verifying tool paths and such and occasionally helping troubleshoot machine issues, it's a pretty unique experience. The first time you get in one and all of a sudden the floor jerks out sideways under you when it rapids in X is a pretty novel sensation😅. It's also a whole different world of setup, having to crane parts in and level and square them with 1" or even 2" thread jacks is very interesting, there's no such thing as a vice in machines that big, just clamps and gravity. Some parts were big and heavy enough that you could get away with barely clamping them down, gravity did most of the work of keeping the part rigid. A lot of the work I did was verifying feature accuracy with a laser tracker, which sometimes had to be done in multiple orientations to make sure the parts weren't sagging in their intended orientation axis, we had a few parts (like a gantry body for a Boeing 5-axis carbon fiber tape layer) that had to be machined on their side then set upright on blocks with a 10k lb weight on top (to simulate the tape layer head) to verify certain rails weren't sagging out of tolerance. It's definitely the kind of work the average machinist doesn't even know exists, I feel grateful for the experience since it changed my perspective on how much work goes into large machined parts, some of the parts we worked on took several weeks to finish a single one, not including the manufacturing of the actual weldment before machining, it can get seriously complicated...
@@TheExplosiveGuy very true very true To have a daily life around such wonderfully large machines that make pieces for Vestas and Siemens wind turbines. You also have to think about the temperature at which the objects move when the temperature changes so you have to compensate for that too
My company did that bought a huge lathe that had a 6 ft diameter chuck 720 inches long to turn 3 parts for one job. Then they turned around and sold it.
@@wendull811yep , some companies will look everywhere to make an impossible part and pay out the ass so much infact you buy a machine just for a couple of the parts and sell it when done as you said. This is common in aerospace, this one company bought this special Swiss to make millions of one part because it would cut the cycle time down from a a couple months to a couple weeks to meet that timeframe.
TOS and ŠKODA Machine Tools in Czech republic making these types of CNCs :) biggiest machines i ever seen in my life :D the operator has his own cabin, which is fully controllable, and the ŠKODA company has existed for more than a hundred years, and TOS is also pretty old :D
There are many machines out there much bigger for machining aerospace and marine molds, but those are typically routers where the head moves back and forth rather than a mill where the bed moves
I work as a engineer at an aerospace shop. We have 3 spindle gantry machines with 120’ beds. The spindles are on 40” centers so they can make huge parts 3 at a time
I'm worked with two MTE's and can say.... TOS,Skoda,SHW are better Machines. Also there are Pama and FPT who are really good. But it is only my opinion. I hope you visit more Companys the Video was great.
MTE quality: Machine arrived in winter, all the ways were covered with rust, under their rust protecting VCI "paper". The installers used WD40 and emery cloth to scrub the rust away on the X,Y and Z ways. After a month or so the table(X) ballscrew came loose, imagine my surprise when the whole 4meter table was jerked to the right when the "porcupine cutter" rounded the corner to go X-. The Heidenhain controller did NOT E-stop the machine, you would think a jump like that would trigger a position error. There was a wierd sound when going Y+, close to the end stops, as in every tool change. Sometimes it just randomly E-stopped with a Y-axis overload, even when idle. The tech who came did not like the sound and tore out the Y-axis ball screw... He found the offset between the bearings on the screw and the ball nut was way off, so it was bending the end bearing and nut when they got close and made a "klonk" sound. Those are a few of the problems we had.
I am working on a FBF-M 10000 it is a inkredebel Maschine!! Endless Power!! In our Company we have also a FBF-M 8000 of the new Generation and this is also a pretty good Maschine! I love working on this Maschine we a building everything on this Maschine! Nice too see the way the Maschine is build!
The spar and wing panel mills used to make the 747 and 777 are around 100' long, been around for a while and they are amazing to see in use. 100HP spindles, if I remember correctly. They use really deep concrete foundations (>10') to maintain a stable base.
Used to run a manual G&L floor mill had 20 foot of vertical and 50 foot of horizontal. Ran an old ass 1930's American lathe that was pushing 40 feet with a 6 foot swing. I always enjoyed running the big machines, anything smaller was hobby machines lol.
I got choked up when Tyson said in the end, some people are born to build, born to machine, born to create. That was such a powerful statement. Some of us look for meaning in our lives or a purpose. Buiding is a purpose, it can take away our fears and give us a purpose so we can get our of bed in the morning.
I had a boss in the first machine shop I worked at said, " it's like being an artist carving a statue, I start out with a block of material whittle away what's not necessary and I'm left with a piece of art". Kinda true.
I've worked on machines like these. One of them was a six-axis SHW uniforce 6, it was 5 meters long for the X axis and 2.5 meters for the Y axis, and the other was a powerful SKODA HCW2 boring machine which had 12 meters for the X axis and 6 meters for the Y axis, and it was possible to install an angular head giving another 2 axes.
I went to a auction in the 90's that had a Cincinnati profile gantry mill with 3 heads that had 3 axis and the table must had been 12" wide X 80' long.
I literally work on machines way bigger than those every day. You should look into mining and the equipment made for mining and how they are made. Then you'll see big CNC machines.
Had a double horizontal boring machine made by Cincinnati Milacron that was huge. I'm not sure of the exact dimensions, but it did have a 6' diameter rotary mill. Another made by Ingersoll where the entire machine would move down a track that ran the length of the building. I don't mean a moving bed. The entire machine would move to load stations. Also, a G&L that had a 30' turning bed. Cincinnati Milacron also was known for their triple spindle skin and spar mills that Boeing still uses to this day. Giant machines from the 1950's still making chips!
I operate a Colgar Program 210 in Ohio. Most people look at it and say NO. I love it. Company says they have a Soraluce FP 120 on order as a replacement. I cant wait!
@@vorlon123 I'm soory to dissapoint you but NAPOMAR from Cluj Napoca went broke. He could visit World Machinery Bacau. They make some badass machines, made on vertical lathe for Ariane 5 rocket. Here is an old video from them ruclips.net/video/E2mGN43DJN4/видео.html
Ran a shop years ago with 2 Bridge with 3 spindles that was 220' long from SNK. Parts were 118' long so good to see others seeing what some of has been around for years.
I used to run one of those - 5 Axis for Automotive tool and die - 10m long table . 400mm face mill - 10mm depth of cut, 8M x 6M tables with auto pallet changers
Titan,come and visit some factories in Italy too, there are many that build special machines: FPT industries near Venice, Carnaghi vertical turning monsters, Pama, and many others.
I used to work as a machinist at a company, that used to have THE first bed type milling machine MTE ever produced, from late 90´s I quess. At least that´s what they told me. The one I worked with, was BT-4200 series 3+2 axis machine.
Exactly Titan,this is really milling machines.I work on similar one.I have 6m tabe and tool moves with the Y and Z axis.Only down side is the machine is 40years old,but still make precission holes thanks to haidenhain measuring rulers.And my machine is made from Italy (Mecof).Otherwise great video,nice machines 🙂
I program 5 axis vertical mills that are 100 feet long (X) with 20 ft in Y and 8 feet of Z travel. As far as I know, these are among the largest 5 axis CNC mills in existence.
WoW. Watched this twice. Half my career was running large bars. The other half. A Millwright. Two large glasses of wine. I watched this over again. . . . Their Golden formula is found, by watching, LISTENING, starting at 16 minutes. Watch it. America has flushed the Golden Formula down the toilet. I'm 68. I would learn Spanish, Español, just to work for these folks. Re-take the trades in the USA.
Droop and Rein and Waldrich Siegen/ Coburg have the biggest mills. Have used a Droop and Rein for many years, incredible machine.built like a battleship and extremely accurate considering the size of it and the parts. never used MTE This looks like a good solid machine though.
Longest CNC machines with 100ft feed? No, that's clickbait. There are other companies that build them bigger. The Multicontour from Waldrich Coburg in Germany has a max feed of over 160ft. The Power Force 8000 from SHW has the same max feed. Fermat has machines in their program with 130ft feed. Schiess has also 160ft feed CNC machines in their program. Waldrich Siegen sells the biggest machine with 177ft feed length, max height of 39ft and a max width of 46ft called the Profimill 3.... And those are only milling machines. I don't know if there are CNC lathes that have a bigger volume like those that make those gigantic gear wheels or cam shafts for the big ocean liners. The CNC machines that build part for electric wind mills must be big, too.
We out 100+ as they have created a process to quote machines with no limits. Capable of 400 ft as with the great companies you mentioned… I have also done videos on.
I’ve heard the Boeing Co. has a long table Mill that machines Wing Spars in one piece. How does the operator keep track of the milling process…. …rude on it
Mazak actually has a facility you can watch making their own machines. THAT is crazy. Not trying to take away from this, but i have to put that out there.
I always used Barbal and Hamer Lasers for alignment. Didn't see even 1 laser there. Are the tolerances being maintained by the actual tolerances of the machine, or is it compensating in the program for any discrepancies in straightness ,squareness, etc.. You need to tell and show what it takes just to put in a proper foundation for these to sit on, and not to mention complete temperature and humidity control of the building !
I went to a local business that buys and sells mills, lathes and the like. They had a lathe for sale with a 40’ bed and a chuck that was 10’ across. You could spin a car on that beast
Looks like a new take on old Giddings and Lewis or Ikegai horizontal mill. Basically the same base structure with a much more modern spindle/ram motion system.
This video upsets me greatly, you see I am from the so called Great Britain, we make absolutely no machine tools in my country anymore, we are a backwards going nation of van drivers, so very sad.
Except for haas its not much different in the US. Haas imports castings from all over. Hardinge filed for ch 11. Fryer just imports, milltronics Imports, prototrak imports. Fives brings the big pieces in from eastern block. Bourne and Koch does build here. But we used to have Monarch Lodge and Shipley. K&t P&W Hardinge Bullard Cincinnati Fellows Bryant Heald Van. Norman G&e Fosdick Grey Leblond Burgmaster Sundstrand Rockford US Burke South bend Axelson Lucas G&l B& S Many many others
now you are talking about real monster machines very wonderful to work on but they are still not machines that have a working capacity of 100 tons they are the most fun machines to work on a great machine is Fermat WRF HEAVY One of the nice things about this type of machine is that you can change the head depending on what you need Many thanks Titan from showing big machines for once I love working on them
It would have been interesting to see the guys who scrape in all these machine components flat. Giant machines = giant headaches + giant responsibilities.
At work we have an OLD machine, and I do mean *old* , like 60/70'. The table is 35m long. Seeing this on modern machione is nice, but that's child's play lmao
The vertical turning machine i ran had a 6 meter table so a 6.5 meter horizontal mill isn't that impressive. I'm pretty sure our largest mill had a 60ft table.

Shin nippon koki also makes some pretty large mills.

It would have been interesting to see the guys who scrape in all these machine components flat.
Giant machines = giant headaches + giant responsibilities.
Look at Waldrich Coburg machines! They building bing mills and grinding machines
I am interested. How do they grind a surface of the table. Whant to see a grinding machine. 😊
Could only imagine how expensive a crash would be.
How long does it take to level a machine that long?? Also what kind of accuracy can be expected?
At work we have an OLD machine, and I do mean *old* , like 60/70'.
The table is 35m long.
Seeing this on modern machione is nice, but that's child's play lmao
TITAN!!! UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
The growth of this company is insane and i would like to say congratulations. But thats not the largest cnc .
The vertical turning machine i ran had a 6 meter table so a 6.5 meter horizontal mill isn't that impressive. I'm pretty sure our largest mill had a 60ft table.
Beard looks great
Thanks
How do these tables get shipped…?
I've had to machine wing spars on a VF11. Recently actually. It is certainly a challenge.
I work milling machine and lathe machine but CNC machine his computer programming very easy
With a machine that long do they offer a multi-head configuration? In other words having more than one spindle machining simultaneously?
I would be curious to know the tolerances of their biggest machines. I wonder how accurate something like isogrid or orthogrid has to be machined to.
Big monster
I am currently working on a Soraluce 8m machine it's all fun and games until you get a workpiece thats 7m+
So these are sorta modular tables, really cool size
