You're absolutely right. Most of the videos on youtube are demos and with new machines. In the company I work(have worked for 3 years now) most machines that run coolant and cut metal, have most paint removed by flying chips and are very dirty. Every single vice has some sort of accidental cut marks, all made mostly by 1 person. Personally I never hurry so in 3 years I've had no accidents except for a few feed mishaps and tool breakage as a result.
_That blue helical grinding wheel is gorgeous!!_ _I wish we had a better view of it being dressed by the diamond wheel, because I'm uncertain about how the two wheels contact one another._
The dressing wheel is special and you have to change it with changing alpha n on your gear. the conical side dresses the flank in one pass. If fh alpha are not in spec you can rotate the dressing arround its pivot axis to fix the contact path of wheel. The od is used to dress the od on the wheel and the straight edge is used to dress the profile wheel. When roughing while PG you spin your dressing wheel the other way arround and you can get good matarial removal and rough surface. Greetings from germany and sorry for the bad english
What annoys me is that these mfgr's always show an immaculately clean machine "air cutting" an already finished part, PHOOEY! Show me the real deal, show me chips n sparks, n cutting fluids!
These videos always show the machine in a nice, clean & shiny condition. The truth is far different. After a few months in a real shop, these things look like hell. Oil, grease, & chips cover every surface. After a few years, most of the paint is gone, everything is dented from wrecks and careless operators.
all engineers love to touch freshly machined part - just to check there are no 'arridges' as we used to say when West Yorkshire had an engineering industry.
TubbyTimmy the machine guides the operator through the setup process and prompts many selections to make life easier so many of our customers have started from scratch with the right Service Support - nevertheless it always helps to have an experienced operator to make high quality gears.
We just had a real doozy last night. The operator failed to verify the length of a new boring bar and the length of the rough stock...it hit the part in rapid advance and ripped the part right out of the chuck. It spider webbed the safety glass and dented the door. All the new tooling and gripper jaws, also freshly made, were scrapped. It was about a $10,000 wreck. They let him go this morning. Good riddance. This was the third or fourth incident.
So this is where terminators are made. and another interesting thought. the parts for this machine was made by another machine, that was made by another machine, that was made by another machine that was made by a worker called Frank..
One thing we would witness by that is the lack of smooth contamination flow that is evident with this otherwise excellent machine. Many open wire carriers and slideways on the wheel change mechanism.
Nice! Perfect! You can build a whole tanker while you sit home n have a beer n watch the game n click the print button ¿or maybe you are on the unemployment line coz some shiny robot machine just got u fired! Nice future!Perfect! let the botz take over!
***** Thank you for your kind remark. It is an interesting idea, but the double spindle concept allows for a much better use by combining roughing tools with finishing tools in one combined process. The Gleason OptiGrind Process provides a faster roughing cycle with higher material removal rate and a faster and more precise finishing cycle while minimizing the risk of grinding burn. Since the roughing and finishing cycles are separate you can have the best of both worlds with the positive characteristics of both processes but without the negative limitations of either process. It is like driving with all weather tires throughout the year - you can never exploit the full potential of your car. We drive with 2 types of tires and the change is really fast and easy!
Ah, alright. Thank You for your answer. At the time i commented on this video i was in the early stages of my interest in engineering, so i was kind of inexperienced :) Still an awesome machine! I hope to work with one one day.
pcb1962 It is a grinding machine - it does grind precut parts to very high quality levels which are required in specific applications like wind power turbine transmissions or marine transmissions.
One mistake? Did you read my comment? It was the third or fourth accident, which was a total loss of about $120,000. Yeah, you get fired for that kind of fuck up. Please read the comment all the way through next time, okay?
Woah woah woah chill out... No need to be a jerk. I just work in a high production shop and we try to make sure that we idiot proof everything so it surprised me. Good lord relax.
I hate these hospital clean, non-cutting demos. Nothing like seeing the thing in real action. Nice machine though. Looks very well built. I want to see cutting oil flying, sparks shooting, and chips bouncing!

Gleason has always been a premium machine tool. Glad they're still around after so many years!
I love these machines, Gleason is solid-state-perfection.

Great explanation! Your language skills are very impressive!@@Vincemaan

+Mike Folgers amen!! I noticed they were cutting air too!!, WHY?? it's supposed to be a 'demo' NOT a 'dummy_run' use coolant and TOUCH stuff PLEASE!!
With coolant spraying u wouldn't see nothing , as a old school machinist thats sweet af
Good to see a video like this that isn't backed by some god-awful, obnoxious music, though I I'm still not sure how I got here from watching hamsters.

Absolutely beautiful
Gear is a great invention of the World with out Gear Life is incomplete
Hafeez Gill - we think so too :-)
+Hafeez Gill - We agree! :-)
Nice development in gear manufacturing.
Gleason Rules !
Would have been better with a audio, commentary. Than just a subtitles, apart from that it was a very good.
all engineers love to touch freshly machined part - just to check there are no 'arridges' as we used to say when West Yorkshire had an engineering industry.
I'm guessing there is a long learning curve for operating this sort of machine.

its so cute, i want one of my own, Dear Santa!
On a huge machine.
nice machine
Good
Now that weve shipped most of our used machine mill's to China its time for us to build new ones.
So this is where terminators are made. and another interesting thought. the parts for this machine was made by another machine, that was made by another machine, that was made by another machine that was made by a worker called Frank..
How much does it cost of this machine ?
If I had enough money to buy that machine I would fly to Aruba and drink pina coladas for the rest of my life.
Красота!!!
Excellent.
What is that huge gear going on?
so awesome
Eyes,very good.
I like to view machining of gear. Grinding need more accuracy than turning. Your machine is great if the cost is less.
One mistake and you fire the person?
One thing we would witness by that is the lack of smooth contamination flow that is evident with this otherwise excellent machine. Many open wire carriers and slideways on the wheel change mechanism.
nice one
Maybe a sound-bite?
Nice! Perfect! You can build a whole tanker while you sit home n have a beer n watch the game n click the print button
¿or maybe you are on the unemployment line coz some shiny robot machine just got u fired!
Nice future!Perfect! let the botz take over!
a slide with two slots for the new tool and the old tool in one would be a lot faster though.. i hope you guys are in fact reading this

Wonder what happens if someone stuffs up the g-code.
Damage costing from 5 to 6 digits figure.
il y a pas de son :(
no son ?
класс!
Would be nice to see it cutting a blank, not just polishing up a finished part
I don't think the machine is meant to cut, just grind an already semi-finished part.

***** Thanks, I see that now, I thought the same machine had previously cut the gear
you know what really grinds my gears?
Да,прогресс на месте не стоит...
Wow ,
I only wish youtube was'nt so slow
Gostava de ter uma máquina que fizesse carretos assim
Don't you dare. Your fingerprints will ruin its perfection.
Its my bike sprocket.
No audio...next!!
So, how many pizza's does this thing make???

[insert witty "you could clean it" comment here]
I want to touch and caress the shining object
Who is now redundant...
Woah woah woah chill out... No need to be a jerk. I just work in a high production shop and we try to make sure that we idiot proof everything so it surprised me. Good lord relax.
Dear santa.......
showww..
that's what she said!!! lmao
I will sell my byke to buy this toy
youtube.

lame.
