thats gotta be the coolest trophy I've ever seen

 

[Tmax]

cool. would have been cooler if they made something usefull. i guess they were demostrating the machine. anyone know the make and model?

 

[Tehaids]

Thats it, i need to get my dirtbike running again. That was just awsome.

 

[hardcoreoffrd]

Wonder what the price tag is on that thing???

UNREAL!

 

[Lone Ranger]

Holy crap. Thats all I can say. LR

Wow. That was amazing.

i worked a Heidenheim machine at the shop i was at in Sheffeild,Eng.,it was 5 axis like this one.it's hard to run a prog. like this in graphics,so your first cycle can be stressfull.i wonder how many bits they loaded up not using coolant.

 

[bcsavage]

definately cooler than the 3-axis HAAS POS's we use

And if your spindle speed, depth of cut and feed rate are spot on there is no need for coolant as all your heat is displaced in your chips and not the tool. I doubt they even had to change inserts during that whole cycle.

 

[rideonjon]

i doubt their surfacing with a holder big enough for inserts.looks like a BNEM to me prob. less than 1/8th.

heh first of all you machinist dudes are getting way to techincal and second of all that was rad! third what a waste! lol a 120kg block turned into a 3kg helmut wheres the other 117kgs of material removed, hopefully they also have a foundry nearby lol.

We are far from getting technical.... Yet

that's what recycling is for. Can't count the numbe of parts I've made that weigh less than 1/3rd of the original stock.

I wa referring more to the major roughing at the beginning. Looks like an insert endmill to me but she's spinning too fast to really tell. Have to rewatch it at home on a better computer.

 

[desteurm]

Looks like a 2 inch to rough with and vaarious ball nose cutters to finish the details. Impressive but hardly practical for heavy cuts.

I am sure that blows the crap out of my master cam. I have never run anything more than a 3 axis machine before.
