It iis saturday night, and I just spent 10 minutes watching a big piece of steel get very slowly squashed by other big bits of steel. I have no regrets.

This will be machined down after to make an Apple on/off button. It's why they cost a little more.

It's been two years since this video went up, and the piece of metal being pressed in the video is finally cool to the touch....

Idk how the flying fuck i got to this video, but this shits interesting

this is how nokia 3310 has made

There isn't a single serious discussion in these comments.

No wonder it took 'em so long to finish the Death Star... the forging is a slow process.

Awesome! I designed and sold to a client here in the Austin Texas area a 6 million pound calibration test stand. Only a couple of these in NA. 4 each of a 14" bore hydraulic cylinders rated for 10,000 PSIG. Works wonderfuly!

It's satisfying watching an immense peace of red-hot metal being handled by an even larger machine like it's making a photocopy. That's impressive precision for such extreme temperatures and mass.

For those of you not familiar with this process it is known as the Mc Qrish V-Plane Process. It is a tedious uneventful procedure to watch. Parametrically there is imbalance between y-function and x-function pertaining to space sequencing. However the differential sequence has shown to make up for those loses. The final result more than amplifies the net energy thermodynamic conservation factor by more than 10. In other words this is how they make some types of beer cans!

The amount of energy it takes to heat that piece of steel to red hot - yellow to the core. WOW

As a machinist I have to say that this is incredibly impressive. I would very much like to visit the plant in Seigen.

Super forgeage, merci !

I used to play with one like that as a kid... man the stuff we were pressing.. good ol days

I've never seen a lump of metal that size warp like that - seriously impressive stuff

the whole shift of workers deserves thank for cooperation

A new iron giant, very huge machines thanks for the video

i knew after watching (okay, skipping through) this video that the comments would not disappoint... and boy did they not disappoint!

huge dab left me hypnotized with this!

After eating Taco Bell it take's 13,000 Tons to forge a turd.

Can you imagine how much energy it took to get that car sized hunk of metal red hot...Amazing

Awesome and amazing piece of equipment there.

Such awesome squishing power!

That was just like watching paint dry or like watching a FORD RURT,SOLW & PAINFUL !

Amazing forces ..facinating to say the LEAST

wheres the video of them loading that massive piece of hot metal to the spindle

Wait a sec... I watched a blacksmith forging a nail to a rose, then I saw a guy making an anvil. I clicked on another vid showing a 10t hammer, from which I got to a 500t forging press making some tank stuff and now I am here. Incremental smithness I guess.

awesome press, biggest one i ever saw in person was 475tonnes, i didnt even expect that presses were made upto 13000 tonnes

All those giant chunks of scale falling off that... Wow.

I've seen something like this before on youtube. I think they are making a very large sword.

One word...Incredible.

I'd like to bring about two dozen smiths from various points in the past on a field trip to watch stuff like this as it happens.

frantic live action!

Some sort of background or context would have been nice-what are they making?I'm fascinated this was recommended to me.

very imPRESSive

“Bladesmiths! To your 13000 Ton large open die forge presses. Time begins....NOW!”

Yeah... but can it squash gummie bears?

Do you have any videos of paint drying? That might be more exciting to watch.

presiniz mükemmel kutlarım

awesome equipment..

Why is this so cool..?

Terrific video but to what does the figure of 13,000 tons apply? Plainly it cannot be the weight of forging itself, so is it the weight of the forging press or is it the pressure that the press can apply.

What are they making? Looks pretty serious. Is this piece for a charm bracelet - for a giant?

It would be nice to know whats going on, whats being made and why INFORMATION!!!

Amazing.

So...will there be any press release?

That's nice. Now let's smash some play-doh with it.

i'm impressed

I can do this in half the time with vise-grips™ and a shot of Arizona green tea™.

This us used for manufaturing Mechas and EVAs?

Anything BIG is interesting and thus shd always be made open to an audience.

so awesome

slightly more interesting than watching paint dry.

That beast has a set purr. Never seen anything as big as this, looks like it's cnc programed.... Ex employee of Firth Rixon metals, Glossop U/k..

Must be nice working there

I wonder how long that would take,to cool down all the way to the middle,week a month??

Awesome

How can I setup one of these in my garage?

what is it making?

Now lets see the forge that heated it! Must have been insanely hot, pretty much baking it at a low temeprature and rising slowly in order for the core of the rod to be an even heat as the outside?

What a big hydraulic forging press!!!

ADAMLARIN TEKNOLOJİSİ MÜKEMMEL KUTLARIM

what is the product used for?

That's lit

this is so nuts

that is just f en cool

I have the same exact model in my basement!

what are they going to do with that large piece of metal?

Is anyone going to hazard a guess as to the weight of that forging? 300tons? The manipulator is a machine and a half, too!

Chuck Norris needs a crown for a tooth.

ImPRESSive

looks like a giant beer mug in makeing! ;-)

That is one massive ass press... HOLY SHIT!

Is this how a Nokia 3310 is made?

They are making the Worlds Largest Steel Jolly Rancher!!!!

I bet you can feel the heat coming off that huge piece of iron

very cool, but what is the purpose of such massive piece of steel ?

mother of gawd ,it's so hot the pincers manipulating it are heating up to cherry red!

Welcum tu te hudrolik press channel.

I have one in my garage just like it......

_Where can I get one ?_

Could you explain the process and purpose of this particular works?

Drop it from space and into the ocean . Now , that's fun!

doesnot look like 13000 ton however i am just thinking what will be the weight of machines forging it

I don't know what the heck they are doing here, but it's beautiful.

what is the end product?

Oh yeah, I've seen these before. I have one in my basement.

That's going to be one hella-big sword when they're done...

It's amazing what humans can accomplish with our brains.

I liked the bit where they had the hot metal in the press

making a hydraulic piston the make a bigger press?

HPC needs one of these #hydraulicpresschannel 😎 😎 😎

Is this how you forge banknotes?

Just like an American factory, people wandering around looking for a place to take a nap.

It says in the description that this is the second largest forging press in the world. What's the largest?

czt danz quel payz ?

ok now...build a forging press, with a forging press. GO!!

Motor Shaft???

they do not have safety rules?

Is there some induction process keeping it hot? I am intrigued by all of this.
