CORRECTION TO THE VIDEO: I said on the video that there is gas inside of the pressure accumulators but they actually use just air there (air is also gas I know :D). But I think it's interesting fact since usually you have to use nitrogen on your pressure accumulators but I think water as an fluid can handle just pure air so it's easier solution.

Giant ball bearing: "Finally, a worthy opponent".

The new short intro is Prrriitti Guud. 👌

Spraying 100 liters of oil on two tons of red hot steel.

Here I thought they were limited by the time it takes to reheat parts, but they might also be limited by how long it takes to build pressure. It's fascinating seeing it all, thank you again for all the effort.

I had a pressing engagement, but this video was more pressing, so I stayed home to watch it.

If you're not careful, you'll learn something on this channel.

I'm kind of surprised you weren't able to convince them to let you put play-dough in it for the HPC video's extra content. Something really truly extremely dangerous to need 2000 tons of dealing-with-it.

Thanks, Anni and Lauri, for all the hard work on these videos, and driving 22 hours in snow round trip!

I love videos like these because it shows jobs that I want.

It's not every day you see a pliers there are so big that you can drive it.

The "spraying oil on hot metal" comment makes me think of that viral video with the garbage truck that has a hydro line failure and basically exploded in a ball of flame.

I love this channel so much! Used to work at a shop that made honed tubes for hydraulic cylinders and they had a 1,000 Ton press. For some reason they did not let me play with it and I always wondered what it would be capable of, I watched it bend some pretty big steel rods and bars and thought "wouldn't it be fun to put random shit in here and crush it"? Lo and behold there's a whole youtube channel about it.

Love to see how these monsters move. The amount of stored energy in those accumulators is unreal

Love the technical term for the big grabber... “Dis elecetric ting powered by elecetric line”. 😂 Still, his English is 1000000x better than my Finnish. 👏👍

Really nice overview of their setup and good info! I was surprised about the engine room. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain" 😅

Very interesting. Thanks for doing these "field trips". Fun and educational!!

Brilliant thanks, informative and entertaining, cheers

4:33 ...and the big press said: "Somebody's been pressing my ingot." Then the middle sized press said: "Somebody's been pressing my ingot,too" and the little press said" : "Somebody's been pressing my ingot and they completely squashed the crap out of it."

Very impressive. I was a machinist for many years but always liked when I got a chance to use the forklift.

Lauri, Thank you for a very interesting insight, I especially appreciate the little side details, It is a pleasure to see some real engineering being done by professionals. My respect to Componenta.

4:43 Of course if doesn't have batteries. If it did people would be trying to steal it all the time. Who wouldn't want a giant claw machine?

I have to say in your other video that the skills of the fork truck grabber were excellent.

That movable control booth is awesome!

Finally a worthy adversary for the ball bearing!

Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪 really enjoy the videos 👍

Apparently we were dealing with a travel version of a press this entire time. This is the stationary one

Man, how come these videos don't have more views? This is one of the coolest channels on KZfaq. I'll have to cross post some of your videos on Reddit.

Wow that's a big press!🤩

You learn something new every now and then.

Fascinating stuff, Lauri! Thanks as always.

Years ago I saw a water powered press in Sheffield, the pressure was so great water would weep through the walls of the cylinders.

Thanks for the little tour!

Thanks for showing the engine room. I had no idea.

I used to run several types of presses. They ranged from 60 ton up to 3000 ton. The 3000 ton press was usually run at 2000 tons to protect the tooling. We didn't forge metals, we compressed powdered metals in molds to make parts that were run in furnaces. They ended up as solid as if they were machined from a solid piece of metal.

as a former press operator i love seeing these and how they work. max i ever used was 500t

When Lauri and Anni are filming these videos and speaking English, I wonder whether the people nearby are surprised to hear English. Maybe they are impressed, maybe they say: “that is not Finnish. Those young KZfaqrs are filming in English.”

now thats a press

Crushing steel with the biggest press shown on the channel on valentines day. Would be symbolic for many out their

Anyone else see the cilinder/press leaking at around 3:40? I work on CAT excavators, and I think water goes around the seal's in the ciliinder easier than the oil does.

Really want to see the finished product. Love these vids.

Imagine a pin hole leak on the hydraulic line. :o How to convert your press into a waterjet machine!

Whoa!!!! LOOOOVE the new music!!!

Great video! That is some scary looking potential energy!!!! Good stuff!

main and secondary actuators in a large scale setup nice nice.

I like stuff like this. Reminds me of my time in the ship yards

Please tell me we're getting a video on that transformer machine and the guy with sick skills who runs it!

What's the official name for the machine, Hydraulic press 50 trillion

what a Bad Ass video. much appreciation from Alabama

Very nice. It just needs some Click-Bait Tape, wormination scraps on the floor, and some squished Play-Doh nearby, and then it would feel right at home. 😀

Super Interesting Operation! Fascinating to see the engine room. The fact that the lift is tethered to a cord, no running out of Power. Would like to see that enormous Forge. Is it gas or electric ? They must have huge power bill. Great Stuff

Great Scott! This is heavy!

Really interesting content. Excited to see more :)

Idk anymore but this.. (*Puts it on the screen) Haha love it keep it up! Very interresting

Absolutely gorgeous, just like Crushinator from Futurama

Смотрю Ваш канал очень давно, я не знаю ваш язык, и не знал, что вы фины, но по окружающей среде в природе, и вашему акценту, был уверен на 80%, что вы фины, и тут надпись Финляндия в вашем видео. Спасибо за ваши видео.

Got to see one of the heavy press program machines once. Wondering how much of that press is underground. It’s amazing the amount of engineering required to figure out how to press each part. Good video

That blue hi-lo looks like it's right out of "Total Recall".

That vehicle they use to grab the parts with the long cord 🤣

That the pincer lift is constrained by its power cord is further testament to the operator's skill. Most mortals would get it stuck off in a corner where the cord couldn't reach.

I don't know who'd be more excited - Lauri having a chance to examine some monster machinery at close quarters, or the guys from Componenta getting to meet Lauri and Anni and appear on the original Hydraulic Press Channel.

Very interesting. Thanks for filming this.

That was a great look. Thanks

That is one impressive press! Awesome video. All your vids are bad ass. I get excited when a new one comes out!!

Really cool to see this equipment

Very cool! Thanks for the videos.

3:35 instead of quite plenty, needed the official unit of “shit tonnes”

For a moment I was hoping that they would press the orange forklift.

Wow that's huge! I can't believe you guys were planning on making a 1000 ton press

I would so paint that thing green and purple and call it "Hulk".

I still want to see the massive Bayblade you promised us you would make! The one that you would pull with the HPC car

Lauri!! You know you NEED multiple presses with a roving control booth in your life. Imagine the possibilities of multiple crushes with armchair command and control!

The zwick htm 16020 can reach 72 km/h using gas accumulators, this stuff is impressive. The crazy thing is that boston dynamics is using gas accumulators for Atlas, it also allows regenerative braking and replace spring suspensions. One punch and you are KO.

Really interesting to see how the systems differ due to the end user requirements. We have a 1500+ ton press at work with no accumulators but two pumps rated around 250 hp or 180,000 kw. Full pressure is only required for the end of the stroke for most jobs and the high speed is is accomplished by gravity.

Fascinating! I never thought of the hazard of using oil before but that makes perfect sense!

Is that huge hydraulic cylinder solid metal or hollow? I’d imagine it is hollow simply because that would make it stronger but either way, that must be an impressively large lathe used to make it. I’d love to see a video of that.

To add some clarification the cylinders on the sides are slave cylinders powered by a high volume low pressure pump. The big cylinder in the center is a single acting ram powered by a high pressure low volume pump. Those rams have what's called a prefill value which it pretty large and it's only purpose is to allow the hydraulic fluid to quickly flow in and out of that cylinder while the slaves are actuating the press.

in a much simpler system Radio City Music Hall was built (opened 1932) with hydraulic rams to raise and lower the stage in sections. They use the city water pressure to do the work and no oil at all. From the basement level it looks like an old fashion automotive lift... still all original down there as of 5 years ago.

We need that press stamping out starship flaps

The company I work for has a 1 million lbs. press, works for both compression and tensil (push / pull) is awesome.

Exceptional Work!!!

Big machines, scary machines, give me more!

truly BEYOND the press

That's a big damn press lol

Make your own Glacier in the hydraulic press by compressing food grade snow, (not yellow snow, not snow dump snow). Put the snow in a container that is the same inside diameter as a core drill, about 10cm (more on this below) and press to max pressure, add layers intill container is full of compressed snow like a glacier. Now use the core drill to cut a similar size piece of ice from frozen lake, make a 3rd sample by freezing water in a similar container in your home freezer, and finally if you can, attain real glacier ice and use the core drill to make a 4th sample. Once you have all the samples put them into the press and crush them to see which is strongest. And the last thing will be to collect broken ice from man made glacier (remember, use food grade snow), ice from freezer and glacier ice and make an adult beverge of your choosing using this ice to see if there is any taste difference.

Very Very Good, i would have assumed air & water would be very inefficient due to both being compressible? & how about the heat & expansion created as both fluids are under enormous pressure ?

I would love to know how they controlled the grabbing (?) machine so precisely. If that was done manually by a skilled operator.. Bravo!

Will the electric wheeled grabbing machine get its own video? Looks like a very interesting piece of equipment.

You should buy one!

Might you show us the foundation which supports such a powerful press?

Interesting! Thanks

I need to know why the main cylinder was leaking fluid?

Can we call it the MOTHERPRESS?

I'm looking at this as a stamp manufacturer and going: "Daaaaaaamn"

At my work we have 5 Water hydraulic Presses like this one, same water accu and 4 pumps. But normally we only use 1-2 pumps for energy saving

You guys should visit my workplace also in jyväskylä, we use a lot robots for welding, also for stacking etc, i personally operate one bending machine and 2 punch and shear machines.

Damn thats a big press

So cool!

Wow fascinating!

Yes I have worked on a lot of them and the bigger ones, they were originally steam powered then converted to air, water or hydraulic.
