Күн бұрын

This factory tour in Taiwan shows a raw metal factory that makes sheet metal (aluminum and steel). Case manufacturers buy metal from these factories to make panels.

We previously toured Lian Li's case factory in detail here: • In-Depth: How Computer...
Many of our factory tours have taken us to both Taiwan and China, primarily Taoyuan or Taipei for the former and Shenzhen or Dongguan for the latter, with raw materials especially centralized. Due to human malware concerns presently spiraling, the metals factory we visited in Taiwan has more business than ever. Its competition across the ocean is operating at significantly reduced capacity, so companies that can afford to make their products in Taiwan are sourcing parts locally rather than importing them. It was a busy time to visit the factory, affording an incredible opportunity to film the full process of how sheet metal is made. Lian Li is a customer of this factory, using its metal for networking chassis and sometimes DIY cases.

When unrolling the metal rolls, the factory I worked at would guide it through a set of rollers that would bend it in the opposite direction that the roll was bent, to effectively straighten the metal. Those rollers would change the degree of bend, as the roll got smaller and smaller. Plus, in the US, the machines that cut the sheets is called a shear.

@vcjester 4 жыл бұрын

We also like to call the bending machines a metal brake in the US... Don't ask me why they call it that...

Bolting down machinery is common in heavy industry . Many large machines MUST have separate foundations of 2feet reinforced concrete + bolted down , otherwise the machine builder won't even sell you the machine . Other reason is that it helps with ridgidity , milling and punching operations generate a lot of force/vibrations and wanna move the machine . I actually have a problem at my workplace on the horizontal milling machine that i work on. I can feel the concrete vibrating under my feet at only 5-10 percent of spindle load ! . The owner cheaped out on machine foundations..... Seismic events.... could be , i don't think so .

I worked for a steel company doing IT work at their various mills and HQ for a few months, and that place looks very familiar. They didn't do the fabrication of anything, though, they just produced the giant rolls of different grades of steel and shipped them out in that form. Those places are LOUD, and all the gigahuge equipment that manipulates rolls of material that weighs more than most buildings is amazing. I was always excited when I got to see them just move stuff around using those gigantic cranes built into the ceiling. I never did get to see them pouring molten steel out of the gigantic blast furnaces, though, just didn't happen to be there when they were doing it. One interesting tidbit about those things, they never turn them off. If something happens and they need to turn it off and actually let the furnace cool down, it does a lot of damage and has to be repaired, then it takes DAYS to get it back up to temperature. So it would run continuously for years and years.

The nitrogen for the laser cutter is not just for cooling but it also works as an assist gas to help with quality of the cut. As an assist gas, nitrogen gas is expelled around the laser head similar to how you use a inert gas when welding to prevent oxidation of the metal while welding or in this case welding. My senior project for my mechanical engineering degree involved removing scrap metal that was blown onto the surface of the cut part by the nitrogen assist gas used by the same 4kW amada cnc laser.

Every time i deal with folks internally at my auto oem, its good enough that onsite suppliers will work with you to determine who's at fault, but all the things i've ran across, most were tier 1 (who supplies final part we use) faults. It can cost each company a lot of money each time a defect is found....and MFG will milk and tack on every associated man hour that can be when parts quality issues an investigation and charges it all back to supplier. Some companies are better at process improvement and holding everyone accountable, but i swear to god if we didn't have one of our suppliers engineers hop on a plane to tell me an obvious visual (headlight optic thing) issue wasn't an issue because design didn't require that as a spec. I was like, "ok, well lets just have people crash because its like driving with a lamp shade over the output and see if thats per spec and argue about that when the lawyers get involved." Lol ...on another note, some companies are also really great at accepting a defect and taking immediate action with Q3 (temp) and Q4 (finalized and "fullproofed") countermeasures but everyone is different. Love working in quality engineering as it opens your eyes up to all sorts of craziness that is never seen from beyond the MFG world.

I worked at a place that flattenned rolls of sheet metal and cut them to whatever the customer wanted, and packed them for shipping. They used rollers to flatten the rolls, nothing close to a hammer, what most use. The metal gets bent passed it's "bend memory" a couple times; then, like any bending, it's bend passed the target any and is flat after spring back. I doubt there's any hammer mechanism.

the LN2 does NOT cool the laser, (it's watercooled by it's own chiller) it's evaporated and blown through the nozzle at a fair bit of pressure to clear molten material, keeping it liquid is just a more practical way of storing and transporting when you need so much of it. And as for the bending machine (break press really) - it IS automated. The operator is just pressing a pedal and feeding in the sheet to be bent as he's being told by the machine...the machine sets the backstops, position and pressure being exerted on the dies automatically.

Very cool. I thought this one would seem mundane compared to the boxes and screws (which were awesome!) but it's much more complex than I thought and seems dangerous too. The workers on those machines have to be careful... sharp bits of metal and aggressive punches and cutting machines all around. Neat to see all of that, thanks guys!

These are ridiculously interesting! Just one thought, it would be nice to hear some of the background factory noise from time to time, just to get more of an idea of the working environment. Love the show Steve.

there is a plant that does very similar things in minnesota, they have a turret press, cnc machines, and a couple of laser cutters! really cool place.
