IDRA's spokesperson in this video is top notch. I appreciate how he's able to engage both Sandy

That was impressive. Engineering on an absolutely massive scale. Hats off to these guys; they really know their stuff.

I'm so excited to watch this IDRA tour. Such an important company. The Italian people should be really proud of them :) True European innovation

Italy has superb engineering skills and facilities. I’ve toured a few of their manufacturing factories and their overall designs and the tooling that makes and machines the components are generally second to none.

I used to work with high pressure diecasting machines in the 80's. One of the early projects I was involved in was replacing a worn out (unreplaceable and increasingly unreliable) mechanical timer used to sequence the injection phases. We built a custom controller based on a 6800 microprocessor that enabled the timing of the hydraulic valve actuations. I also assisted in commissioning a used Idra press that they bought. A key skill in the foundry was the metallurgy, the lab had a spectrum analyser to QA the aluminium for the correct alloys. That was also interesting to work on, as callouts were at least 24 hours delayed, I was allowed to try to fix it when it broke down, as there was no production without QA of the materials.

Idra is from my town in Italy: really proud of this Italian excellence

It's awesome to see Sandy getting nerdy with an engineer. You can see how excited he is about his work. No marketing BS here, just raw engineering nerdiness. I love it!

Loved the openness of the Idra tour team and the way Sandy let them explain without needless interruptions. A class act all round.

As an Electrical Engineer, this was jaw dropping for me.

Holy crap! everything is HUGE at IDRA, unbelievable that this all works as intended. The masses, speed and accuracy is mind blowing!

I like how Sandy reiterates three minutes of explanations in one sentence.

Thanks to Tesla for making this tour a reality. Munro couldn’t convince OEMs to build a casting machine even half the size of the GIGAPRESS. IDRA wasn’t even sure if it was possible. Musk asked 5 casting machine companies to build the gigapress. 4 of them said it was impossible and IDRA said, “it might work”. Musk took that as a “Yes”. IDRA believed in their engineers to take the journey with TESLA.

Let's thanks the truckers and logistics workers for their roll in getting these machines to Tesla. It' s team effort. Fascinating report.

Congratulations on achieving 300K ! 600K will happen even faster! You've been a credit to manufacturing and the incredible talent to be found in all forms of engineering!

I found Fiore easier to listen to. He started out by stating what the largest constraint was (customers want shorter injection times), then the implications of that constraint (faster movement, which makes stopping the machine and in particular stopping the hydraulic fluid more difficult), and then what they did to meet that constraint (more pumps and moving the valves to the moving platen itself to minimize the volume and mass of hydraulic fluid past the valves).

Holy crap, that was amazing and the IDRA hosts were so gracious and knowledgeable. I'm not sure if they understood the gravitas of Sandy's praise though. Thanks for sharing Team Munro!

I never thought that I would develop such an interest in complex engineering - and while I have an above-average understanding of much of the physics, most of this sort of stuff is way over my head - but Munro Live has become a MUST watch programme for me. Thanks to all involved for going out there and producing world-class mini-documentaries that deserve all the accolades you are getting. Proud, and honoured to be a subscriber.

Munro has opened a whole new world for me. Never before did I care about this kind of machining until I discovered Tesla and Munro. I am enjoying this learning journey immensely. My background is elec. eng. in the medical imaging field, very far removed from a 9000 ton Gigapress! Great work Sandy and associates.
