I see no women at work here, you know REAL work!
This is the type of machine that the public NEVER gets to see. Thank you for this video. What an amazing mill.
2:11 I didn't realize how much of these machines are underground, and how massive a foundation they need. The "iceberg" of giant machinery!
Это не пресс для штамповки . Это КОВОЧНЫЙ гидравлический пресс . Не путайте слова КОВКА и ШТАМПОВКА . Много лет работал на ковочных прессах . Есть видео про работу на 6000 т прессе , 3000 т прессе и 800 т прессе . Всем коллегам - кузнецам ЗДОРОВЬЯ , ДОЛГОЛЕТИЯ и ИНТЕРЕСНОЙ РАБОТЫ ...
Weighing more than 25 metres in length..... sounds pretty heavy.😢
I heard that also and had to double check what I heard. I think that they need an editor or script proof reader.
Meters are now also a unit of weight??? Interesting. 😂🤷♂🤦♀
Indeed it is very heavy
This is google produced AI crap. Why let human content creators take all the ad revenue.
Not as large as 50 tons long.
Wait until The Hydraulic Press Channel gets ahold of one of these
HPC is why I have arrived at this very video lol
😂
Pretty cool, man. Imagine the costs involved in tooling up machines like this.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!?
A thing of beauty. Large presses are the foundation of industrial leadership. Have been for 200 years and it's still true today.
Crazy cool machines great video
in the Video where the Steel got forged and pressed and you can read "saarschmiede Freiformschmiede" on the Sign, thats Saarstahl a pretty big and good Employer
Beautiful 👍 !.
This is all very well but, will it fit in my man-cave?
Hope they didn’t put that huge press near the San Andreas Fault?! .. CaWump! 😮
11:05 That's a supremely rigid lathe and toolholder to be able to take a deep cut like that.
I'd love to know about the concrete they used for the base?
Wow what a huge machine
Maşallah Allah razı olsun
Nais .. I like .. T..y.
The Loewy in Massachusetts is also 50,000 ton closed die press both it and the Mesta where made in the 1950s for the US Air Force
When I was an apprentice at ALCOA all the high voltage panels were marked with Property of the USAAF, and were still in operation to the mid 90’s when the plant closed and was sold. All the forging, extrusion equipment along with tube reducers, and draw benches were dismantled and shipped out. A special furnace that was developed by us at the Vernon Works for remelting aluminum chips, and fines was something proprietary to the Vernon Works was torn down. The biggest closed die press at the Vernon Works was their 8,000 ton press.
@@gilgarcia3008 Wyman and Gordon has a 50,000 ton it,s baby brother a 35,000 ton. The same building had the 18,000 ton from ww2 that was built to keep up with Germany in magnesium pressing. When the war was over the press in Germany was found and it was 33,000 tons. Big presses are not that new. They do titanium now though.
@@stephenroyal1619 Germans built them to forge titanium
@@brendo7363 You must mean magnesium, unless you are talking about after ww2. Titanium was not used in ww2 to my knowledge. Can you imagine if Germany had titanium buckets for their jets? scary.
@@stephenroyal1619 yes you're completely correct, I misremembered. The heavy press wasn't used for titanium aircraft forgings until the 50's
Amazing Video #Greatthings
Çok güzel gerçekten
Have you ever seen a machine as large as this?
Everytime i look in the mirror. 😁
Oil rigs and bucket wheel excavators are bigger, but nowhere near as cool :D
I worked on some of those components at Sheffield Forgemasters Engineering.
No thus is fucking cool
yes, rosie o'donnells vibrator
Ref 1.53 ' tie rods weighing more than 25 metres in length ' what is the meaning of that ?
The narrator screwed up and the error wasn't seen so wasn't fixed surely
Shultz Steel in South Gate CA has a 40,000 Ton Press
In its last meeting, the FED bypassed the interest rate increase and stated that it would be satisfied with only 2 increases next year, contradicting the market that expected 4 or 5 interest rate increases. This means that the interest rate will hover around 4.00-4.50 in the USA next year. Because consumer demand is still very dynamic and growth figures are above expectations. This means that consumption demand will also be alive in 2024. Under these conditions, it would be too ambitious to expect an increasing trend in precious metals. I predict that today's figures for gold and silver will be sought in the medium term.
That is cool man TY for the great content
These machines are impressive. But we have to remember, machinists a century ago made parts of this scale operating and measuring all with their hands on levers and crank handles. Also, they did not have the carbide and diamond cutting tools that are common today. In some ways, what these people did was more impressive than what these Cnc machines can do.
Thank you for this comment. Even after larger CNC .machines were available, not all companies could afford them. I was a heat treating inspector for many years. We made our measurements with hand tools and made our calculations with slide rules. Sigh, we even had to have complex math skills.. In a way the new ways provide a repeatability that the old manual often could not. I worked at a large aircraft manufacturing company during the transition to macines capable of making multiple identacle parts. Our first machine could make three identicle parts at atime. This machine was not a CNC machine. It was prgrammed and tool changes made all by hand. Remember our old ways were once cutting edge new. I am 83 years old and worked in the metals and aircraft industries as these transitions were taking place. The same things were happening in the Quality Control areas. New Ways of measuring had to be devised. Sometimes I feel like a Time Traveler or someone plucked from one Time and deposited in another . But this time is better. It's always better. There never was a Good Ol'Days.
To make a one of a kind machine this big you several one of a kind machines this big. 🤔🤷♂️
So which one of those was first there? Egg or henn?
Nothing like forged metals…
warning! A.I content
How large is this device compared to the Methsa 50,000 ton press in Pennsylvania?
💯💯 ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Never new something could weigh 25 meters in length.
“Weighing more then 25 meters in length” nice typo
Cameron Iron Works 35000 - 50000 tons x 2+meters is the highest energy press yet.
Was the script written by ChatGPT?
My god its remarkable that anything is affordable. It makes me feel like I'm a lock washer lost on a dusty floor.
The Iron Butt ain't got nun on these
The Animation looks more commedy Thane the reality.
Did l hear right? 10,000T? So it's just a little guy. You are aware of the 50,000T presses built 70 years ago as part of the heavy press program?
1:50 weighing more that 25 meters in length?
Weighing more than 25 meters in length?
Impressive video, but you should have someone edit the script so that it’s more accurate and less general.
Any component - "specialized machines were used to precisely install it so that it can withstand the immense forces of the BLAH" 😂
I never knew something could weigh 25 meters….😂
these tie rods ...weighing more then 25 meters in length ?????? WTF ...
jfc. I've never seen anything eat material as much as at 18:34 in the video
Theres some really smart and rich people on earth
I've read details of the Mesta 50,000 ton press. This press has only 1/5 the capacity, and the Mesta isn't the biggest anymore, either.
I visited siempelkamp ten years ago, the german foundry and machining firm also included in the footage here. They were working on a 100 000 ton press, to let the russians make rocket and airplane parts from titanium more effectively. All hail capitalism... I wonder if there are even bigger presses today?
I would like to see how they prepare the castings.
Shultz Steel in Southern California operates a 45,000 ton press, and the MESTA is At ALCOA’s Davenport works. Russia had a 77,000 ton press, and I believe China has a 80,000 ton. I spent twenty years at ALCOA’s Vernon works in Southern California, and spent two years at Shultz Steel as a Millwright!
Howmet(old Alcoa) in Cleveland Ohio has a 50,000 ton press
The Howmet Cleveland press is the Mesta 50. @gilgarcia3008, I don't know what presses may be at Davenport, but it's not the Mesta 50.
Don't understand using a truck-mounted mobile crane when there's a 32 ton overhead crane in place for assembly of components for the Hydromec press.
am sure it was a scania also
1:49 these tie rods weigh more than 25 meters in length! That's allot!
Absolutely amazing ! its truly one of a kind
Next time, use some footage that wasn't filmed from the moon
put a watchmaker in here so he can shit bricks. hes the micro sized tool now

Don't use input as a verb. You enter data, you don't input data.
1:51 Weighing more than 25 meters in length....hmmm
Things that weigh in Meters
hard to believe England still makes castings.
This guy just ripped off a bunch of videos that the company has put out
WHY do I keep seeing fools walking under the load? People get FIRED for violating this safety rule...
I miss engineering especially working on lathes.
I was Senior Controls Engineer for LeBlonde service for some years but started my first job on a manual lathe
I used to work for Delta Precision which closed due to China entering the world market. It was the biggest turned parts shop in Europe. I was a machine setter then on W&G rotary transfer machines before I was a turner..@@agp9844
In no way is this the largest, biggest, heaviest press. Not by a long shot.
the weber press is the largest in the western hemisphere, the largest pull down style press built to date, and the largest ever built to date with privet money, as of 2018 ish, when it was put into service, not highest tonnage ever but in several catigories its the largest of its type 60,000 tons of force applied
@@manga12 Not at 10,000 ton
@@davidrule1335 yea no thats not even the largest open die press anymore, thats around 20000 or 25000 tons open die, but I saw the press with the blue frame on it and thought we were referencing the webber press which is the largest pull down type and biggest in the western hemisphere of the closed die type at 60000 tons.
@@manga12 MESTA 50,000 ton in Cleveland Ohio press and the 80'000 ton in japan
@@davidrule1335 there is one in california at webber metals thats part of the otto fuchs group that is a 60,000 ton, and there are several larger then that in the east one in russia, three in china and I guess they have a 100 grand in italy
And they say we can’t move a 1000 ton rock 😂 gtfoh
How did they make the first edition of that press if there wasn’t a press that big yet?
Why would you need a press that big to make the big press? It isn't made of one-piece.

@ 1:52… “These enormous tie rods, weighing more than 25 meters each…” (maff skills)
How much does a meter weight?
@@davidrule1335 😂😂
Damn good thing these things aren't made in China!!!!!
I wonder how much this guy gets paid by the companies to red their brochures here...
No point in observing animation .
Let me guess they gave it to China
i like the vids but please put them in usa terms
you mean ''football fields'' for length, ''elephants'' for mass, and ''olympic swimming pools'' for volume??
"weighing more than 25 meters in length"? Learn to read and write for gods sake.
It may be the largest in the USA, but there are larger presses in China, and Russia.
1:50 "weighing over 25 meters in length". Please join me in giving this video a resounding thumbs down.
Sure am glad some of these machines are " robust ". No sh-t . How stupid.
Not even close to being the worlds largest nor most powerful.
This commentary is so full of 💩... 1:52 "weighing more than 25m in length".. 🤣🤣🤣
Tedious narration
Meticulous AI ! Would be so much better without the robotic voice
More AI shit.
The Chinese can't handle anything like this.
It makes large hooks but in the beginning they said it was for the aerospace industry
2 different presses
@@psykosis101 Yes, would have been nice to have more focus on the huge ass SMS press at Weber Metals in California. So much of the artificial intelligence and robotic voice as to be comical.
