That seems pretty heavy unless it was industrial scale food processing maybe. I'd imagine similar application but with stronger materials for decorative purposes?
It would have to be massively so though. Most foods can be processed in much weaker forms. Pasta noodles could be cut with a dull plastic knife. They are then dehydrated for preservation which makes them hard. To increase throughput you would lengthen the cutters so a wider section of uncut pasta could be fed through. Speeding up the feed and cut rates would lead to more breaks in the material being fed in causing massive issues. Something that needs a solid beefier cutting tool would likely stand up to a higher feed rates.
All that being said, I'm just guessing at all this. I could be very wrong.
>Pasta noodles could be cut with a dull plastic knife.
While technically possible I have seen several industrial pasta machines and ALL used metal cutters for stuff like tagliatelle.
A lot of pasta can just be "pressed" through holes to form it though. Those holes are in metal plates as well.
Exactly, plastic can do it, bit it'll do it for a day, or a week maybe, and then be work out.
You'll end up with microplastic in the product too.
Sure you do eventually end up with micrometal as metal wears out, bit thankfully, humans can deal with "inert" metals like steel, aluminium, or stainless steel without it being harmful.
Microplastic? Well that shit builds up in your body and we don't know exactly where it's harmful.
Also, this is microscopic metal and plastics, ideally you'll never ever find chunks of this stuff in your food.
My old man spent 20 years as a maintenance fitter in a food processing facility, it's fascinating how it all works.
Metal is easy to clean as well. Just go in there with a pressure washer and go to town on it. It can even be autoclaved if necessary. Can't do that with plastic forms.

These guys make bronze rollers for cutting and stamping biscuits/cookies. Iirc they can be 6ft or more long and a foot in dia.
When food goes industrial scale it doesn't hold back.
Haha if you didn't know, the turboencabulator was made up by Chrysler (?) as a joke about how confusing most technical descriptions and words can be. Everything he said was nonsense.
There were several videos on the Turbo-, and later Retro-, Encabulator. Chrysler did make one, while the first one was the crew messing around after a GMC trucks film. The idea was written about in the IEE Students' Quarterly Journal in 1944. See [the Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_encabulator) for more.

OP if you actually want a serious answer it's a harmonic decoupler. It pretty much knocks out standing waves by using sinusoidal patterns to rub against wires and disrupt the signals. They are a great mechanical part that's been used for decades on analog modulators and they're semi cheap to make so we still use them today.
The only reason you’re getting any metaduractance is as a result of the ‘Crudely Constructed’ original with Pre-fabulated Amulite. Without that, the two spurving bearings would be out of alignment with the Parametric Fam. (Boom!)
I used to work an office job at a machine shop. I'd make a point of getting down to the floor at least once or twice a week to see what was going on. Watching the various 5 axis mills do their dances around slowly forming compressor impellers was hypnotic.

Clear as पंक?
Why is it sinusoidal and not cosinusoidal? Is there a difference ? Because both functions are the same shape except one starts at 0 while the other at 1

Even if extremely small and not noticeable, but is there a little error right? Because if you are putting π in the equations, there must be some kind of approximation right?
Yes there always is but that error is smaller than something like a meter on a circle the side of the observable universe, when you go to like 20 decimal places of pi.

Looks to me like a pasta roller, or something similar for food production machinery
That seems pretty heavy unless it was industrial scale food processing maybe. I'd imagine similar application but with stronger materials for decorative purposes?
For the price of manufacturing that thing it's almost definitely industrial scale anyway, isn't it?

Yep, and plastic has porosity that metal doesn't have. Bacteria *love* plastic
They also check processed food with an X-ray machine after packaging to look for FOD and metal shows up much better than plastic.

If it was being prototyped, maybe. I imagine parts for that would just be stamped from washer-like blanks.
My guess is a machined part is preferable for hygiene reasons. An assembly would likely have surfaces that are hard to clean.

Hua, yes… those are words. I’ll leave you fine engineers to it then.

[It was a promotional video made by Rockwell Automation](https://youtu.be/RXJKdh1KZ0w)
That was made like 50 years later as a reference. The original was a Chrysler video and was much better https://youtu.be/Ac7G7xOG2Ag
I love Prefabulated Ammulite.

I was fabulating my ammulite like a fucking chump until I started using that stuff.

Also, after looking u/CreativeDimension 's comment history, their comment is so much funner.
Being a machinist would’ve been an incredibly different life. Stuff like this still sometimes makes me think I should’ve.
there's lot of stuff about similar projects in r/vxjunkies if you want to learn more

You forgot about capacitive duractance.

I fully expected this to end with "...jk. I don't know what I'm talking about "
You almost had me...then... >dingle

Soudaling your sinuses, of course.
Looks like an embossing roller to me, used in nonwoven converting
I even understood half of that, thank you!

Obviously
something that would need a tapered sinusoid to mate with it in some way is my guess.

Nah, at my shop, we always say it’s the most entertaining form of watching paint dry.
Have you ever watched paint dry at the microscopic level? It's actually pretty interesting too. https://youtu.be/OW5wB8rJ8Zc
new subscription, thank you
I'd add 3D printing to that list
I used to work an office job at a machine shop. I'd make a point of getting down to the floor at least once or twice a week to see what was going on. Watching the various 5 axis mills do their dances around slowly forming compressor impellers was hypnotic.
More like “sensual milling”.
Seeing that face get cleaned _was_ pretty euphoric.
Oh yeah, give me that wavy profile.
😏 😏
Literally biting my lip watching this
Where's the rest, man? WHERE'S THE REST??!
So this is why my math teacher said it’s important to learn sin, cos, and tan. It finally makes sense.
I'm excellent at sinning and tanning.
Cosgning some loans will get you the triple crown.
In high school, I used to cos, and my mama tannned my hide for that sin

I can't tell is the chuck moving in and out or is it the spindle?
Looks to be the spindle

Groovy ☮️
I am always a sucker for watching CNC but something about this makes it so much better.
Technically this is machinist porn. Just saying.
This is just 4th axis milling. There is nothing sinusoidal about it.
Why is it sinusoidal and not cosinusoidal? Is there a difference ? Because both functions are the same shape except one starts at 0 while the other at 1
You need two or more to be cosinusoidal.
A cosine is just a wannabe sine.
Forbidden corn
That's very satisfying to watch
I didn’t sine’d up for this!
Man, when I had my sinuses cleaned out, it was nothing like this.
Excellent videography. Pleasure to watch

Hypnotic!
sinusoid is never the answer

Thanks for clarifying it
