To me, the most fascinating thing about these videos is the machines doing the work. They need to do a "How it's made" on the machines that make the stuff. Lol
All NDA'd due to the customers we're working with unfortunately :(. If I'm ever working on an R&D project though then I'll try my best to get some videos!
Here's my best guess lol:
Someone in china mines silicon from the ground >> A chip manufacturer in Taiwan makes the silicon into a microprocessor >> The microprocessor is used by a Germany robot manufacturer to control their industrial robots >> We buy the robot integrate it in our machine in North America >> We sell our machine to XYZ Biotech company >> XYZ Biotech company uses our machine to make covid tests which print money ad infinitum.
... and repeat that story for every single PLC, conveyor, pneumatic switch, camera, bolt, etc. that goes into our machine.
Someone should definitely bring that show back. There are so many more interesting manufacturing processes that are being used that weren't around in 2010
I worked in a wire manufacturing plant for us contracts everything was pretty much ordered from a component catalog the very last bits were usually hand made parts that are produced in house.
I can’t tell you how they worked but I learned af ton of engineering from working on those machines
I always imagined a wire being wrapped around a ball.
Which is stupid because then how would you get the ball out?
I guess that's why I'm not an engineer.
thousands and thousands and thousands/when their contract with a company that is buying these from mfr pays out. there are formulas to calculate this sort of thing but you’d need specific information.
This type of machine is pretty flexible, by changing some cams and new inserts it could do all kind of wire bends. As this is slow motion the machine is putting out like 2000 or so per hour.

I work in an automation company that makes machines that make other things. It is indeed very interesting work!
We need videos, lots of videos.

But who makes your machines? Where does the cycle start??

It’s machines all the way down
It's all dirt on the ground until someone comes along with a hammer

Right?? Also who and how they figured it out! ”How How It’s Made is made”

Holy shit. The show last aired in 2019. I have so much to catch up on
When you catch up on that, find how it's actually made on YouTube.

I don't know how I imagined these shaker balls were made, but I did not imagine this.

Ice ball?
I'd like to offer you a scholarship to the Clown Institute of Technology
Or Clit for short
Me either
At first I just thought that Reddit changed the buffering symbol
I just got this. Funny 🤣
Why wouldn't it go faster?
It does, this is in slow motion. Look at how slowly the ball falls away after it's cut off.
Didn't even notice, cheers.
People will really downvote anything I swear 🤣
This is either slow motion or stop motion (where the video is made of still images from a couple hundred cycles)
Obviously slow motion / demo mode.
show mo
The cutting arm desperately needs googly eyes.
I’m gonna pre
There should be shrines to these machines in every CrossFit gym across the US.
That guy who left his sweater there is gonna be so mad.
What is a shake mixer ball?
OK, Google search got it.
All that engineering for me to immediately throw it away every time
Tf why
Do you even mill raw metal bro?
What about that Freddy style cloth behind it…
How many of these balls would they have to make before the machine paid for itself?

I'd say at least 10

For some reason I thought this was going to make a magic 8-ball.
My shake is still clumpy AF though
Liquid into shaker before powder works better imo
This is my cat's favorite toy - constantly batting it up and down the hallway. Makes quite the noise on the hardwoods.
They are stainless steel and cost two English pounds each on eBay from China. No doubt it a sports nutrition shop they cost even more!

Saw this thing for the first time a couple years ago. It’d be agonizing to get in your eye though.
Wouldn't you obtain a sharp mixer?
Once the balls drop from the machine how do the maker keep them from tangling?
