Comments: - - The start of the vid is impressive, who would believe it is possible to make gears and machinery so big that can still do actual mechanical work ?! These aren't just metal statues they are actually pieces of gigantic precision machinery! Also the thick plate steel being rolled into a gigantic barrel/pressure-vessel is truly amazing also. I am truly humbled by all the math involved in designing and manufacturing things like this,including the physics,the material-science,the metallurgy,the manufacturing process and techniques are all very amazing to me ! Thanks for a truly interesting vid ! I just subscribed !
They had two plate rolls at Williamson Production Works in Lafayette . There was a verticals roll that would roll 6” thick by 6 feet wide into a 48” diameter while hot from the heater oven. It would roll 4” thick to the same dimension while ambient temperature. The Hauser Roll machines were “monsters”. I saw them doing that several times.
I watched the stove of a modern diesel locomotive, it’s worth looking at this 80-ton piece of iron, you understand right away that the main thing is the machine and technology, that our rebuilders are the coffin in the first place. Plus the quality that Gorbachev immediately fucked up
If you look at the display of the machine, you can see that 12 cm is one sheet, the workpiece is multi-layered. at the output, even the video is not 120 mm. In our country, they make layers thicker and more at the exit, young people don’t know shit except YouTube and don’t want to study, they can’t add two plus two without a calculator, infantile brakes!
We had such equipment in Snezhnoye, Verina rolls with a 980mm top roll and a feed table, a bottom production line and much more, and then the "Russian world" came
