WHOA!  Craziness 

 

 

 

 

Threw in the medical video for the coolness of it

Hhah. Because Matrix magazines are way too boring and reliable. Pretty cool to look at though.

One of my previous employers had a stand alone Chiron. I can't remember the model, but it did do some fancy moves with the pallet LOL. The machine was scary fast too.

I never remember the machine ever being down, but that must have been about 20 years ago now.

My mate ran a 5ax about 5 years ago which was the first they had done with a Heidenhain (as std was siemens or the other way round).

Anyway, it had a load of plc/integration issues, one of which was the random toolchanger which used to love trying to put tools back into a pocket which already had one in.

I emailed him the link to this vid and asked what he reckoned this one would be like.

His reply was 'lucky dip'

Looks like the engineer's had a Rube Goldberg concept for a toolchanger.....and ran with it.

Geez, just when you thought Chiron tool changers were unnecessarily complex and unreliable enough, they stepped up their game...

Rube Goldberg would be proud. :
