wesleywillis posted:Is there a certain point where something like say a giant crankshaft that needs to be machined would just sit mounted on (whatever the gently caress rigid fixture) and the machine tool itself would move rather than the crank? Depends on how round it needs to be, there are some really huge gantry mills out there that can cut giant circles but there's imprecision due to the X/Y/Z cartesian nature of the machine, any kind of shafting is always going to turned and ground on however big a lathe it takes. What you're thinking of is used sometimes for super high-volume production of small parts so they can feed the machine straight off coiled wire stock instead of having to stop and change bars. Even with automatic bar changers that lost cycle time is significant over a long enough run. I'm having trouble imagining an application for it that wouldn't be better served by cold forming though. https://www.mmsonline.com/articles/a-lathe-that-doesn39t-turn-the-workpiece shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Dec 1, 2019 |

They do this for railroad car wheels, giant ball valves, and valve seats for marine engines. I'm sure other things, but I know of those for sure. They tend to be budget options as a stationary machine tool can do a better job.

They don't solely do defense stuff, so I can't say that machine is part of that, but I know my friend has to do a lot of work with inconel and other stupid expensive alloys, something with jet or helicopter engines I think? I know it used to be used to forge missile parts, and the company had previously made parts for the space shuttle. Skip to 6:50 for the start of the sequence: https://youtu.be/MvADC43EHmE

There's a reason msha tends to not gently caress around like OSHA does. My old man was caught in an air blast where a pressure differential blows out a bunch of rock. He somehow lived.

Right, but even assuming that is not what happened in that video, why would you ever want the lift to go free and put in a lever that makes that happen?

Perhaps when you have the load on the ground, and you want to give the riggers some slack to work with. You couldn't really lower it under power at that point since the load wouldn't actually be pulling on it.

Maybe if there was no load on the hook, and you needed to lower the blocks it would be faster to let them free fall and slow them down with the brake rather than try to drive them down? I am not a crane person, btw.   The big yellow things in the 2nd picture are never supposed to be below the floor in the 1st picture, fyi. There's usually not even a hole big enough to let them do that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulIcekOTOqg Here's a small documentary about the goon zipline of waterslides that decapitated the Kansas Secretary of State's Son. For anyone who missed it in the last thread, the whole thing was like poking a wasps nest, only instead of wasps it was the vengeful gods of OSHA violations: quote:Officials in Wyandotte County, Kansas, where it was to be built, were delighted when the company announced the plans in 2005, seeing Schlitterbahn's plan as the culmination of efforts to draw residents of the Kansas City metropolitan area to spend their disposable income in Kansas rather than Missouri. State legislators from the area passed a law allowing Schlitterbahn to "self-inspect" its attractions as it did in Texas, unlike all other amusement parks in Kansas, which were subject to state inspection. quote:Engineers who inspected the ride also commented that the ride's netting, used in areas where riders travel up to 70 miles per hour (110 km/h), "posed its own hazard because a rider moving at high speeds could easily lose a limb if they hit it". Their findings revealed that the use of the metal brace and netting system in the design, along with the use of hook and loop straps to restrain the riders, went against guidelines set by ASTM F-24 Committee on Amusement Ride and Devices. According to the guidelines, Verrückt should have incorporated the use of a rigid over-the-shoulder restraint for riders, and an upstop mechanism to prevent the rafts from going airborne. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verr%C3%BCckt_(water_slide)

I just really don't want to be strapped into something that goes really fast on water and ends in a big pool. With my luck, it ends up upside down and the teenager from Lithuania can't get the restraint release to work.

It could be worse, you could get thrown out and be eviscerated by a conveyor belt so badly that your corpse traumatises paramedics  "Thunder River Rapid Ride posted:On 25 October 2016, a malfunction of the Thunder River Rapids Ride resulted in the deaths of four people.This is regarded as the worst accident at an Australian theme park since the 9 June 1979 ghost train ride fire at Luna Park Sydney. For reasons yet to be determined, one of the rafts, which was also occupied, became stuck at the bottom of a conveyor belt that transports the rafts to the area where passengers disembark. Another raft carrying six people then collided with it, bouncing two of the first raft occupants into the conveyor belt that transports the raft from the bottom of the ride to the boarding area and dragging the other two under the ride's conveyor belt. edit: Cojawfee posted:Why does a water slide need to go 70mph?

On my last vacation I went on a water slide that put you in a tiny capsule and then opened a hatch beneath your feet to drop you into an enclosed tube of churning water It felt like drowning in a car accident. 5 stars.

Yeah, once I went on this insane dual slide that was two tubes intertwined around each other in the double helix formation. By the time you got about halfway down, the water was so churned up and crazy that you were basically underwater. Most people hit the bottom gasping for breath, as they hadn't thought holding their breath was a requirement when going on a slide. I watched it after for a bit as well, and not a single person went for another trip down, one was enough for everyone. This sort of thing:

Yeah hard pass on that death trap. Also the Schlitterbahn slide - not sure how it wasn’t obvious that freestanding metal framing would severely injure someone colliding with it at 70 mph. Also imagine being dragged against netting at 70mph.
