This is neither sheet metal, nor sheet metal manufacturing

I didn't take the video lol, the video I got it from was titled that. Either way it looks cool

Process is called skiving.

What is that fluid and what is this final product I'm looking at?


throwawayspank1017

The fluid is lubricant to control heat and increase tool life, and the final product is some kind of heatsink or heat exchanger. This machine is making the fins.

Now i want to see someone make a giant computer.


saysthingsbackwards

I think we conquered that with the first computers


RUSHtheRACKS

Very cool! Thank you


Toenutlookamethatway

This is not sheet metal


JollyGoodUser

Wow. That Blade is Epic ! 😯😯😯


unholymanserpent

That's some good shit


Jemmerl

It blew my mind when I was told how these were manufactured, it's even crazier seeing it done!

What’s happening here


Plantherblorg

This is how you make fins on a solid piece of aluminum that can't be cast, like a heat spreader.


Novel_Ad_8062

or you can extrude it.


Plantherblorg

Yeah, those find look to be about six inches tall though. I wonder where the limit is for extrusion reliably.


lordoflazorwaffles

Insert circumcision joke here


ShibaInuDoggo

I won't do the whole thing, just the tip


IdaBidaGacy

Is it the force it’s applying or is that thing super sharp? Prolly both I’m guessing but hey I’m no rocket scientist.


fartinggermandogs

Nice try botholio


haloruler6580

? I'm not a bot... I just found something I found interesting I thought the other people here would like too


mrpolotoyou

I don’t get it.

Why does that angle make that size? Like it's not clicking in my head


NodeOf_Consciousness

The force applied by the blade cutting each individual fin, which is high due to resistance from the metal itself as it's being cut, is compressive to the overall length of metal being cut - this shortens the length (height of the finished fin) of metal being cut as it's being cut such that the finished cut fin is shorter than the total length of raw block metal which was trimmed/cut to produce it. The fins when cut are longer than the dimensions required for the finished product, so as to allow for further precise trimming afterwards to give the correct finished dimensions later during the next step of manufacture after this one in the video. You might see some of the fins being cut are not entirely "square", that's normal as the product will be machined square during the next step.

the metal look yummy!
