Ow! I want this one! Actually, I want a robot like that! Seen them come up pretty cheap, like $2,000.00 - $6,000.00. That would be so cool! Trickle-down does work in technology!
Watch at 52 seconds, there's a guy hiding in back brushing the scale off the die!

The more I watch those videos, the harder it bcomes to tell which is the robot :spin:are you perhaps related?
I love the way you both hold up the piece you've just worked to get a closer look at it.
Didn't realise you could get such a long heat on the induction forges, is it cos that one pumps more energy per second into it. How does altering the coil geometry that way affect the "tuned circuit"????? side of things.
Just looked at the DHL tracking, as I type mines being processed at Heathrow. Gonna suck it and see when i get it and see what it'll do with long heats.

thats a job for a robot if ever there's one.

Man that induction is tits! Nice set up, finished piece? How do you determine the amount of deformation you can get from a certain size press?

Question, questions, questions! Well it's but 8mm (5/16) bar, but I use the same coil on 12mm. There are many variables. You gotta buy a fifty foot (15m) roll of copper tube and play. On a tight coil you can only go 3 or 4 turns (double that on non-magnetic materials). If you can't get heat you either need to spread them out or go to a bigger diameter. Ya gotta build up your empirical database. You'll see. I've been working with induction for 25 years and it's still trial and error.

That will be the sucking and seeing then, maybes combined with a bit of studying some Physics. Ironic thing is Oct through into Dec most of my work is simply cut and weld

Induction be damned-I want the robot. If it can cook and do "anything else" I'd pay a lot more than $2000 for it.

It can't use a brush though (at 52 seconds), stick with the Old Lady :smoke:

Are those dies being heated or is that the cooling fluid/die lube burning off?
I need a robot to put tools away and sweep the floor. I got the blacksmithing stuff under control.

That is a crime against the worlds most perfect food 😀 The only place that CAN even make pizza in Wa that I found is Abellas is Tacoma.

Man that is really impressive...
I think it would be more fun to watch if they where 10 times that size though... Maybe we should start a Blacksmith robot fighting league?
Whatever you are, be a good one.

There used to be a robot fighting league on TV years ago, was popular for a bit then died off.
