I’ve used a lot of grinders like that and nope. Just put on safety goggles and hold it out from your body. Most of the handheld ones aren’t spinning hard enough to do major shrapnel damage.

Yeah, also staying out of line with the plane of rotation is your best protection.

I have family that worked on some famous military copters and they basically describe helicopters as machines that are designed to shake themselves apart. You start out with the rotor, and then you have to add another rotor to counter the rotation, and then now you have torques to deal with, so you reinforce that area, which then means you need more lift, which then...

So my work bought a little machine. It's been a long time coming...


That is one of six crates that have been on their way from Italy for about 2-1/2 years now.


Well it now looks like this in our side lot.

According to the driver that one alone weighs 76,000(+).


Purdy Tractor



There are like 5 more like it, although slightly smaller.






Here is where you locate 16 tow motors to lift it off of the bed



So I somehow got talked into working for a bit and missed them moving the largest crate... so so sorry. Rest assured I will not be doing anything except poo poo posting the rest of the day. Please forgive me.
But I did manage to get them squeezing it in the back overhead. Soooo close to not making it.



fwiw, there is a tow motor of equal size on the other side of the crate moving in reverse.


Here is the main machining unit laid out on a nice shiny piece of floor.

10' ladder for reference...It supposedly weighed 76,000 in the crate
Another view

wait, something doesn't look quite right....

OOPS

I'm sure that will buff right out...



And for reference this is what it does.

Ours is much larger/newer model(G397 whatever the gently caress that means) of that same machine. It was custom built and took over two years from purchase to delivery to get. Covid may have slowed that down a bit.


Long story short it's a 5-axis rotary transfer machine that will load, fully machine, deburr, wash, unload, and pack Brass CGA valves in ~ 6 seconds. All of that for the low low starting cost of 3.5million dollars.


Since this turned into such a long post I will stop here with it. I can post more once it's fully assembled and/or put it all in thread of it's own if anyone is interested.

It comes in handy for sure. Our main ship/receive docks are the other side of the build and are fully covered pull in style. But just past that ramp you mentioned are a set of tracks that go onto that bay. Not ours, but just to give a scale to the size of bldg we're in.

Tow Motor vs Forklift is like Soda Vs Pop

In the 80s my father in law worked for a company that made CNC machines for the aerospace industry. Northrop had a machine that needed specialized bearings that were only manufactured by the USSR. The cheapest option to acquire them was to buy a complete CNC machine from Germany, ship it over to the USA, and pull out the bearings. They softened the blow by packing the air spaces in the machine with vodka and cigars.

hmmph. Did I use the correct terminology for my neck of the woods.

And it's POP ...Always POP......unless you order a soda-POP that is.




From the most reputable source I could find:
"The name "Tow Motor" comes from the Towmotor Corporation, which was founded back in 1919. The original Towmotor machine did not have forks on the front. Rather, it was an industrial tractor that was made to push and pull carts from one point in a warehouse to another.

It wasn't until 1933 that Towmotor unveiled the world's very first forklift. "
