Rome K/G-
Pretty cool. The ability for the transfer from station to station of the red hot parts with pinch and grab equipment calibrated with just enough force and pressure to pick up or move without deforming is pretty impressive. Still a lot of manpower too-

Thanks for sharing
Bernie

Thanks for sharing. At the beginning of the video he was spraying the hot metal. Was he spraying it with air or some liquids to keep it from sticking to the press?

I believe it was water and air to blow the slag off.

I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
