5 axis CNC V8 demo block

[Dirgle]

Interesting how deep they went with the water jacket. Wonder what is to prevent cylinder wall flex?

 

[theKnifeArtist]

that was amazing

Thanks a lot IJ...I burnt my food. I was warming my food when I started watching the video....lol. My wife yelled what’s burning....OH SHIT!

Noel

when i read that i was like oh shit, that's right my food!
then i realized i had the wrong coil on again.
damn electric stovetops.

WOW, I don't even want to think how long it takes to design something like that on the software.

Maybe less than half a day to duplicate that in my software using a reverse engineering (Faro/LaserArm).

Arz: I think Porsche 928 blocks were nikasil'd stock but for the big bore kits I'm pretty sure they coat the pistons.

Waaaayyyyy back I remember a Nika BBC block I think it was made by Maclaren or one of the other big teams back then.

Dirgle: I'd guess a register in the head surface.

TKA: LMAO

 

[NashMan]

some one make a light 7m hehhehe

 

[buldozr]

I got to get me one of those bad boys... maybe Christmas... I think I can settle with a three axis.... definitely.

 

[Tun_x]

How long does it take to program something like that ?

 

[IJ.]

Bul: My machine is 4 axis but I don't use the 4th ever.
(I'd love to buy a 5 axis but it's had to justify the cost for a home machine shop)

Tun: Many many hours

looks like its dancing when its moving the block and bit at the same time. i think there just showing off.

that block actually going to be used for something?

 

[Poodles]

looks like a competition engine (think F1)

many of the specs of the F1 engines are very top secret and we get trickle down from the technology.

I was thinking about the coating of the cylinders too, motorcycles use it, and I would think a racing team could afford it...

Yea thatas why I said for "automotive" use. Yea Snowmobiles, Jetskis, motorcycles, and quads have all used nikasil bores for over 10 years.

Maybe when we have nothing else to do, we can make one

There's also a video of a W16 Veyron block being made.

DC: Thanks for that

Would like to see the code involved.

When I first built my CNC it's meant to be a huge time saver as you hit "go" and wander off and do other things but it's quite memerising and I'd spend all my time watching it do it's thing........

 

[Poodles]

maybe this will help you IJ on knowing the size of the machine...

"The machine in the video has a footprint of 5.2 metres in length & 2.7 metres in width. It also contains the largest working envelope capacity in its class for a 5 axis machine - H350 x 420mm
cheers "

so it's full size I'm assuming...

 

[IJ.]

Poodles: Yep got that from the W16 vid

Man it has one hefty spindle!!

 

[Big Rob]

The size of the spindle really does make you perceive a much smaller machine.
Ian did you get to the exhibition building a few weeks ago? It was manufacturing week and there was a big expo with allot of companies offering demos of there machines, trying to sell stuff.
On another note, my mates dad owns a nikasil shop. Never really crossed my mind to use on a car, just motorcycles.

Bog: I usually get tickets from one of my suppliers but didn't this year

 

[Big Rob]

Tickets? It was free. The even had a whole section for the chinese. Their stuff can look really bad when its sitting next to some of the bigger companies.

 

[IJ.]

That would explain why no tickets
(But seriously there are trade only days that need tickets)
