OT: Giant warehouse sized CNC machine?

PlasmaOnTheBrain · Dec 11, 2017

It was a video I saw on this forum. The video was a time lapse of this giant gantry in a very large warehouse working on segments of some sort of giant ring. I cant find the thread or the right combo of words to search for it... Anyone else remember this video?

Pretty sure that was the one OP had in mind. I remember asking why they handled the segments so many damn times. On. Off. On. Off.

I think someone here knew someone who worked on that machine and relayed some Q&A.

God that looks like some really boring work. No pun intended. Mind-numbing I would think. Other than that dang what a machine that beast is.

Machines like that elicits a reaction in me like the temple of Luxor: that man can create such things fills me with awe...

That would have been the member peterve. Often signs his posts as Peter from Holland. He's a used machinery dealer in Holland.

That machine is at P. van der Wegan gears. P. van der Wegen Gears BV * Tilburg

Regards Phil.

(On edit) The machine is a Waldrich Coburg. From the official Waldrich Coburg site, they have a clip from a Netherlands newspaper.
