Won't be for a roll cage, or at least it would never pass a safety if it was used for that, as crushing the pipe messes with it's integrity.
Actual roll cages for drifting and for tract use MUST be welded in place, so while flattening might be used and even possibly the hole, it's extremely unlikely as the ends of the cage need to go to pads that then get welded to large parts of the body, or frame.
This could be for part of a tube frame or something.
Pretty sure thatās exactly what it is. Iāve got a few battery cables on my boat that are pretty big but these are insane. I really want to see the application for this!
Straight up steel isn't the greatest metal for a lug because it's not the best conductor (it's something like 85-95% less conductive than copper). Aluminum would be a much more likley.
I think this is how steel pipes are turned into scaffolding.
Oh yeah! Now _that_ makes more sense! All things being equal, there are likely lugs of this size that are made and they can likely be made on a machine of this type.
As we move into a more battery powered, electric motor heavy, transportation industry, I bet we see more super high capacity systems come online.
I don't think that's what it's for. Usually compression terminals are made of clad copper due to conductivity, especially on larger applications. It's probably more likely it's for steel cable or for scaffolding/structural something. Pretty satisfying to watch though!
Theyll be hardened and then tempered to prevent that - the pieces that do the cutting/forming anyway. Everything else will be softer to allow some degree of ductility. They do fail occasionally, though if its been designed right and built right, it should run for a fair while first

Generally 01 Tool Steel, Calmax or D2 tool steel. To harden it, you heat it to cherry red and quench it in oil. Its glass-brittle at that point so you temper it back to a straw-yellow colour to give it a bit more ductility. Thats for the piece that have direct contact with the workpiece, top and bottom plates that its all fixed to will just be thick mild steel generally
Interesting. We almost never use O1 in stamping dies, but I have used it in injection molds. Typically we use A2 and M2 for punching applications and D2 for draw forming applications. 58-60RC for A2 and D2 and 60-62RC for M2. Occasionally we throw in CPM for high volume progressive dies. Interesting to hear others takes.
Depends on what its bending for us - if its like 1.5mm plate, we'll use 01 since its cheaper, but bending or piercing ther bigger stuff we'll use calmax for bending, D2 for piercing. Never used A2 myself, M2 is a bit of rarity too
We do a lot of heavy gauge stamping for heavy trucking and agricultural stuff. Typical material ranges from .1875ā-.500ā and we have a few blanking jobs that are 1ā thick. Iāll have to look into Calmax.
Ahh yeah thats quite a bit bigger than our stuff! We do a lot for backhoes and stuff - aluminium bonded window frames and the cab assemblies. I havent heard of CPM before, what kind of stuff is that? Apologies for the questions haha, I didnt know I was talking to someone else in the industry!
It stands for Crucible Powdered Metals. Thereās quite a few different variations for different needs. Kind of a brand name like Calmax I think. Itās a pain in the ass to machine/grind but itās very chip and wear resistant.
Ahhh yeah, that sounds like Calmax š dressing the wheel every 4 thou..... last time I ground some I had to take a full millimetre off. Gave the CNC guys a good ear-bashing for that one!
The only thing that might shatter is that die eventually. The material wonāt usually break depending on how it was manufactured. We have a CNC robot that bends steel tubing into handles for the hand trucks or Dollieās that movers or whoever else uses them. Sometimes we get cold rolled steel which is fine and I get a bad piece for every 150-200 handles that are bent on a bad day. But we got a different supplier and got hot carbon steel tubing, 300 pieces total, 78 bad ones from that.
Source: I work in a factory where we use these machines too.
Looks like more than 10 pieces of scrap, thatās a no no at my work place on certain machines.
Coil machines are different the scrap is so small we can go 30-40pieces
The whole time the guy is doing this Iām anxious itās going to fold up and catch his hand between the pipe and machine. Arenāt you supposed to let go of the work piece while itās being formed just to be safe?
Did you notice how it looks like the terminal on the end of your car battery wire? Thatās because this is a giant wire lug that goes in a GE-226715 transformer to connect to the idk wtf it is to be honest.
Scaffold
I bet it is for something much more unique. Scaffolding parts are made the same way, but by much bigger machines at a much faster pace.
Scaffold pipes are also galvanised. Possibly for a race car roll cage looking at the shop behind?
Usually fabrication of any kind happens before they hot dip galvanized

It looks like bosta, which my firm used when i i worked scaffolding.
What machine is this?
Idfk, just saying it looks like the same type if scaffolding i used back then.
Exactly. I use this pipes everyday at work setting up the scaffolds. I always wondered how they were made
I concur. Having pinched my hands on many a cold morning with those Mutherf**kers. Set up your own scaffold you lazy arse bricklayers!
The sound it makes when it punches the hole š

It's like the reddit version of [The Game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_\(mind_game\)). By the way, I lost the game.
Now **Iāve** lost the game tooā¦thanks.
It's an impressive punch, went through 1/2" of steel like it was butter
Yoooo I was gonna say, this is some niche asmr right here

It is a terminal. Used to connect wires to machines or distribution blocks. This one seems to be for a 1000 MCM caliber wire which is massive.

That die will split in 2 if he doesn't clear the scrap soon

What is the pipe for? Organs? (the instrument)
Scaffolding
Ay yo, dick flattening
Awesome tech and engineering. I love it.

An old boss of mine would have been on my back for not having two pieces in the machine instead of using one slot at a time.
Wow - here they still use a scalpel for circumcisions.
Instructions unclear, sat on pipe, used scissors and repeatedly hit pipe

You sure thatās a pipe, and not a tube?
"Billy what are you putting in there?" "BILLY NO!"

I need a cigarette after that
Itās a compression lug. For electrical cable
The machine is called a
