BMW Motorcycles - Worlds Biggest Motorbike Factory | Full Documentary

Germany's only motorbike Factory is located in the Berlin suburb of Spandau BMW has been mass producing motorcycles here since 1969 the plant covers an area of 30 soccer fields this is also where BMWs two-wheel flagship is built the s1000rr nicknamed the double are the 199 horsepower Superbike consists of more than 4,500 separate parts it is fully assembled in just two hours this is Champions League stuff the double R's high performance engine in particular is something very special its components are machined to an accuracy of one thousandth of a millimeter [Music] that's Formula One precision production runs like clockwork every step is timed to the second working in close cooperation people and robots manufacture up to 10,000 Superbikes a year as well as other two-wheelers made in Germany spiked towels and gigabytes a fattie 2,000 staff members here manufacture up to 800 motor bikes and scooters every day that's one every sixty five seconds [Music] motorbike production in Berlin centers on the u-shaped assembly line which has 62 fully automated carriages constantly travelling around it although it's similar to a conveyor belt this high-tech transport system is far more intelligent and customized laid in the workshop floor our induction loops which guide the driverless carriages along the way the system records every work step and every part that is installed worker can also adjust the height of the driverless transport carriage turn it and also call the previous worker for example the complete Superbike is built on a carriage like this in two hours the heart of the Double R is its engine later all parts will be assembled around it with its 199 horsepower the 999 cubic centimeter engine has a top speed of 299 kilometers an hour the four cylinder in-line engine is built entirely at the berlin plant the assembly team takes 120 minutes for the task first of all a fitter checks the con rod and bolts it to the piston in all four Konrad's are installed in the crank case everything has to fit perfectly the koi be heaped with this motorbike the piston goes up and down 238 times a second so obviously the crankcase has to be manufactured with extreme precision the circulatory tolerance is one tenth of the width of a human hair you can well imagine what that involves the final piston is inserted in the cylinder the quartet is now complete in order to install the crankshaft the block has to be tilted the mechanic can only introduce the crankshaft into the housing in one specific position the small white rods help him to slip the shaft exactly onto the four little ends the Conrad covers are then firmly bolted on [Applause] the mechanic then fits the six gear transmission with the drive sprocket there is very little room in the crankcase everything is extremely compact so even though we asked perform this task thousands of times the fitter needs total concentration the engine block moves on to the next assembly point the other half of the housing has had a sealant applied and closes off the transmission an industrial robot tightens the 23 volts in a specific sequence and with a specific torque later the housing will be flooded with oil so it must be 100% tight [Music] at the next assembly point the cylinder head is added it will contain the valves the camshafts and the spark plugs the cylinder head is the most complex and thus the most expensive part of the engine block the automatic bolting control tells the mechanic the sequence in which the ten bolts have to be tightened veer to the correct torque has also been programmed in all the data are recorded the timing chain is mounted and the camshafts inserted and pressed in place up to 140 of these engines are manufactured each day every work step is timed into the second finally the cylinder head is closed with a sealed cover to save time many tasks in the motorbike factory are performed by automatic machines this machine coats the edge of the Dynamo housing with a synthetic sealant the operation could never be performed as quickly cleanly and precisely by human hand at the next assembly point the superlight magnesium cover is bolted to the block every operation concerning the engine is recorded in the central data bank now the clutch is fitted one of the last work steps in assembling the four-cylinder engine when the engine has been fully assembled and sealed it is put on a test rig every drive unit must leave the plant having passed this cold test the technician attaches eight lines to the engine they will measure the air volume in the cylinders only when the cabin door has been closed can the test begin the engine is powered up electrically to 2,000 revs a minute in its interior all the components are now moving as they would in the combustion process the yellow hoses measure the air being sucked into the engine and then expelled in this way the intake of fuel and the expulsion of exhaust fumes are simulated this engine is sealed and functions flawlessly it has passed the cold test after two hours assembly is completed every opening is closed off with a safety cap to rule out any contamination of the sensitive engine two bolts are attached to the sides to enable the 58 kilogram block to be lifted by a crane the four-cylinder online engine will now be suspended from a hook and taken for a ride the lift provides access to a huge transport system under the roof of the workshop every engine built in Berlin first ends up in the loft installed up here is a complex overhead rail network the super bike engine travels fully automatically through the labyrinth to its weighting position hanging in this Depot are more than 600 engines for different types of motorcycles they are waiting to be installed on one of the plants assembly lines this engine block is on the way to its destination the double our assembly belt the chain hoist takes it back to the production shop this is the birth of a super bike 34 assembly stations and two hours later the motorbike will be ready at station number one the engine is connected to the exhaust system the automatic transport system dispatches a carriage the engine block is placed on it and secured the base is ready next to be fitted is the frame made of aluminum it weighs only 11 kilograms yet this lightweight is the motorbike supporting structure to cope with the huge force is occurring at nearly 300 kilometres an hour it has to be manufactured with extreme precision in the plant zone welding shop the forecast aluminium parts that make up the frame are positioned on the welding table the blank is turned and presented to the two welding robots the robots travel along the weld edges with millimeter precision at a temperature of 2,000 degrees the electric arc melts the welding wire and fills the gap between the components each seam is welded twice here of course we see a beautiful seam located beneath it is the main world the root seam which is actually crucial for the stability of the frame the robots can weld 40 Superbike frames a day yet despite their precision the machines are not infallible the main job is done by robots but since a robot always does the same thing the quality has to be checked by humans final inspection is always carried out by a person the robots are fast and extremely precise but because of their structure and size they cannot reach every corner of the construction these areas are then finished by experienced manual welders [Music] after being powder-coated the frame is given a serial number and a tight plate the black aluminum skeleton then moves on further to pre assembly here various lines and the wiring harness are installed the workers can't afford to lose any time the assembly line constantly needs replenishing the transport carriage with the double our engine is already waiting for the marriage this is where the frame and the engine are married as we say the aluminum bridge frame is slowly lowered on to the engine block the first fixing bolts are tightened married frame and engine enter the assembly line the carriage is continuously in motion many work steps are performed with the fitters walking alongside all the bolts that are tightened at this station have to meet high safety standards here we have a bolt connection that is clearly safety relevant the bolting is registered electronically so we can always refer back to the data bank to see if it was IO or n io io and ni o stand for in order and not in order io applies to a bolting whose measure torque meets the stipulated requirements if a bolt connection is registered as ni o the bike will get special treatment located at the center of the u-shaped production line is the pre assembly section it is here that certain units like the front fork are assembled and made available to workers on the conveyor belt for installation the fitter inserts the front wheel suspension in the aluminum frame here - every bolting is registered with a glance at the monitor the fitter checks that all the nuts have been tightened correctly in addition to the double are seven other motorbike models are manufactured on this assembly line during one shift the workers assemble various models completing up to 220 bikes each day if we laid out all the assembly points in a straight line it would be about 130 metres long that's 30 for basic assembly steps motorbikes have been built in spandau since 1969 but motorbike parts from the Berlin aircraft engine factory were already being delivered to Munich in the 1920s back then motorbikes were highly popular and a cheaper alternative to a motor car the sector boomed its technical innovations made BMW one of Germany's leading motorcycle manufacturers today the concern is the country's only major producer of motorbikes and faces stiff competition from Japan and the United States at the plant in Berlin the next important components are being assembled the rear swingarm and the suspension strut ensure stability on the road at assembly station 7 the aluminum swing arm is mounted just like the frame it was welded together beforehand in the plant the height can be adjusted during driving operation with little effort with a suspension travel of 120 millimeters the central strut is electronically adjustable and confussed be adapted to any road surface the hose for the air box is secured with a kind of surgical clamp the tools required for each operation are specifically stipulated the fitter amounts the air box and the engine it's the bikes long filtering and regulating the intake air for combustion in the cylinders for the next work step the lifting column moves upwards the aluminum swing arm is still naked the rear wheel is still being prepared for installation in the swing arm wedge-shaped torque dampers made of hard rubber are inserted in the hub they dampen the force created when driving off [Music] the chain sprocket with its 44 teeth seals the hub and is pressed in place [Music] the hoist saves the workers back and guides the 12 kilogram rear wheel into the swingarm in a perfect fit at 200 kilometres an hour the wheel will rotate 28 times a second the drive chain consists of high-grade steel that is super hard it at the same time elastic it is riveted hydraulically a mass producer like BMW also improves certain components and electronic systems in ongoing series production so the WR is constantly undergoing further development to achieve this above all the firm's engineers need data and experience obtained from practice that is why BMW cooperates with selected race teams like NRT 48 at the circuit in Ash's Latham and 8 hour races in progress NRT 48 is competing in the stock sport world championship with two double ARS the team has already practiced the pitstop hundreds of times the wheels are changed the tank filled and the bike roars off again in the stock sport class there is a ruling that is highly important for cooperation with BMW we compete with bikes that are virtually production models we are not allowed to modify the important components the frame of the arm the fork the engine and the intake silencer so our bikes have the original harness and original lights in other words 90% of the parts are original components from that perspective the customer rides the same motor bike we race with during the race the on-board computer records an enormous volume of data which in the pit is made visible on a laptop the cryptic diagrams and graphs provide information on the bikes weak spots so it's I'm looking at how the front wheel loses speed when it's in the air basically it's just to see whether the break has operating clearance during the season teams like NRT 48 drive hundreds of thousands of kilometers always pushing their super bikes to the limit their vast experience also influences production at the Berlin motorcycle plant where software updates or new electronic and engine settings will be implemented developments from the cooperation flow back into the factory in this way we ensure that our developments in the motorsport sector are an open source every customer private or professional can benefit from our experience the s1000 double r has been on the market since 2009 but it took tremendous efforts before the model could enter series production the development process lasted several years it all began in 2005 with a few pencil sketches what could a new super bike look like performance and design have to harmonize sporty handling characteristics have to function not only on the circuit but also in everyday traffic on ordinary roads from the finished draft a one-to-one clay model is produced which serves as a template for all later scans and installations [Music] then what is known as a fees model is milled weighing several tons this metal pattern will be the template for most of the components in subsequent series production at the same time the engine is mercilessly pushed to its limits on a dynamometer vibrations gear change behavior and temperatures are intensified to limits far beyond what a rider could cope with these tests provide important data for developers the double law reaches maximum performance of 199 horsepower at an engine speed of fourteen thousand three hundred rpm the prototypes also spend hundreds of hours in a wind tunnel at wind speeds of up to 300 kilometers an hour along with aerodynamic properties the temperature distribution on the machine is also optimized engine transmission and exhaust reach a temperature over a hundred degrees these parts can only be cooled by the headwind parafin trails make the flow lines visible the engineers test various fairings until they find the optimum balance between aerodynamics and cooling [Music] on the test circuit experience test riders then analyze the handling characteristics of the new double are [Music] it is here that electronic assistance systems like ABS and traction control are brought to series production readiness Aoife Sylvia epoch so let's go to a lobster I'm trying to tune the traction control so that a rider who is not so experienced will be able to handle the enormous engine performance so that when he opens the throttle coming out of a turn and the rear starts to drift slightly he doesn't take a tumble the prototype is then subjected to long distance tests on the circuit when they have determined the basic configuration of the double are the developers test camouflaged prototypes on public roads worldwide in their design and performance these bikes are the same as the future production models the special paintwork makes it hard to distinguish the shape of the bike on no account once the press catch wind of the new model and publish photographs prior to its market launch secrecy is still paramount over 60 test drivers put the bikes through their paces on all five continents and in all the world's climate zones since the super bike is to be sold worldwide it must function perfectly in all weathers and in all Road conditions in the end the prototypes will have been driven more than a million test kilometers four years after the first pencil stroke the Double R is officially launched up to 1800 new motorbikes are registered each year in Germany alone basic cost eighteen thousand euros the oldest tract at the motorcycle plant houses mechanical production a department of great importance this is where the most complex engine components are customized for assembly regardless of ethical philosophy each day around 4300 parts leave here for engine assembly this is where we manufacture the main components cylinder head crankcase con rods and crankshaft this place is the highest demands on staff and on the high-tech machines precision tolerances are within the micrometer range one thousandth of a millimeter a human hair is about 70 micrometers in size the human eye can still distinguish things between 30 and 40 micrometers but we have to work to precisely 3 micrometers that's the high performance precision you associate with Formula 1 one of the precision parts is the con rod each engine has four con rods which convert the up-and-down motion of the piston into the rotational movement of the crankshaft so these cast parts have to withstand enormous forces the blank is subjected to a series of work steps grinding drilling milling and reaming up to 2,000 con rods are manufactured here every day in the cracking machine the eye of the con rod is laser to create a predetermined breaking point a wedge then breaks into two halves through this special procedure perfect form closure is obtained we do this because a broken surface fits together superb ly one-to-one and that's what you need in top-class motor-racing every con rod passes through this fully automated measuring cell the robot weighs and measures the component with total precision just to remind you later the engine will have four con rods in shape and weight they must be almost identical otherwise powerful vibrations and imbalance could become manifest when the bike is on the road so here the con rods are categorized and sorted according to weight class the manufacturer of high-performance components has a long tradition at BMW the first motorcycle is produced in 1923 from then on motorbikes got faster and faster in 1929 on a BMW WR 750 factory driver ants jakob henna set a world speed record of 216 point 7 5 kilometers per hour [Music] in the years that followed henna said another six world records for the firm the last one in 1937 when he reached two hundred and seventy nine point five kilometers on a BMW 500 compress aura but the young motorcycle manufacturing company also became involved in team sport and in doing so underlined the suitability of its products for everyday use [Music] the mechanical production department also manufactures the Superbikes crankshaft again with micrometer accuracy the cast blank is first turned to shape on a lathe when the cheeks have been turned the shaft enters a vortex milling machine the bearing surfaces have to be perfectly round in order to absorb the enormous motive forces this is where the four cracked con rods will grip later and accelerate the shaft to a speed of fourteen thousand three hundred revs per minutes when the gear wheels have all been milled and all the holes for the oil circulation system had been drilled in the crankshaft it is d bird and cleaned with high-pressure jets [Music] a fully automatic washing robot then takes up the contaminated crankshaft inside the washing chamber the shaft is first given a hot full bath [Music] water at a pressure of 600 bar then Devers every millimeter of the component after a minute the crankshaft is squeaky clean [Music] at a temperature of over 600 degrees nitrogen is introduced into the surface of the shaft in a hardening oven the crankshaft is now extremely solid but at the same time flexible when it is cooled the shaft is ground the automatic grinder too works to an accuracy of one thousandth of a millimeter at Germany's only motorcycle factory 110 crankshafts are manufactured per shift [Music] back to the conveyor belts after 45 minutes the structure already looks like a motorbike it is now filled with coolant this task too is performed automatically the unit performs a vacuum test to ensure that the cooling circuit is leak proof then the vehicle is filled with the coolant while the coolant is flowing the speedometer with its integrated onboard computer is installed in the handlebars together with the engine control unit they are the Superbikes brain and monitor its functions the machine is now past the midpoint of the assembly line hundreds of individual parts have been installed by a dozen fitters quality control now ensures that no part has been forgotten or installed incorrectly inspection is still carried out by experienced staff but now they are supported by high-tech robots these two robot arms subject the bike to close scrutiny here we have a so-called MRK quality gate that's a human robot collaboration the robot also takes on individual control activities like checking that the correct rear wheel the correct kickstand and so on have been installed the robot compares the structure with photos from the huge data bank the sports bike is half completed induction coils laid in the workshop floor guide the driverless transport carriage at walking speed the double are heads for the second half of the assembly line filters on the last sixty five meters of the conveyor belt are responsible for the fuel tank the fairing and the electronic system the air intake is fitted to the front section it's through this duct that the gas engine breathes it's now that the double R is also given its distinctive face the synthetic cockpit with it's asymmetrical light system looks a bit scary the fitters work in high speed but also with great concentration nobody can afford to make a mistake especially when as in this case the ABS system is attached the engine and the airbox are the heart and lungs of the bike now it's the brains turn via a data transfer unit the on-board computer receives its software that takes a while so the unit remains connected to the machine through the end of the assembly process [Music] next the exhaust system is bolted on the men have only a specific time window for each work step the motorcycle Factory in Berlin runs like a well-oiled machine and machines need fuel the double R has a seventeen point five liter gas tank since it is made entirely of aluminum it weighs only two kilograms the welding robots have produced the tank from three separate parts the seams must not be bulky but they must be absolutely leak proof like every component coming from the welding robots these tanks too are finished by human hand this lady handles 50 fuel tanks a day her rotatable welding table enables her to reach every spot with ease basically I do what the robber doesn't manage to do like welding the small tubes and all the spots the Robert can't get to her biggest challenge is the aluminum the tank is made of its wafer thin walls are only 1.5 millimeters thick so melt holes have to be avoided at all costs they would immediately turn the tank into scrap after 10 minutes this particular fuel tank is ready the manual welders need to be highly qualified and have a lot of feeling this is Champions League stuff each tank then has to be checked for leaks the fuel tanks are filled with air in a special immersion basin containing distilled water since excess pressure is created inside each tank any hole in the aluminum shell will result in air escaping and creating tiny bubbles the 3d ultrasonic survey head searches for any such bubbles and approves or rejects the tank accordingly these two candidates are fine and can be released for assembly the clean and degrease tanks are placed on a frame from here on everything again takes place fully automatically the containers and to the paint booth to be given their first coating after two minutes the eight tanks are blue and end up on this colleagues table to be prepared for the next coding but now certain areas have to be protected from the white paint this area has to be taped and this area painted white so she will cover the places in the tank that have to remain blue the red template provides her with fixed points for sticking the protective film but first she sprays them with water so that their position can be corrected slightly after our application I wet the tape a little then put it in place on the marking the tape the protective masking is slowly stuck on the tank it mustn't bubble or crease because later the red stripe will remain on the fuel tank as a decorative element during spraying the red film protects the upper side and the tank opening from the white paint it takes only a few minutes to mask the tank the masking is now finished and the tank is prepared for the second color along with seven others the tank now heads back into the spraying booth where a robot sprays it white in less than 120 seconds when the paint is dried the tank is given a layer of clear varnish on the assembly belt the painted lightweight tank is attached to the bike storing fuel is not the tanks only role because of its special shape it also gives the rider stability on difficult bends this can be crucial especially on a racetrack in OSHA's Laban the qualifying race for the 8-hour event is underway the private team nrt 48 is refueling here the fuel tank is not standard we can modify the tank we're allowed to have up to 24 litres so we have altered the basic original 17 litre tank to take 24 litres the team consists of one male and one female rider who alternate every 40 or 60 minutes but there seems to be something wrong with the bike at first there was nothing then just a little bit the input from the riders is tremendously important the brake isn't working properly it needs to be replaced the team dismantled the brake calipers on the front wheel and replaced them with a new set shortly before the long-distance race begins other parts on the Double R need to be replaced this involves removing the underbody protection along with the front fairing and the tank container the men need access to the radiator I will be vixen it's not mine we're exchanging the radiator on this bike once again at the moment it has a used radiator on it that has already been through one 24-hour race it's a routine operation for us we always have new material or material that's as good as new simply to rule out any source of error the coolant circuit of a racing bike is filled with water so in the event of damage no oily substances can contaminate the surface of the track and cause other riders to skid the old radiator is replaced with a new one [Applause] finally the nrt 48 the two riders and the double are hit the track for eight hours they will lap the three point seven kilometer long circuit in the battle for vital points towards the Superstock World Championship despite all the effort victory has eluded the team still the experience and the data gained over the weekend will benefit many riders on public roads Germany's only motorcycle Factory in Berlin - there on the finishing straight now the super bikes 13 fairing parts are being assembled they give the Machine its unmistakable appearance some parts are not quite finished this side fairing comes with a special sticker it tells every road user here comes a double are if the tape is okay no bubbles or creases I usually rub it down ever so lightly when it's finished it is once again given a full coat of clear varnish in the paint booth the side element enters the fully automated spring booth for a third time first blue then white and now clear varnish [Music] then the part is dried this takes about an hour at the BMW plant in Spandau 6000 fairing components for all types of 2 wheelers are varnished everyday every completed part then has a chip stuck to it together with the barcode on the transport tray the part can be clearly identified irrespective of its location before the two side fairing set off on a long trip they are scanned and registered within the system the tablet enters the plants fully automated storage system the transport belt is several hundred meters long and runs over several floors like a road network it supplies specific workplaces with the necessary parts often the initial destination is the huge high base door it is 37 meters high on 18,000 storage places 90,000 components are waiting to be sent for further finishing down below the almost completed superbike now has the finishing line in sight it is already leaving the u-shaped assembly line the machine is now roadworthy but it still lacks important fluids here that changes at the media loading station the brand new motorbike is primed brake fluid is forced into the rear and front brakes the oil circulation system is filled and some fuel added to the tank after about four minutes the machine has been supplied with the basic fluids now the super bike heads for the finish belt where it is given its final appearance the side parts the windshield two mirrors and the mudguard are installed [Music] the Double R is now complete the driverless carriage takes the motor bike to the roller testbench over the last two hours a super bike of outstanding quality has been built from thousands of individual parts it has an engine output of 199 horsepower and an engine capacity of almost 1 liter the six-speed transmission gives the Double R a top speed of 299 kilometers an hour maximum torque is 113 Newton meters depending on how the bike is handled consumption is between 6 and 8 liters of gas per 100 kilometers with a tank full of fuel the double are weighs around 200 kilograms in its short life the bike has already experienced one marriage now it even faces separation separation from the transport carriage takes seconds from now on the double r will proceed on its own two wheels the driverless carriage goes straight back to the assembly line where new engine block is already waiting on the roller test bench the bike is pushed to the limit the test rider accelerates to 140 kilometres an hour and goes through all six gears all the bikes functions are checked in line with a strict test report brakes clutch indicators and lights all have to work perfectly otherwise the machine will not leave the plant in their own words the experienced testers can tell through the seat of their pants whether a bike is running smoothly the works has eight of these test cabins where up to six hundred two wheelers of all kinds are tested every day a driver my tests as many as forty vehicles on one shift the data connection is cut the motorcycle has been technically approved the double R is a complex high-performance vehicle with a powerful internal combustion engine in the foreseeable future other propulsion systems like electric motors will play a major role that is why BMW is already looking to the future with a concept vehicle and showing what a motorbike could one day look like emission-free drive units on an electric or fuel cell basis will be standard they might not have the same throaty roar as a combustion engine but a sound system could stimulate the sound of a racing machine where safety is concerned there will be many new developments this concept bike is equipped with the gyroscopic sensor designed to make a tumble impossible but the technical highlight will be the networking of driver motorcycle and environment I can imagine that motorcycling in the future will have a lot to do with connectivity the vision is that all vehicles and road traffic will permanently exchange information on their position and speed collisions would then be foreseeable and thus preventable if a car detects a rock on the road the motorcyclist will see that at once on his display so we're talking about communications between a motorcycle and car with a car being braked automatically if the driver hasn't spotted the motorcyclist these things will undoubtedly come in the future assistant systems like these data glasses reflect all important information into the driver's field of vision so there's no need for a glance the speedometer or the rearview mirror another dream is that in future there will be no need for helmets either because special motorcycle clothing will contain airbags and next stabilizers but with so many visions no doubt many bikers will already be wondering just where the kick is supposed to come from [Music] well maybe it's still possible to find a double are lying around in some garage or other this one is still hot from being tested on the roller test rig so it's put in a giant fridge the bike has to cool otherwise the packing film could melt on the hot engine or the exhaust and stick it takes the machine just thirty seconds to pass through the cooling tunnel [Music] most of the bikes head off to the customer and recyclable packing the metal frame is reinforced with wooden lathes the order and delivery forms are stapled on and after a final control look the machine leaves in 95 seconds the rapping machine envelops the transport frame in a tear resistant film a labeling machine then gives the final goodbye kiss three hours after the first work step on the assembly belt the BMW s1000 double R is loaded onto a truck it is taken by road to the nearest Goods station container ship or airport depending on where in the world its new owners waiting for it in the meantime work continues on the 130 meter long assembly line day after day two thousand people and countless robots produced two wheelers made in Germany eight hundred motorcycles and scooters are manufactured here every day at Germany's only motorcycle plant

The lady applying the stickers has hands down, the most stressful job there

[u/amgin3]

This came up in my recommended videos on Youtube and thought it was very interesting. Shows the complete assembly of a motorcycle in the factory.

[u/caperberrywhite]

My wife and I both ride. We’ve got two kids (2&5)and they will love this. We’ve been spoon feeding them motorcycles since birth.

[u/just1mic]

Thanks for sharing, I love my RR!!!

100% know what I'm watching tonight

[u/roesham3oe]

there's no way this factory is bigger than Honda's

[u/rednwhitecooper]

The mini documentary on the C evolution production was pretty neat, too.
