How The Giga Press Gives Tesla An Unfair Advantage In The Car Industry!

with an estimated weight of 5 space shuttles and inspired by kids toy cars the Giga press machine is the first ever of its species at the time and boasts a clamping power of 55 000 to 61 000 kilonewtons which is quite impressive beforehand Tesla has been manufacturing the model y vehicle with a sole rear body part that displays 70 various parts in the electric car that happened to be the automaker's first crucial walk into big cast pieces and the company has been steadily putting money into large casting machinery for quite some time the automation company has already taken deliveries of numerous more large casting engines at Giga Texas also Tesla has begun production of the model Y at gigafactory Texas with front and back Soul casting this strategy has extensively facilitated the company's body shops thereby getting the number of robots per unit of creation volume down considerably to have more knowledge of how this casting Machinery functions Tesla has released remarkable new footage of a huge huge cast piece moving out of the Giga press Tesla is putting it all on for the giant casting technology in early 2022 idra teased a brand new 9 000 pound Giga press that would seize the crown as the biggest Giga press in the world regarding Tesla's alliance with idra a rumor that the new Giga press would be for Tesla again spread like wildfire Tech Giant Elon Musk has long verified that the Giga press would be utilized for the body of the Cyber truck at Giga Texas therefore since the company has been going on that path many other automation companies have been reported to reach out to edra and even other producers of casting machines for the same thing nevertheless Tesla is understood to have a crucial benefit since they've been operating on this machinery for quite some time now an equally formulated new Alloys for better functioning with bigger cast pieces the idra initiated Tesla's gigapress in the late months of 2018. the gigapress has subsisted in their record ever since however it was just until later in 2020 that the company he began utilizing a custom-made ol6100 CS gigapress machine for creation regardless the idra group had previously declared on the company website the initial request was for a 5500 ton high pressure die casting machine back in 2019 the president of automative at Tesla Incorporated Jerome Gillen equally expressed that they were operating on a giant giant giant machine to create full-size cars in the same way that toy cars were made in mid-2020 CEO Elon Musk indicated that the company had purchased two enormous die molding machines to produce structured pieces for the model y by August 2020 he posted a tweet asserting that it was the biggest casting machine ever made by January 2021 the tech CEO equally declared that the back frames of the Cyber truck would be cast making use of a Tesla Giga press that has more than 8 000 ton clamping power also the automaker has triumphantly fixed two gigapress machines in the Fremont Factory and three gigapress machines at the Berlin Factory we believe that more automakers would make use of Tesla's Giga press machine in the near future to ramp up their generation efficiency Tesla's Giga press machine is more of a die molding setup than an ordinary automobile it is furnished with all kinds of systems and devices that are needed in a die molding procedure the parts in the gigapress machine are the ovens Tesla's gigapress makes use of two pairs of ovens to deal with aluminum alloy the first oven works as a liquefying oven fueled by raw gas and runs at 850 degrees Celsius temperature the other oven then reserves the melted metal warmed up by electrical energy and runs at 750 degrees Celsius to 850 degrees Celsius temperature the core Giga press this is the heart of the entire structure or the die molding instrument it equally has a comparable structure to any ordinary high pressure die casting tool and works like one the only difference is the magnitude the vacuum tank Tesla's gigapress machine makes use of a 4000 liter tank for making space inside the structure it is produced by Fonda Rex a company located in Switzerland that created the vacuum machinery for the function of high pressure die molding the quenching tank this part quickly reduces the molding temperature to a suitable extent it allows one to accomplish certain attributes for metal casting technical specifications in the Giga press here you go there are many gigapress prototypes and volumes and capacities That Vary we would talk about the technical specifications of Tesla's Giga press machines model ol6200cs and model ol5500cs produced by the edra presently the only locations to have put in or planned to install Tesla's Giga press machine are the company's plan situated at Fremont and three other gigafactories situated in Texas Shanghai and Berlin let's go into details about these locations Fremont the initial 2 gigabress machines to be manufactured were established in the automaker's Fremont plan the practice task for establishing the initial aluminum molding machine called the dcm1 started as timely as May of 2020 the automation company had attained numerous licenses from Fremont to assemble the needed housing structures for dcm1 building job of Tesla's dcm1 structure was finished by August of 2020. a month later in September of 2020 the company began experiments for shaping Tesla's model-wise Heinz structure in one piece utilizing the initial gig press machine by then the dcm2 structure was also finished the gigabras machines located in Fremont were doing quite well but An Occurrence raised alarms on the 11th of March 2020 when fire gushed one of the gigapress machines while the procedure was going on Shanghai Tesla established three gigapress machines in the Shanghai plan equally known as gigafactory 3 or Giga Shanghai the trial work began by the last few months of 2019 and was completed by October of 2020. Tesla's gigapress machines at gigashanghai were produced by LK machinery and they called it the impress Plus dcc6000 the Germany plan the automaker commenced trial work for accommodating eight six thousand one hundred ton Giga press machines at the plant in Berlin called gigafactory 4 or Giga Berlin the piling job for Tesla's gigapress machines commenced in mid-2020 and was completed by 2021. the automaker was hoping to transmit two gigapress machines to Berlin by the beginning of 2021. gigafactory 4 die casting machines would concentrate on the creation of Tesla's European model y Vehicles they would have a few differences distinguishing the other models and operators from the front and hind structure for Tesla's model y Vehicles by utilizing them some advantages of Tesla's Giga press gigapress machines would largely enhance the creation efficiency of big and detailed products the gigapress machines would enable plants to cast a big sole Factor as contradicted to several smaller fractions thus it would practically eradicate the assembly procedures affected therefore there would be tremendous reservations in labor time and ultimately the expensive creation casting a bigger Soul piece would enable the factory to manufacture a compact layout and impart more power to the casting casting a soul part will equally abolish the chance of alignment problems of components while building it would facilitate rate control and enable factories to deliver quality castings also it would reduce the demand for robots in the creation and considerably decrease the size of the body shop so there would be conservation of land presently the main area of use in Tesla's Giga press machine appears to be automobile castings vehicles have detailed systems and are constructed utilizing several smaller components reducing the volume to a limited amount of castings will shockingly improve creation efficiency currently Tesla is acting on molding the hind body layout of its model y vehicle making use of its gigapress machine it would displace 70 fractions of mold in a sole part the automaker is intending to form the front structure part by making use of Tesla's gigapress are you getting ready for more news about the Giga press of course you are everyone is so what do you think of the gigapress and its components and features don't forget to click on the like button subscribe if you haven't and ring that Bell icon to get notified about more videos like this one thanks for watching see you next time [Music] foreign
