Very heavy. Especially the mill-turn. It‘s about 40,000 lbs. Have to level it with a 30mm open end wrench with a long piece of pipe, and a Porta-power. It takes about three weeks just to dial in the accuracy. That‘s not counting all the other stuff.
complicated is an understatement.

I've done high precision horizontal and vertical control networks for millwrights when they set up precision equipment, mainly automotive factories.
Not easy for you guys, complicated machinery that weighs a ton, and you're trying to bring it within a few hundredths over long distances.
OP
The closest thing that I have ever done was to build a couple of MRI rooms that had a large number of issues, and a removable wall to set the machinery , and equipment, nothing like what you have going on.
Thanks

I know, look at that stuff. Better him than me.
I'll show that to my buddy that thinks his plasma table in his garage is high tech.

Same here. Built for and Wired a lot of CT, Heart Catheter and Radiation gear but never the technical/precision set up on any of them. They always use whoever they buy the equipment from to do the setups and start ups. We just do the mule work to make it turn on lol.
Done quite a bit of Sewage Treatment plants too. Absolutely amazing how much work and machinery it takes to flush a turd lol
OP
Yea I have no idea on how it all goes together or where you plug it in , but we had to work on a Sunday , to get them the access needed to open the temporary wall, after they moved it all in to close it back up under the very watchful eye of the state inspectors making sure we are not cutting any corners, lol

I'm dealing with either thousandths of a millimeter (.001mm), or ten thousandths of an inch (.0001").
Accuracy for the mill-turn leveling is .002mm over one meter.
One of the five axis verticals is done. Waiting on parts for the other. Starting accuracy tests of the three flatbeds today. Will jump back on the mill-turn after the tech from Chicago leaves Thursday afternoon.

Fun times lol.

If I had to work with those tolerances I would be fired.

I had a foreman who once said " my tape measure only reads 1/4" or more" lol

Kudos Mitch, You are da Man when it comes to good hard carpenter, builder work.
SG JOHN just cooks my noodle at all the Gizmo knowledge he has to handle.
Looks like we have quite the crowd of hard workin fellas for sure. Vox AC30 is like me and Mitch, construction wise. Here's to everyone who puts in the time to do all they can to make ends meet.

When I retired our current 5 year project was working at 14nm
not sure about the Nm's Dono, but my tape reads to 1/16ths. But my eye used to read to 32 nds and sometimes 64ths with a sharp pencil.

One of my old bosses rebuilt his kitchen in the winter when we were slow. He thought carpenters were hacks, and decided to build the kitchen to machinist tolerances instead of the 1/8" to 1/4" used by carpenters. The first humid day in March, he had to bust apart everything with a sledge hammer and start over because everything was sealed tight.
