We have a machine at work that has a German milling head.
It's uh. Very German. So German that when we sent it out for a rebuild, nobody in CONTUS would warranty their work because the built in spindle motor windings were potted in cast aluminum, reason being it was a heat sink as well as winding protection.
Holy fuck the process control needed to pot motor windings with molten aluminum. Fucking why are their enginerds dead set on doing it that way. That way leads to madness.
So anyway the boss couldn't buy his new truck for work because we had to import a new spindle.
They potted motor windings with molten aluminum? How did that not burn off all of the insulation on the windings?
I don't know.
It was some type of enamel rather than varnish.
I wish I owned these bois prior to the OG weekendgunnit being scuttled. That'd have been nice. I imagine all the shitposting I could have done with these.
This is better than onlyfans. 🤤
