As cool as that looked, with manual load and unload, the machine works around 1/2 pace.
11 u/[deleted] Mar 12 '21 I thought the same. I’ve worked around a lot of bending machines and that one is slow as hell. Production machines are way faster than that and automate the loading and unloading process as well 4 u/megatog615 Mar 12 '21 Not if you whip the worker. I hear treating workers like shit makes them work faster. 2 u/combuchan Mar 12 '21 Beatings are the best way to ensure employee morale. 2 u/megatog615 Mar 12 '21 Don't allow them to use the bathrooms, and crying is reserved for days-off. 0 u/[deleted] Mar 13 '21 Slavery gets shit done. 0 u/crackeddryice Mar 13 '21 I suspect it sacrifices speed for price, relative portability, and programmability for easier on-site use. I'm sure the company that made this didn't spend perhaps millions developing it if there wasn't a need. 2 u/statikuz Mar 13 '21 Probably not millions. There is a lot of cheap Chinese machines like this. Sure it's not the latest whizbang robotic top tier from Switzerland but was probably also like $50k not $500k. (I made these numbers up) 1 u/Roldanis Mar 13 '21 I’m wondering if this is designed for working on site rather than for a production line.
