The next time that you think your job is crappy....

[Engineer]

Try working as an "operator" on a Chinese stamping press.

For anyone (Gibson, spidey and Cad) who knows about stamping presses, all I can say is WTF and wow.

This is NOT OSHA approved, lol.

 

[bfdd]

lol NO FUCKING WAY. haha tbh though I've worked with some old guys who would of told me that's how they used to do things here. i've worked around some big fuckin machinery, all i can think is "awesome".

 

[chusteczka]

Wow, I did not expect that.

 

[brainhulk]

thats what happens when you have too many pok gai's and not enough time

 

[Leros]

That is terrifying. I would feel uncomfortable being in arm's length of that machine while operating.

So next to lead, I now have to worry about pressed chinaman the next time I purchase a bucket at Home Depot?

 

[dud]

I now feel MUCH better about my job ...

Thank you!

Just the partially red painted buckets.:awe:

Why would you care? There's 65 bazillion Chinese. If one gets killed, there are 34 billion waiting to take his place.

 

[Kadarin]

You'd think they could easily automate all that.

That's the thing about China... Even if you're a one-in-a-million kind of guy, there's still a thousand other guys out there just like you...

 

[Engineer]

Why? It's cheaper just to use the Chinese labor. One gets broken, throw him/her out and get another (usually waiting at the door).

They could.

 

[PottedMeat]

goddammit. WORK FASTER!

 

[Engineer]

goddammit. WORK FASTER!

Turn up the speed of the press....and they will. I guarantee it!

 

[Slacker]

its obvious the machine is designed to seat children and they just put those guys in there for the video.

 

[Sukhoi]

They could.

Automation is a PITA. The part transfer fingers always get knocked out of position. Using cheap labor is much better.

 

[moparacer]

They all look thrilled to be participating too.

Use a suction cup with an automated arm?

It'd be pretty fast...

Robot breaks - nothing happens when you hit/yell at it.
Cheap Labor fails to meet quota - cries when you hit/yell/fire it.

winner - cheap labor.

but wouldn't yield 6 jobs per machine. they're paid peanuts, but it's 6 jobs on the books.

You wouldn't need a robot anyway. Some sort of mechanical linked transfer system would be cheaper and much easier than a robot solution. But again, just use a bunch of Chinese guys at $0.08 to $0.20 per hour and be done with it. Break Chinese robot, replace with ease.

 

[Patranus]

thank god for OSHA

Why, because China has all of the manufacturing jobs now?

 

[DrPizza]

Doesn't look that risky. Seems like there was plenty of time and adequate space. But, as slacker pointed out above, even more space for children & a task that children should be able to handle easily.
