Transcript
Flip a switch. Electricity. Very convenient of everyone involved.
Behind energy systems are physical components: shafts, housings, valves and many other parts. Their production can involve machining alongside casting, forging and other processes.
The suitable machine depends on the component, material and requirements. ‘Energy industry’ is not a single part number.
Some components are large. Some are small. Being enormous isn't a substitute for being correct.
I say that as an enormous dinosaur in an unusually well-fitted suit.
The next time you see energy equipment, ask what had to be manufactured to make it work.
Follow those questions at Machine Blue Book.
