This large, impressive machine is used for precisely machining the trunnion bearings of 16" barbette side rails. It operates by securely holding the part in place while various mechanical arms and tools meticulously shape and smooth the metal surfaces. The machine ensures that the bearings are perfectly aligned and fitted, critical for the functionality and durability of the barbette cannon. Its size and complexity reflect the importance of precision in this heavy-duty industrial task.
It also makes a fun ride.
