New machines are arriving to jDrones office.
What is it, we will se in following weeks. But as a hint there are some details that we can share now for it:
- It's 3.000 Kg heavy
- It's 2.7m tall, 1 meter wide and 2.8 meters long
- It uses electricity (and a lot)
- It's rather silent
With the machine we can really change many of our products to be better and better. It won't get tired on new parts.
Let's start guessing what it might be.
There are few people that already know what it is and we do not accept guesses from those, you all know who i mean :)
So who will be first one to guess what is our new mystery machine???

@Matt: yeah, I also think it is a big 3D printer.
@Jani: Congratulations!!! (whatever it is...rsrs)

Comment by Jared S on December 27, 2012 at 9:11am Wave solder is my guess but I would think they would be longer. Maybe just an oven. Both are quiet. Injection mold machines are loud (air lines, big moving parts, and such) aren't they?

Comment by Drone Savant on December 27, 2012 at 10:35am Congrats on the new Maytag Washing Machine

Lots of clues.
Assuming you meant 3000 kg not 3kg so 6600lb.
That's actually pretty heavy for a Wave solder machine of this size, could be though.
Also heavy for a vacuum forming machine or a reflow oven.
Machine tool, CNC lathe, except decidedly not quiet.
Wrong shape for Water Jet also not quiet.
Could be an EDM but my guess is thats a little out of your job description.
Primary guess injection molding machine.
Secondary guess really heavy duty CNC laser except usually not all that quiet due to fan.
If it was a flux capacitor as suggested above, you could simply go forward in time and steal the technology you haven't invented yet from yourselves and bring it back and make it, so that would certainly let you make many of your products better. So very outside shot at flux capacitor.
