Chicago P.D. Episode tonight (WED Jan. 14)

[drewiv]

In case anyone is interested they filmed a scene of Chicago P.D. in my plant and it will air this evening [10/e 9/c] on NBC. It's only a 2-3 minute scene, it will be the scene with the double action draw presses turning (presses with big gears). Here are the shots from the scene filmed here.

We do deep drawn metal stampings. Basically, taking a flat piece of metal (steel, aluminum, stainless, copper, etc.) and stamping it into a bucket/can type thing.

Stuff like this:

The first pic is of a motor cover. The second pic is of an oil filter housing. The third pic is after the first operation of the HMMWV (Humvee) air filter housing.

No problem. Thanks for being interested in something so boring. :lol:

I'm endlessly occupied in finding out how things are made and how they work. I'd rather do that than watch the Superbowl. Yeah, I'm odd.
