Dance of Swans

A piece of mech prose

I know you. I’ve never met you, but I know you because we are the same. We are both imperfect angels made by man. Made to pilot these mechanised chassis made for nothing but perfect violence. I look at you through the glass eyes of my robotic second skin. We are the same, imperfect angels for perfect violence.

And as I reach forward, there is sensation! Sensation as I swing down upon your own metallic form a sword made to cleave apart empire’s, and you weave out of the way, your metal legs, made to bound across infinity.

Our bodies aren’t bodies. Gears and servos, turning in perfect harmony, to symphony of our cold fusion reactor hearts, roaring, screaming, singing, all at the same time as we boost forward. Skin made from the hearts of planets, and internal workings, churning, toiling. Sensors and cameras instead of eyes, letting us see far beyond what our forever marred by alteration flesh could ever let us. Instead of shot nerves and veins we have power lines, veins of electricity, liquid firing powering us now. Steel bones and titanium skin, electric blood and instead of gnashing teeth and claws, we have been given weapons of fire and blade. If these are not our bodies, what are these? Are these simply just our coffin?

Together we move yet opposed we act. The law of blood and steel is pushing us forward. We could not pay for our steel so we paid with our body and blood. Our arms actuate, like tendons and muscles pulling, aiming our guns at each other’s heads.

Our new bodies let us move meteoric like the messengers of the gods, searing blind those who are not worthy to gaze upon us as we leave death and civlity’s end in our wake. Homes and cathederals turned to rubble and ash from our waltz. Lives reduced to mere numbers as the result of our deadly dance, a ballroom gala of violence, with a chandelier of bullets, bodies and buildings. Our forms locked in an eternal clash but for a moment. Blades and guns clashing and locking together

In an immaculate dance of swans we are one but yet separate, imperfect creatures of a perfect blasphemous violence, that only our heretical bodies would allow, made from steel and lightning and man’s own god complex hubris, we are angels made by god to fight and be forgotten about when our task is done, and yet none of us has yet to become lucifer, lucent and reticent and all the ready to fight for their ideals, instead of fighting for their masters who call us dogs. Until the morning star rises, we shall be trapped under the eternal night skies, with a field of stars littered above, locked in our eternal dance of swans

Optimus’ blue optics flickered on after unknowable amount of time after being cocooned. Mercifully, he was no longer restrained in his alt mode in organic material which borderlined trauma-inducing. The repair crew leader did unfortunately realize he was restrained in his own grappling cables. His servos were tied behind his back along with his pedes being tangled. Forcing him to crouch—the cable lightly dug into his wrist joints.

It sufficed to say that attempting to struggle loose would make every single movement very uncomfortable. Optimus thought he was underground given the massive tree roots, but the silk lining the area could mean a cocoon.

…Carved energon pockets let him see.

He tried to comm for help or at least get his location out—only to receive static back. Great, Dart went a step beyond in jamming comm links too. This was a large overhaul of the tests they administered to his team months ago.

Optimus hoped Elita would be okay.

—————————————

Everyone excluding the Elite Guard geared up and rolled out to follow the last trace of Optimus’ signal. No one knew exactly who had managed to nab him, but recent events led to an obvious suspect. The repair crew ended up having to off-road a bit until they were met with a pretty paradoxical sight. A swathe of burnt down forest yet a massively tall tree grew above it. More of a valley cradling the odd growth.

Nestled within the branches was what looked like a massive cocoon… Bumblebee managed to pick up Optimus signal dead ahead of them.

“Alright, Boss Bot has got to be in that thing. All we got to do is bust it open and get out here, easy peasy.” He remarked though the sheer climb was going to be rough on his limbs.

…

…

As if in response to his remark, the cocoon split open as massive wings came out first. Those wings fluttered sending glowing green material down across the valley… Ground beneath everyone’s pedes rumbled as what turned out to be a massive moth emerged from it. They continued fluttering out spores, clouds being moved overhead by the force of the flapping.

Plant life burst out of the ground rapidly as well as an overcast began raining down on the repair crew. Bumblebee really regretted his words.

“You just had to say something, kid!” Ratchet scolded over the comms while everyone transformed out of alt mode. Several different plants kept growing until the trees towered over even Bulkhead. Grass tickled between joints.

The moth skittered down the tree—the cocoon reduced to silk in the wind completely empty.

—ROB’d Anon.

Yes, Dart planned their emergence as Chakra for the moment someone said it would be easy. They’ve developed a rather dramatic demeanor when they feel up to preparing.

Also, welcome to the jungle Autobots.

The most trollish thing Dart could do is play jungle themed songs like Welcome To The Jungle by ACDC, lol. It would absolutely throw the bots through a loop that this supposed guardian is into human music.

CNC development history and processing principles

CNC machine tools are also called Computerized Numerical Control (CNC for short). They are mechatronics products that use digital information to control machine tools. They record the relative position between the tool and the workpiece, the start and stop of the machine tool, the spindle speed change, the workpiece loosening and clamping, the tool selection, the start and stop of the cooling pump and other operations and sequence actions on the control medium with digital codes, and then send the digital information to the CNC device or computer, which will decode and calculate, issue instructions to control the machine tool servo system or other actuators, so that the machine tool can process the required workpiece.

‌1. The evolution of CNC technology: from mechanical gears to digital codes

The Beginning of Mechanical Control (late 19th century - 1940s)

The prototype of CNC technology can be traced back to the invention of mechanical automatic machine tools in the 19th century. In 1887, the cam-controlled lathe invented by American engineer Herman realized "programmed" processing for the first time by rotating cams to drive tool movement. Although this mechanical programming method is inefficient, it provides a key idea for subsequent CNC technology. During World War II, the surge in demand for military equipment accelerated the innovation of processing technology, but the processing capacity of traditional machine tools for complex parts had reached a bottleneck.

The electronic revolution (1950s-1970s)

After World War II, manufacturing industries mostly relied on manual operations. After workers understood the drawings, they manually operated machine tools to process parts. This way of producing products was costly, inefficient, and the quality was not guaranteed. In 1952, John Parsons' team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) developed the world's first CNC milling machine, which input instructions through punched paper tape, marking the official birth of CNC technology. The core breakthrough of this stage was "digital signals replacing mechanical transmission" - servo motors replaced gears and connecting rods, and code instructions replaced manual adjustments. In the 1960s, the popularity of integrated circuits reduced the size and cost of CNC systems. Japanese companies such as Fanuc launched commercial CNC equipment, and the automotive and aviation industries took the lead in introducing CNC production lines. 

Integration of computer technology (1980s-2000s)

With the maturity of microprocessor and graphical interface technology, CNC entered the PC control era. In 1982, Siemens of Germany launched the first microprocessor-based CNC system Sinumerik 800, whose programming efficiency was 100 times higher than that of paper tape. The integration of CAD (computer-aided design) and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) software allows engineers to directly convert 3D models into machining codes, and the machining accuracy of complex surfaces reaches the micron level. During this period, equipment such as five-axis linkage machining centers came into being, promoting the rapid development of mold manufacturing and medical device industries.

Intelligence and networking (21st century to present)

The Internet of Things and artificial intelligence technologies have given CNC machine tools new vitality. Modern CNC systems use sensors to monitor parameters such as cutting force and temperature in real time, and use machine learning to optimize processing paths. For example, the iSMART Factory solution of Japan's Mazak Company achieves intelligent scheduling of hundreds of machine tools through cloud collaboration. In 2023, the global CNC machine tool market size has exceeded US$80 billion, and China has become the largest manufacturing country with a production share of 31%.

2. CNC machining principles: How code drives steel

The essence of CNC technology is to convert the physical machining process into a control closed loop of digital signals. Its operation logic can be divided into three stages:

Geometric Modeling and Programming

After building a 3D model using CAD software such as UG and SolidWorks, CAM software “deconstructs” the model: automatically calculating parameters such as tool path, feed rate, spindle speed, and generating G code (such as G01 X100 Y200 F500 for linear interpolation to coordinates (100,200) and feed rate 500mm/min). Modern software can even simulate the material removal process and predict machining errors.

Numerical control system analysis and implementation

The "brain" of CNC machine tools - the numerical control system (such as Fanuc 30i, Siemens 840D) converts G codes into electrical pulse signals. Taking a three-axis milling machine as an example, the servo motors of the X/Y/Z axes receive pulse commands and convert rotary motion into linear displacement through ball screws, with a positioning accuracy of up to ±0.002mm. The closed-loop control system uses a grating ruler to feedback position errors in real time, forming a dynamic correction mechanism.

Multi-physics collaborative control

During the machining process, the machine tool needs to coordinate multiple parameters synchronously: the spindle motor drives the tool to rotate at a high speed of 20,000 rpm, the cooling system sprays atomized cutting fluid to reduce the temperature, and the tool changing robot completes the tool change within 0.5 seconds. For example, when machining titanium alloy blades, the system needs to dynamically adjust the cutting depth according to the hardness of the material to avoid tool chipping.

‌3. The future of CNC technology: cross-dimensional breakthroughs and industrial transformation

Currently, CNC technology is facing three major trends:

‌Combined‌: Turning and milling machine tools can complete turning, milling, grinding and other processes on one device, reducing clamping time by 90%;

Additive-subtractive integration: Germany's DMG MORI's LASERTEC series machine tools combine 3D printing and CNC finishing to directly manufacture aerospace engine combustion chambers;

‌Digital Twin‌: By using a virtual machine tool to simulate the actual machining process, China's Shenyang Machine Tool's i5 system has increased debugging efficiency by 70%.

From the meshing of mechanical gears to the flow of digital signals, CNC technology has rewritten the underlying logic of the manufacturing industry in 70 years. It is not only an upgrade of machine tools, but also a leap in the ability of humans to transform abstract thinking into physical entities. In the new track of intelligent manufacturing, CNC technology will continue to break through the limits of materials, precision and efficiency, and write a new chapter for industrial civilization.

if you're still doing things people wish you would write: Megatron/Starscream/Deadlock, featuring M's gun-mode...

*S C R E A M I N G* Well this got out of hands. Few notes: 1) I don't know shit about guns so I did research 2) filthy sweet smut underneath. 3) Tiny mention of rape at the end but see #2

“Are you sure this is… safe?” Drift gulped, optics locked on the medic’s servos.

Servos that were holding Megatron. In gun form. 

“I am sure. Are you sure you want to go through with this?”

Ratchet lifted his free servos to rub the speedster’s thighs. A shiver went up Drift’s back strut. He trusted Ratchet with his life, it’s the ex-Warlord he still had hang ups on. They had a lot of… history together. Fragging was familiar, yet in this setting, it felt much more vulnerable.

<< We can stop anytime, just say the word.>> Megatron sent over comms. 

The two fields pressing against him were sending the same reassurance/love pulse, Ratchet’s optics critically roaming over his frame, looking for something. Drift tilted his helm back, in-venting, ex-venting, steadily. A rush of pleasure surged in his wires, Ratchet’s knowing touches pressing all of his sensitive spots along his thighs. 

Forcing his helm down, Drift nodded as his optics met his conjux’s, determination/affection dripping from his field.

“I am. J-just nerves.”

Ratchet bent forward to lavish Drift’s chest plate with kisses and licks, one servos still resting on the younger mech’s thigh. Purring and melting in the berth, worries quickly left his processor as other thoughts raced back. He online his optics, surprised he had even had to, looking up at his conjux with a begging look. 

“P-please, Ratch.”

Humming, the medic straightened up, servos rubbing up and down white plating gently. Drift spread his legs further apart, digging a fang in the soft mesh of his lips. He was dripping on the berth from Ratchet’s ministrations and his optics locked on Megatron in one of his alt-forms. 

He did ask for this. It had taken all of his courage to whisper his request in the dark, one night, while the three of them had been talking softly in their post fragging glow. 

Blue and red optics had zeroed in on him after he had shyly made his request. After lots of talking and negotiating and all the other safety things Ratchet insisted on, here they were, doing the scene he had requested. 

“I-I’m fine. I want this.” Drift ex-vented softly, optics dimming slightly. “I trust you. B-both of you.” The last part was added a little too quickly, but he had meant it.

Ratchet nodded, moving his servos and using his clever digits to trace the lips of his valve. Drift moaned, claws digging in the headboard, hips twitching. His frame felt like it was on fire, the roar of his vents barely drowning the stream of mewling moans he couldn’t stiffened anymore. 

“Primus. I might be a non-believer but you make me want to worship you.”

A keening whine escaped Drift’s intake, arms shaking with the force of his grip, all of his self-restraint pushed to its limit. At some point his vents had kicked in high gear but he was too blissed out to really care about such a mundane detail.

Ratchet’s fingers were magic, the right pressure, the right caress, the right push, sending wave after wave of pleasure along his sensor nets. A stream of ‘yes’ and ‘please’ were moaned between softer ‘more’.

Anticipation had been building with each groon passing, Drift reduced to a begging puddle in the berth, under Ratchet’s ministrations. 

“Ah-ah! Ratch, p-please, s-stop teasing.” he finally whined.

<< Use your words, fairest one.>>

Drift growled, using all of his self-control to recenter his processor. 

“Frag me with the gun, p-please!”

Ratchet and Megatron, laying in his lap, both shivered. Talented red digits had been running along the grip, tracing the engravings on the barrel, teasing the trigger guard. Drift thanked Primus daily for the blessing that Ratchet was, always caring about others above anything else. It was so endearing and so sexy. He whined softly, wiggling his hips demandingly. 

“Yes, sweetspark, just hold on for a klik.”

Ratchet fussed around with lubricant before carefully grazing the nozzle tip against the sensitive mesh of his valve. Drift’s claw dug deeper in the metal of the headboard, Ratchet’s servos holding his hips down. It reminded the speedster that his conjux was much stronger than he was, that he was safe, always, when Ratchet was with him.

“All right, love?”

Drift nodded furiously, not trusting his vocalizer right now. Ratchet hummed, using the nuzzle of the gun in the same way he had his digits, tracing the lips and triggering sensitive nodes in a slow and teasing manner. Drift’s engines roared as he tensed, feeling an overload building in his circuits.

“Ratty, I -AH! I’m s-so close! M-more please!” 

With an adoring smile, Ratcheting rubbed his anterior no, strong circling motion just like he loved it, tipping over as a powerful charge ran in his frame, his first overload leaving him dizzy and panting. 

“Still keeping your arms above your head, you are doing so well sweetspark.”

Drift choked on a sob, keening and purring under the praise. He tried moving his hips again but Ratchet was still pinning him down.  

“M-more, p-please!”

Steady as ever, Ratchet pressed the lubed tip of the gun against his entrance, gently easing it in. The wider tip of the silencer slipped in, angled to hit the top nodes in his valve. Drift purred, his whole frame taut in an effort to not squirm, threatening his self-control.   

“Relax sweetspark, I got you.”

Ratchet then proceeded to blow many fuses by doing things to his nodes and valve with the barrel of the gun, purring sweet encouragement and praises. 

“I w-want y-your spike, R-Ratty, p-please.”

Setting the stock against his thigh, Ratchet carefully lifted Drift’s hips, rubbing his spike against the dripping valve and the barrel of Megatron’s alt-mode not buried in Drift. With every shift of the medic, the gun moved too, hitting nodes along the wall of his valve, moaning after each burst of pleasure. 

The addition of his conjux’s spike sent another powerful charge though his circuits, overload slamming into his frame. This time, he lost control of his arms, raking his claws down the headboard before digging them between his neck, arching his back, only his hips grounded by Ratchet’s steady servos keeping him pinned.

**

Deadlock startled himself out of his dream with the power of his overload, venting roaring in his audials. Servos came to rub against his faceplate, venting exercise taking over as his discipline kicked in. 

That was new. 

He had erotics dreams before with the same participants but the setting was usually darker. The kind of dream where the Warlord’s gun form was used on Ratchet to inflict pain and pleasure not on him to fulfil a cheesy fantasy in a safe setting. 

This overly sentimental fragging nonsense was definitely new. 

The thought of Ratchet as his conjux sent a charge of pleasure over his frame. That was something he would never admit, even under torture. It was Deadlock’s deepest and most secret desire, something he rarely indulged in even wishing for longingly. 

Trying to reign in the wave of lust, he focused on his venting cycle, steadying his frame with his exercise. Deadlock went over the vivid dream with curiosity, easily recalling everything about it. As he did, he slipped into a meditative state, the dream slamming back into him in a vision.

**

He came back to his other self’s senses, recognizing that he was clinging to Ratchet’s frame. His face was pressed against a steelglass window, purring contentedly. A large servos was stroking his back, hesitantly. Grumbling, Drift caught it and tugged instantly on it until he could feel Megatron pressed against his back. He sighed contentedly, wrapping the grey arm around Ratchet’s frame, snuggling between the two older mechs. 

He was purring a nano-klik later when kisses lavished his finial. Ratchet was tracing circles on his hip plate, probably scanning him for the third time to make sure he was fine. Which he was. When he felt coherent enough, Drift whispered softly his gratitude.

“Anything you want, sweetspark.”

“Your desires are my orders, sparklight.”

**

The vision faded, another overload sizing Deadlock’s frame, fangs biting down on soft mesh to strangle the moan in his vocalizer. 

Terror clenched Deadlock’s spark, the affection waffling from the field in his vision scaring him more than any dark fantasy he ever had about the medic and the Warlord. Even more terrifying, was the way his spike was still pressurised and his exposed valve dripped heavily on the berth, charge racing in his wires just from the thought of it. 

He refused to self-service thinking about that dream… (or was it a vision?), turning his processor toward his usual fantasies of using the gun alt-mode to torture his favourite medic, how Ratchet would cry and writhe underneath him. With those more familiar fantasies he allowed his servos to tease over his array.

‘sweetspark, sparklight’

A shiver went up his strut, servos holding his spike gripping harder, erring on the side of painful. Deadlock willed himself to plunge back in his dark fantasy, Ratchet bound, screaming with shame as he overloaded, Megatron placing sweet kisses along his audial fins.

Deadlock took his servos off his array, digging his claws in the berth in frustration. If his processor would not cooperate, then he would not indulge his frame. With extreme frustration but disciplined determination, he plunged back in a meditation state, willing all desires out of his frame, his processor and his aura. 

**

“Wow, Deadlock is super snappy today.”

“I know, right? He nearly clawed out Starscream’s face when he mentioned how tense his aura was.”

“FRENZY, RUMBLE: CEASE IMMEDIATELY.”

“...You’re no fun, Boss.”

Thank you toy website for the gun part names xD Parting with this picture that made laugh cry for a solid half hour.

Red Alert was in the medical bay getting his wounds fixed up by First Aid who was looking worried about him. Red Alert had gotten himself in another dangerous accident with his paranoia and the Protectbot was having fix him up since Ratchet was out doing something important. After all, First Aid cared about everyone and really hated others getting hurt. Red Alert saw Playback who was busy handling a broken intercom and Reion who was cleaning her medical tools with an orange handkerchief. Red Alert got up looking down at himself seeing plasters across his small wounds and bandages across his larger ones. While they don't close the energon wounds, they at least reduce the leaking that the wound produce. Reion saw Red Alert getting up as she turned around along with Playback and asked him "How are you doing?" as Playback helped him to sit up properly as Red Alert soon answered her question feeling pain around his servos and limbs... "Could have dealt with the mission better. After all, those Decepticons took a number on me and busted some of the security systems." Red Alert said as he winced when feeling himself. Playback soon spoke up to as Reion wanting to know where Ratchet went "Where is Ratchet?" Playback asked as Reion soon answered him.

"I got his message that he should be around the storage rooms, cleaning everything old from that area." Reion replied to Playback as Red Alert could feel the biting winds as he got up and closed the window.

Playback nodded as he turned to look at Red Alert who looked slightly dizzy from the slight concussion that he got from the hit. Reion crossed her arms before saying "You should be better in a couple of days at most. You gotten a slight concussion but it's not too severe." Red Alert got up feeling the rough, scratched floor that had a couple of jagged cracks and walls with dried orange metallic paint. There was clean medical tools that were on the counter and right now First Aid was busy rearranging different files on the shelves and the windows had several glass cracks on them.

Soon Red Alert got out of the room as he felt his legs shaking as he walked through the smooth corridors which had bright fluorescent lights and exotic green plants that were put on the window sill. There was a couple of painting of landscapes and still life that was screwed onto the walls with frames. In a corner of the hallway Ark, there was a rosewood shelve that had all sorts of books with different genres ranging from mystery novels to adventure books as they were stacked vertically.

He saw multiple Autobots throughout the hallyway such as Trailbreaker joking around with Searchlight and Hauler was chatting with Grapple. Gears and Huffer were complaining about the others. Everything was cheery for now as Red Alert was getting another suspicion as usual as he walked through the center corridors into the mess hall where currently chaos was happening as usual, so Red Alert stepped back seeing a food fight break out as Grimlock had angered Chormedome who had some anger issues.

Soon Red Alert walked away quickly not wanting to get hit by any type of energon treats, especially the ones that were a liquid. Son he went into his quarters and shut the door as he soon felt the soft carpet that felt more softer and didn't feel as rough as the jagged metallic floor, he took a glance around his room as he walked towards his berth and turned off the lights as he got into the recharging pod and soon fell asleep.

The spindle motor generates rotational torque through electromagnetic induction, driving the spindle to rotate at high speed, thereby achieving high-precision processing operations. The electric spindle directly integrates the motor into the spindle, realizing efficient operation of mechatronics, significantly reducing the driving process, making the structure more compact and the noise lower, while also achieving higher mechanical efficiency, better precision and smaller vibration amplitude.

2.Operation mode of CNC spindle motor

1.Operation mode with variable speed gear: multi-stage mechanical speed change is achieved through the gearbox, which is suitable for occasions requiring large torque and speed change requirements. The advantages of this method are compact structure and high transmission efficiency, but the disadvantages are that it increases the complexity of the hydraulic system and the vibration and noise caused by the transmission are large.

2.Belt drive operation mode: Synchronous toothed belt drive is used, which is suitable for small CNC machine tools. The advantages are simple structure and ability to suppress vibration and noise, but the transmission ratio is inaccurate, which is suitable for small and medium power situations. ‌3. Direct drive of speed-regulating motor (electric spindle): The motor is directly connected to the spindle, which belongs to the direct drive structure. The advantage of this method is that it simplifies the structure of the spindle box and the spindle and improves the rigidity of the spindle components, but the heating of the motor has a greater impact on the spindle. It is suitable for small parts processing but not suitable for heavy cutting.

3.The main structure of CNC spindle motor ‌1. Spindle box: The spindle box is an important component of the spindle of CNC machine tools. Its main function is to support the spindle and withstand cutting force, radial force and axial force. The spindle box is generally made of high-strength materials and has sufficient rigidity and stability. ‌2. Spindle motor: The spindle motor is a key component that drives the spindle to rotate. It usually uses an AC servo motor or an ordinary AC motor, which has the advantages of high precision, high speed and high torque. ‌3. Bearing: The bearing is used to support the spindle and withstand radial force and axial force. The spindle of CNC machine tools generally uses rolling bearings, which have the advantages of low friction, high speed and high precision. ‌4. Seals‌: Seals are used to prevent cutting fluid and dust from entering the spindle box, maintaining the cleanliness and lubrication performance of the spindle box. Seals are generally made of rubber materials, which have the advantages of high temperature resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. ‌5. Cooling device‌: Since the electric spindle generates a lot of heat when running at high speed, the cooling device ensures that the temperature of the spindle unit is maintained within an appropriate range. The cooling device usually includes two methods: water cooling and air cooling. The water-cooled spindle uses water circulation cooling, while the air-cooled spindle relies on fans to cool down. ‌6. Drive module‌: The drive module is used to control the speed change function of the spindle to ensure that the rotation speed and torque of the spindle meet the processing requirements. The drive module is usually integrated with the spindle unit housing to achieve precise control. ‌7.
