Unleashing the hidden potential of existing equipment with BIG-PLUS® spindles

Insufficient retention force of the spindle clamping mechanism could lead to reduced rigidity and vibrations, loss of machining quality, poor surface finish and shortened tool life. By ensuring that the retention force is at the correct level, cutting performance remains consistent, providing high-quality machining results.

This modular UNILOCK Stabilizer System provides lateral support for tall parts during machining, welding or assembly processes and allows for the transfer of loads down to the table or base.

Charlie Mitchell of Andretti Autosport saw BIG KAISER’s Unilock pallets could help him reduce setup time on where quick turnaround is essential.

The MEGA Micro Coolant Nut provides precise coolant supply to micro cutting tool applications at high speeds.

This simple switch makes life much easier because it introduces more standardization to the shop floor, reduces the burden on operators, increases setup speed and dramatically reduces the chances of human error. All of which saves time and realizes return on investment – and each additional machine helps increase the rate of return.

The Mini Indexable Boring Bar helps meet the increasing demand for successfully boring small parts in industries like medical and aerospace, such as machined medical implant devices and micro-sized components.

BIG KAISER is expanding its range of BIG Capto tool holders with the addition of a new size, C4, which is becoming increasingly popular as a quick-change system for turret tooling on lathes.

Shrink-fit and hydraulic holders are both useful in low clearance, tight work envelopes found in moldmaking and multi-axis machining applications. When deciding which one to use, their differences will guide your choice. Here are some of the fundamental contrasts to help you decide which holder type is best for your work.

BIG KAISER introduces Hydraulic Chucks for Swiss Lathes, the first improvement to this technology in more than 30 years.

Two versions of the C-Centering Cutter, a multifunction cutter capable of spot drilling, centering and chamfering will be on display at IMTS.

BIG KAISER will highlight digital tooling innovations, as well as cutting-edge products and accessories at IMTS in booth #431610. IMTS, held September 10-15 at McCormick Place in Chicago, is North America’s largest manufacturing show.

Torque Fit, a tightening fixture for collet chucks with an integrated torque measuring system, ensures that a collet chuck is correctly tightened.

Dyna Contact is a precise gage used to check the geometric accuracy of a machine spindle taper by visually comparing the contact of the gage to the spindle.

To make their cars as light and aerodynamic as possible, Team Penske’s shop performs delicate work milling aluminum, titanium and steel.

Easy-to-use, free-to-download, available in five languages, perfectly tuned for Industry 4.0

In 1948, the 25-year-old Heinz Kaiser decided to give up his permanent job and start his own business near Zurich, Switzerland. His vision was to advance the development of high-quality tools needed to keep pace with the increasing productivity of machine tool technology at that time.

BIG KAISER, a leader in premium high-precision tooling systems and solutions for the metalworking industries, announced today its new Level Master Wireless, a high precision device for the leveling of machine tool tables.

BIG KAISER’s UNIFLEX system is a three-dimensional zero-point clamping system designed to allow parts with curved surfaces to be held rigidly for various operations and be adjusted to different height requirements.

BIG KAISER, a global leader in premium high-precision tooling systems and solutions for the metalworking industries, introduces the Base Master Red, a high-precision touch sensor that rapidly determines workpiece offsets and tool lengths, and the Base Master Mini, a thin, compact tool offset sensor.

BIG KAISER, a leader in premium high-precision tooling systems and solutions, has introduced the R-Cutter CKB Type, a new modular round chamfering tool.

BIG KAISER, a leader in premium high-precision tooling systems and solutions, has announced the release of the Dyna Line Portable, a budget-friendly, in-machine measuring device suitable for a wide variety of shop environments.

Keeping pace with modern manufacturing demands often means bridging the gap between design and production. Creative and resourceful applications of tooling and accessories, such as angle heads, can get complex parts out the door.

BIG KAISER has announced an updated version of its ChipFan offering. The new ChipFan is increased to seven blades instead of the current four-blade design, improving balance for high-speed operations.

How in the world could all of this connectivity extend to the very smallest of metalworking equipment and tooling in a way that could possibly have a dramatic effect on shops?

The importance of meticulously prepping, starting, and finishing holes can’t be emphasized enough.

In-machine laser technology is touted by machine tool builders and distributors as the way of the future and an indispensable tool for machinists. Do you really need an offline presetter if you have in-machine lasers?

The precision and ruggedness of BIG KAISER boring heads deliver measurable performance advantages, significantly reducing finishing cost and cycle time.

It all began with “Scuffgate,” a small chamfered edge that became a critical priority and evolved into a growing demand for fine finishes and feel in a world of myriad applications that only precision chamfering can deliver.

BIG KAISER’s MEGA New Baby Chuck is now available up to ø1" clamping for drills, reamers and finishing end mills with .00004" runout accuracy.
