Many machine shops lack objective criteria for making toolholder purchasing decisions & most are made by price alone. However they can improve runout significantly by using the right toolholders.

Manufacturing miniature parts and features is not new. In the past, EDM and laser technologies were used to create these features. Although these technologies worked for low volume jobs, they are not practical for the high volume micro applications that are in demand today.

The BIG DAISHOWA SPHINX drill series includes more than 2,000 different drills under 3 mm in diameter as standard. With a range of 0.05 to 3 mm diameters.

BIG DAISHOWA announces the introduction of the world’s smallest hydraulic chuck for HSK-E25 machine spindles, thus completing its extensive range of Slim Hydraulic Chucks.

The Speroni Pro Shrink TubeChiller 1100 uses advanced shrinking technology to heat and automatically cool tool holders.

BIG DAISHOWA introduced the heavy-duty MU-VZ and SU-VZ dial indicator stands for precise, stable positioning of inspection devices.

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

While the latest machine tool technology may go a long way towards eliminating vibration and chatter, adding a new one may not be realistic. Luckily, there are less disruptive options that can make positive impacts on vibration without breaking the bank.

Here are some insights into the extra care and know-how needed to achieve success and build a successful reputation as a reliable supplier of micro machined parts.

When that inevitable job arises that requires higher RPM output, operators are left with the choice of replacing the machine altogether to gain higher productivity, or looking into an attachment, like a spindle speeder, to close the RPM gap.

Micromachining, cutting where the volume of chips produced with each tool path is very small, is not a high-speed operation in relation to chip load per tooth. Rather, it involves a high spindle speed due to cutter diameter. The part may be physically larger, but details of the part require ultra-small profiles achieved only by micromachining. In other words, micromachining is not limited in scope to only miniature parts.
