In a recently published article in Manufacturing Engineering, BIG KAISER contributes to the conversations of the evolution of five-axis machines.

When clamping for five-axis machining, access to the part is an issue many metalworking shops face.

Five-axis roughing can be painstaking. Pairing the right holder with the right cutter can save serious time while cutting and when setting up -- and eliminate those pain points.

Good measurements make setups faster, reduce recuts and identify potential spindle or holder issues before they become bigger problems. Let’s look at a few of the key areas to measure and the handy solutions available.  

Machining at higher speeds can save time and money, however, increasing the speed also means increasing the inherent risk in the situation. To maximize speed potential, a holistic approach that considers tool, holder, machine and operator is essential.

After researching presetters for eight years—including four trips to IMTS—CEO Ronda Peterson knew it was the time to invest in the next level of efficiency for her shop.

By exhibiting three different scenarios — machining, welding and assembly — project manager, John Zaya, shares knowledge on the importance of stability in a recent Fabricating & Metalworking article.

Here are a few tool and part holding considerations for getting the most out of a mill-turn machine.

No matter what, a new machine represents a significant cost in a manufacturing project. This investment can be compromised if it is not tooled up properly.

A machine’s spindle is one of the key links in the machining chain. It makes regular inspection and spindle maintenance critical to getting the most out of your equipment and maintain process efficiency.

Machining vibration disrupts efficiency, reduces tool life and damages part finishes. Solving it isn’t easy as causes are varied and interconnected. Discover strategies to tackle vibration for better results.

MoldMaking Technology has published a series of blog posts from four BIG DAISHOWA presentations. Read on for a recap of each post.

Struggling to meet customer expectations, a small change made a big difference to one shop.

High-speed machining can dramatically boost productivity if your tooling and machine setups are up to the task.

Machine tool accessories like chip fans and T-slot covers can have a significant impact on machine performance and production.
