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.
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. To help solve this problem, we have developed Dyna Force, a device for measuring the retention force of machine tool spindles.
Maintenance is really important and kind of a pain. When it comes to all-important spindle maintenance, you can avoid the pain by using simple tools and devices.
Because the BIG-PLUS spindle system gets so much of our customers’ attention and interest, people often forget that BIG DAISHOWA offers an extensive line-up of other popular dual contact solutions, most notably HSK & BIG CAPTO.
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.
Explore the versatility of the HSK tool system. Learn about the types, advantages and best uses of HSK tool holders to optimize your shop’s efficiency.
When choosing a tool holder, you want consistent results and long service life. Check out these considerations for rigid, consistent and durable tool holders.
Chattering and deflection have always been the bane of machinists’ existence, so much so that the sight of a long and slender tool holder will immediately cause goosebumps. If you understand why a long tool holder behaves the way it does, you’ll know that there are ways to fight back against this bending.
Discover how the right tool holder solved serious cutting challenges from reducing runout and streamlining operations to enabling efficiency and boosting part quality.
Unlock better machining results with the right tool holders. Learn how design, selection and maintenance impact accuracy, tool life and overall performance.
