BIG DAISHOWA recently joined Okuma America Corporation’s Partners in THINC network, a collaborative network of 40+ companies that service the metalcutting and manufacturing industries.
The contract manufacturer Schittl from Deutsch Kaltenbrunn specializes in the production of one-offs and small series projects. Based on a recommendation from the multi-brand dealer Metzler, they use chucks from BIG DAISHOWA. This is their story.
BIG DAISHOWA is introducing the RBX12 Air Power Spindle, a high-speed air-driven spindle that achieves an impressive variable rotational speed of 100,000-120,000 RPM.
Successful shops always look for ways to differentiate and innovate for competitive advantage. Cashing in on the entirety of a tool’s life with an advanced tool management system is perhaps the most effective way to do that right now.
The limitations of using milling tools to prepare holes for finishing become apparent as hole depth and volume increase. Enter the relatively simple and affordable twin cutter, which can solve this and virtually any other holemaking problem.
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.
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.
The return on investment from digital boring comes from the time saved making adjustments on the spindle, as well as the increased adjustment accuracy.
The flexible, modular Unilock Zero-Point Clamping System, offered by BIG DAISHOWA, is now available in a kit specifically designed for all Haas 160mm platter rotary indexing tables.
When used together with a machine that delivers on speed and accuracy, ChipFan and T-Slot Clean help machines reach maximum levels of productivity—even during downtime.
