Aerospace is unique among industries in its thirst for component accuracy with ‘blemish-free’ precision. Unlike any other industry, anything that goes into the air has to be on spec, as the smallest imperfection in machining can adversely affect flight safety.

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 DAISHOWA has expanded its lineup of Smart Damper-integrated products to include 318 Large Bore Systems and the CK1, CK2 and CKB3 systems.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling Inc. continues to expand its product line while staying true to its mission of bringing the highest quality, most precise, most reliable and most accurate tooling and accessories to market.

BIG DAISHOWA 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.

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.

As cutting tool manufacturers increase the recommended operating conditions for their products, users achieve the desired result: shorter cycle times on existing machine tools.

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.

The presetting machines available today are accurate, easy to use and provide closed-loop tool compensation on the CNC machine tool, saving significant time during job change-over.

Tool management system (TMS) software & a tool presetter can accomplish both cutting cost and increases in productivity for a shop’s day-to-day activities.

CNC machine tool efficiency is all about managing the components that must come together in proper alignment: the machine spindle, toolholder assembly and workspace.

As lathes and turning machines pivot toward quick-change tooling models from traditional stick tools, tool presetters present benefits of keeping chips flying while reducing human error and increasing precision.

Even though it has been around forever, does the vise have limitations for shops in a competitive marketplace? Do you need to reinvent the wheel to reduce some of its limitations? To evaluate the vise’s viability in today’s manufacturing operations, we need to uncover the most efficient way to apply it.

In the precision, no-room-for-error world of aerospace, manufacturers need sophisticated tool presetting like airplanes need wings.

The medical industry pushes the limits of precision for machining and tools. The trend toward less-invasive surgery using smaller parts translates to a need to better control the preci­sion and tolerances of micromachining processes.
