There’s more than one way to make holes, but some approaches are better than others. Working with customers from across every industry, our team gets to see what works and what doesn’t. These are a few of the interesting questions—and unexpected answers.
The precision and ruggedness of KAISER modular boring tools deliver measurable performance advantages by reducing costs and cycle times, all while allowing the flexibility and versatility to upgrade boring tools to meet today’s demanding requirements.
With state-of-the-art toolholding technology, Jorge Rucoba’s machine shop doubled its process indicators and gained competitiveness in the Mexican mold market.
When it comes to boring, there are several factors that can lead to poor performance. Whether it’s long cycle times, short tool life or poor bore quality, any or all these factors may need to be addressed in order to increase productivity. Although different, these issues are often closely linked in a given application.
If there’s anything we love as much as the sound of those engines, it’s the manufacturing technology and know-how that go into making high-performance, race-winning cars. Together with Team Penske, and just in time for the 2020 season start at Daytona, we are launching a series of short videos to talk machine shop.
Machine shops of all shapes and sizes are facing more pressure than ever. While its primary purpose has traditionally been tool setup, tool presetters serve as both important tools and information hubs on the floor as technology advances.
When it comes to aerospace components, the slightest imperfection could be catastrophic. Our experts answer five questions about boring precision holes on aerospace parts.
Anyone who’s made holes understands the difficulties that can arise: vibration, wander and even breakage. When it comes to production-level volume, these issues become even more limiting. Many turn to helical interpolation with a mill as a reliable way to rough out holes. We’re here to tell you there’s a faster, easier option.
