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.
With state-of-the-art toolholding technology, Jorge Rucoba’s machine shop doubled its process indicators and gained competitiveness in the Mexican mold market.
BIG DAISHOWA’s CNC collet chucks have a guaranteed runout at the collet nose of less than 0.003 mm at 4xD, and are available for all machine tool spindles.
BIG DAISHOWA has launched the HMCJ, a super-slim milling chuck with peripheral coolant supply, designed to support heavy-duty and finish end milling tasks with power and precision using Ø1/2” or Ø12mm cutters.
Workholding plays a critical role in the metalworking equipment equation. Chuck condition is becoming even more important in multi-axis machining where additional angles and motion can amplify problems.
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.
