CNC machine tool efficiency is all about managing the components that must come together in proper alignment: the machine spindle, toolholder assembly and workspace.
Cleanliness is key to achieving good runout control when assembling tool holders. Small particles or oil in a tool holder can cause large runout of the cutting tool, deceasing tool life and performance.
Pullout is a major issue facing manufacturers using milling chucks, especially when machining heat-resistant super alloys (HRSA) like titanium or inconel
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.
Runout is one of the sneakier issues machinists and tool managers must deal with. It’s almost impossible to recognize in-process and difficult to diagnose after the fact. We identify potential sources.
