After years of close observation and collaboration with manufacturing companies of all sizes, BIG DAISHOWA Seiki engineers have learned how the choice of tool holders affects production costs on the shop floor.
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.
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.
Discover how the right tool holder solved serious cutting challenges from reducing runout and streamlining operations to enabling efficiency and boosting part quality.
