BIG KAISER’s digital precision boring heads, from Swiss partner KAISER were part of a case study alongside Impact CNC in the September issue of Modern Machine Shop.
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.
We’ve built our name on tool holders, boring tools, cutting tools and specialized solutions for the everyday and most demanding machining operations. You may be surprised to learn we have deep expertise in lathe tooling as well. We have to. Lathes are critical to the development and production of our tools.
Machining at higher speeds can save time and money, however, increasing the speed also means increasing the inherent risk in the situation. To maximize speed potential, a holistic approach that considers tool, holder, machine and operator is essential.
Exciting improvements in automation are already on their way—higher productivity, increased safety, greater throughput and less scrap. Tool digitalization provides opportunities for production improvements, like our EWE digital fine boring tool. It displays the actual diameter of a tool, makes adjustments much simpler and faster, and reduces human error.
With thousands of part numbers to choose from, product selection can be a bit overwhelming. Take a look at some overlooked products and services that can help guarantee higher performance for your shop.
Machinery tooling and equipment that get parts produced the fastest is always the best choice, right? But what else needs to be considered when choosing equipment for low- to mid-range production volumes?
When one variable can make an impact on the result, as in metalworking, it’s a good idea to eliminate as many as possible. Each BIG DAISHOWA part is built to fit precisely and work specifically within each finished product.
There’s a lot to consider when deciding how to tool up a new machine. Committing to a thorough tooling selection upfront is vital. Think about your tooling and machine tool as a symbiotic partnership: what affects one affects the other.
Valuable information on a new standard for balancing tools and tool systems that apply to today’s relevant variables for safe and productive machining.
In this business, doing it right the first time is like money in the bank: less scrap, less wasted time, more on-time deliveries, the list goes on and on.
Because of the popularity of BIG-PLUS, many tooling companies, without a proper license, offer what they call dual-contact tooling. But not all dual-contact is the same. Let’s tackle a few of the most common misconceptions.
