Over the last couple of decades, digitization has increasingly crept into our lives. In the metalworking world it’s undeniable. Digital boring heads have emerged as indispensable time-saving and quality-ensuring tools in machine shops.
Ansonia Manufacturing, the only machine shop in the town of Sonoma, California, discovered the EWN2-32ExER32 boring head and used it to complete a tricky hardware component job for a “live” glass art sculpture.
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.
Five-axis roughing can be painstaking. Pairing the right holder with the right cutter can save serious time while cutting and when setting up -- and eliminate those pain points.
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.
Automated solutions are becoming more and more prominent in the machining industry. BIG DAISHOWA discusses the market’s current state, its latest developments and what it might look like in the future.
Considering we deal in some of the smallest parts and pieces in the machining world, we fully understand that your results will be only as strong as your weakest link.
The further the tool does its work from the spindle, the more room for error. Deep pockets and cavities usually signify that a part is nearing completion, making the smallest of errors almost impossible to recover from and very costly.
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.
