BIG DAISHOWA, a leader in premium high-precision tooling systems and solutions, has announced the release of the Dyna Line Portable, a budget-friendly, in-machine measuring device suitable for a wide variety of shop environments.
BIG DAISHOWA, a leader in premium high-precision tooling systems and solutions for the metalworking industries, announced today its new Level Master Wireless, a high precision device for the leveling of machine tool tables.
TAG90 center-through coolant angle heads deliver coolant directly from the machine spindle to the cutting edge, without passing through the stop block.
With a little knowhow and the right tools, see how you can significantly reduce cycle time by rough boring instead of performing a helical interpolation with a mill.
The medical industry pushes the limits of precision for machining and tools. The trend toward less-invasive surgery using smaller parts translates to a need to better control the precision and tolerances of micromachining processes.
Moldmakers hoping to avoid problems such as chatter, poor tool life and molds that fail quality control muster need to consider a variety of factors when selecting a long-reach toolholder.
Manufacturing miniature parts and features is not new. In the past, EDM and laser technologies were used to create these features. Although these technologies worked for low volume jobs, they are not practical for the high volume micro applications that are in demand today.
Aerospace is unique among industries in its thirst for component accuracy with ‘blemish-free’ precision. Unlike any other industry, anything that goes into the air has to be on spec, as the smallest imperfection in machining can adversely affect flight safety.
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.
Shrink-fit and hydraulic holders are both useful in low clearance, tight work envelopes found in moldmaking and multi-axis machining applications. When deciding which one to use, their differences will guide your choice. Here are some of the fundamental contrasts to help you decide which holder type is best for your work.
The return on investment from digital boring comes from the time saved making adjustments on the spindle, as well as the increased adjustment accuracy.
