NTMA members visited BIG Daishowa Seiki in Japan during the association’s 2016 Tech Tour last month. The annual Tech Tour is a special opportunity for NTMA members to learn, network and tour manufacturing facilities outside the U.S.
BIG DAISHOWA recently joined Okuma America Corporation’s Partners in THINC network, a collaborative network of 40+ companies that service the metalcutting and manufacturing industries.
BIG DAISHOWA is expanding its range of BIG Capto tool holders with the addition of a new size, C4, which is becoming increasingly popular as a quick-change system for turret tooling on lathes.
This modular UNILOCK Stabilizer System provides lateral support for tall parts during machining, welding or assembly processes and allows for the transfer of loads down to the table or base.
Charlie Mitchell, machinist for Andretti Autosport, spent up to eight hours setting up his five-axis machine with 10 tools to run 30 to 40 different processes on a part. Using UNILOCK pallets, set-ups times are 70 to 80 percent shorter.
