Successful shops always look for ways to differentiate and innovate for competitive advantage. Cashing in on the entirety of a tool’s life with an advanced tool management system is perhaps the most effective way to do that right now.
As cutting tool manufacturers increase the recommended operating conditions for their products, users achieve the desired result: shorter cycle times on existing machine tools.
BIG DAISHOWA is introducing the RBX12 Air Power Spindle, a high-speed air-driven spindle that achieves an impressive variable rotational speed of 100,000-120,000 RPM.
This simple switch makes life much easier because it introduces more standardization to the shop floor, reduces the burden on operators, increases setup speed and dramatically reduces the chances of human error. All of which saves time and realizes return on investment – and each additional machine helps increase the rate of return.
BIG DAISHOWA’s Mega ER Grip was designed to outperform all standard ER systems in the four most critical areas of tool holder performance: clamping force, concentricity, rigidity and balance at high spindle speeds.
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.
The flexible, modular Unilock Zero-Point Clamping System, offered by BIG DAISHOWA, is now available in a kit specifically designed for all Haas 160mm platter rotary indexing tables.
Tool holders play a critical role in connecting elements maximizing machining performance, however, several different styles are available and the most suitable one will depend on the operation.
The presetting machines available today are accurate, easy to use and provide closed-loop tool compensation on the CNC machine tool, saving significant time during job change-over.
