If your work demands accuracy or you are looking to give your 5-axis capabilities a boost, hydraulic chucks are worth considering.

For manufacturers using milling chucks, pullout is a major issue, particularly when machining HRSA’s such as titanium or inconel.

BIG KAISER is BIG in supporting education. Nowadays, you hear so much in the manufacturing community that there are fewer students able to work in manufacturing as a result of lacking in skills.

Without the right tool holder, difficult conditions create the perfect storm for chatter, poor tool life and failing quality control molds.

Accurate offsets and workpiece reference points are critical to effective setups and first-part accuracy. Taking a manual approach or attempting to verify these in the machine without the right measuring devices can be a delicate and time-consuming process.

If pictures speak 1,000 words, videos must speak about 10,000. Check out the quick clip below showing our Speroni MAGIC CNC tool presetting system in action.

Usually recognized as a supplier to the metalworking industry, BIG KAISER is of course also a manufacturing company, facing similar challenges and opportunities as the customers we serve.

There are many advantages to turning (pun intended) to an underutilized operation that virtually every machining center is capable of: OD turning — otherwise known as “outer diameter turning”, “pin turning”, or “boss milling”.

The 2,000 parts offered in 1990 seems quaint compared to 2015’s 20,000-plus.

MoldMaking Technology has published a series of blog posts from four BIG DAISHOWA presentations. Read on for a recap of each post.

Presetters have evolved. Powerful PC-based, touchscreen controls can connect to other important components and systems across an entire metalworking business. This connectivity allows for the fast, accurate exchange of data.

Here are a few tool and part holding considerations for getting the most out of a mill-turn machine.

From a safety standpoint, limiting surface contacts and close interactions are two of the most important steps that can be taken to help prevent the spread of illness. It got us thinking about how our tooling and systems can help maintain a safer environment.

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.

We hear all the time how so many of our customers rely on the Unilock 138 series round workholding chuck for its mid-size diameter and adaptability to custom fixture designs.
