There’s more than one way to skin a CAT…or should we say HSK in this case.

What’s a good sign that a company is doing well and that they are constantly seeking better ways to serve their customers? The need to construct new facilities, of course.

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.

At BIG Kaiser we love hearing the stories about how our products provide customers solutions to their most difficult machining challenges.

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.

Creative applications of tooling and accessories can get complex parts out the door instead of having to lose those parts due to design edits.

In a recently published article in Manufacturing Engineering, BIG KAISER contributes to the conversations of the evolution of five-axis machines.

As our Engineering Manager, Alan Miller, likes to say, “You’re only as precise as your least precise component.”

Smart Damper products are designed for deep-hole boring with BIG KAISER’s CKB modular boring system, and also for extended reach milling with both inch- and metric-pilot shell mills and face mills.

The precision and ruggedness of KAISER modular boring tools deliver measurable performance advantages by reducing costs and cycle times, all while allowing the flexibility and versatility to upgrade boring tools to meet today’s demanding requirements.

Using helical interpolation to open holes is common practice. And in shallow holes or one-off projects, it’s a fine choice.

The advances in multi-axis machining in recent years have unlocked the creativity of machine shop engineers and operators.

The Twin Cutter’s ability to take on heavier cuts allows shops to be more efficient.

Good measurements make setups faster, reduce recuts and identify potential spindle or holder issues before they become bigger problems. Let’s look at a few of the key areas to measure and the handy solutions available.
