The full radial contact and extreme gripping force of Hi-Power Milling Chucks delivers the stability needed to increase spindle speeds by 20 percent in one application at Team Penske.
Machining vibration disrupts efficiency, reduces tool life and damages part finishes. Solving it isn’t easy as causes are varied and interconnected. Discover strategies to tackle vibration for better results.
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.
The further the tool does its work from the spindle, the more room for error. Deep pockets and cavities usually signify that a part is nearing completion, making the smallest of errors almost impossible to recover from and very costly.
When one variable can make an impact on the result, as in metalworking, it’s a good idea to eliminate as many as possible. Each BIG DAISHOWA part is built to fit precisely and work specifically within each finished product.
NASCAR teams are very meticulous in what they do – always on the lookout for ways to be more productive in their machining processes to improve their cars.
In this business, doing it right the first time is like money in the bank: less scrap, less wasted time, more on-time deliveries, the list goes on and on.
No matter what, a new machine represents a significant cost in a manufacturing project. This investment can be compromised if it is not tooled up properly.
