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.

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

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

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

Using inexpensive spindle, taper and bore cleaners is an effective way to keep your machine tools performing their best.

These easy-to-use measuring devices can help protect capital machinery, prevent scrapped parts, and speed setups or programming.

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.  

Discover the advantages of using a modular tooling system and what makes BIG DAISHOWA modular components unique.

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.

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”.

Using MEGA Synchro tapping holders, a metal components manufacturer shortens cycle time by 200%.

BIG DAISHOWA offers one of the most complete line ups of boring tools in the world. Our experts share some of their favorite tips and resources.

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.

We talk a lot about some of the products we offer that handle tooling while they aren’t on the spindle—and for good reason.

Not all pull studs are created equally.
