Exciting improvements in automation are already on their way—higher productivity, increased safety, greater throughput and less scrap. Tool digitalization provides opportunities for production improvements, like our EWE digital fine boring tool. It displays the actual diameter of a tool, makes adjustments much simpler and faster, and reduces human error.
Consistent accuracy is the name of the game when it comes to tool presetters. The best way to ensure you can keep faith in your presetter, just like any other piece of machinery, is to perform regular maintenance.
Just as your car’s health depends on regular oil changes and tune-ups, your shop tools and equipment require preventive maintenance to stay in good working order and to maximize life cycle.
One of the most impactful tools in the BIG DAISHOWA suite of products is often overlooked. It’s durable and has all the best features for those looking to save time making hard-to-reach cuts. We’re talking about our AGU30 Universal Type Angle Heads.
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.
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.
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.
As part of a continued effort to fully serve users throughout the long lifetimes of their BIG Kaiser products, we’ve made it faster, easier and more cost effective to have some popular products repaired and properly maintained.
