There’s a lot to consider when deciding how to tool up a new machine. Committing to a thorough tooling selection upfront is vital. Think about your tooling and machine tool as a symbiotic partnership: what affects one affects the other.
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”.
HIGH SPINDLE is an innovative gear-driven system that enhances the performance of existing machining centers by multiplying spindle speed 4, 5, or 6 times, improving both drilling and end milling operations.
BIG-PLUS tool holders are supported on the flange face and taper providing excellent rigidity. It is interchangeable with existing machines and tool holders.
The precision and ruggedness of KAISER boring heads from BIG DAISHOWA deliver measurable performance advantages, significantly reducing finishing cost and cycle time.
Successful shops always look for ways to differentiate and innovate for competitive advantage. Cashing in on the entirety of a tool’s life with an advanced tool management system is perhaps the most effective way to do that right now.
The chances of a tool slipping or pulling out in its holder during work is increasing. Here are some insights to help you select the proper holder for your work.
