BIG DAISHOWA has released two smaller sizes of the EWN Smart Damper precision boring heads, which eliminate vibration in deep-hole finish boring with a patented damping system.
The SPERONI SPI is the newest of BIG DAISHOWA's Industry 4.0 upgrades to its offering of tool presetting solutions. SPI dramatically reduces the time and steps needed to transfer precise and accurate tool measurements to a machine tool.
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.
Boring tool performance depends greatly on the Length-to-Diameter (L:D) Ratio of the application. While this is a straightforward calculation, the Length and Diameter values to be used may not be that clear.
To realize new efficiencies and make things easier for end users, the name of the modular boring system connection was changed to be more in line with global standards.
