Aerospace is unique among industries in its thirst for component accuracy with ‘blemish-free’ precision. Unlike any other industry, anything that goes into the air has to be on spec, as the smallest imperfection in machining can adversely affect flight safety.
Machine shops of all shapes and sizes are facing more pressure than ever. While its primary purpose has traditionally been tool setup, tool presetters serve as both important tools and information hubs on the floor as technology advances.
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”.
In-machine laser technology is touted by machine tool builders and distributors as the way of the future and an indispensable tool for machinists. Do you really need an offline presetter if you have in-machine lasers?
BIG KAISER’s tooling certificate is an offering that allows users to purchase one or multiple BIG KAISER products by filling out only one purchase order.
The return on investment from digital boring comes from the time saved making adjustments on the spindle, as well as the increased adjustment accuracy.
