Angle Head

When it comes to aerospace components, the slightest imperfection could be catastrophic. Our experts answer five questions about boring precision holes on aerospace parts.

Angle heads from BIG KAISER allow you to flip the tool instead of the part, eliminating both unnecessary setup time and repositioning errors for a more cost-effective solution for workpieces.

The first challenge to machinability – beyond simply working in titanium – for Colorado-based Cogitic Corporation was securing the cylinder in the universal machining center. It was also important to maintain access to the through-hole, which has an internal square key slot perpendicular to the stem hole.

The advances in multi-axis machining in recent years have unlocked the creativity of machine shop engineers and operators.

New BIG KAISER Angle Heads combine vertical, horizontal and angular operations on one machine, improving runout accuracy and eliminating the potential for error created by multiple setups.
