BIG DAISHOWA at IMTS 2026

IMTS 2026 brings the manufacturing world together September 14-19 at McCormick Place in Chicago. Industry professionals gather at this event to see what comes next in manufacturing technology.

Our team will welcome visitors to booth 431610. Stop by to experience live demonstrations, new product previews and hands-on access to precision tooling solutions that keep your operations efficient. Whether you want to reduce runout, extend tool life or solve a tough application challenge, our staff will provide answers. Visit our booth to see why manufacturing leaders trust BIG DAISHOWA as their precision tooling partner.

Why BIG DAISHOWA Is Among the Must-See Tooling Exhibitors

BIG DAISHOWA operates as a tooling partner, not just a supplier. We work alongside your team to diagnose application challenges, recommend the right solution and provide engineering support.

At IMTS, you can experience our distinct approach to manufacturing success. Our tool holders and chucks are engineered to tight tolerances to deliver impressive runout accuracy, from deep-pocket milling to long-reach boring and beyond. Our tools are precision engineered to protect your spindle, reduce vibration and extend tool life.

Featured CNC Tooling Solutions at IMTS

Hybrid Hydraulic/Shrink-Fit Chucks

• This tooling solution combines the high clamping force and runout accuracy of hydraulic chucks with the rigidity benefits of shrink fit in a single tool holder. It is ideal for high-speed finishing and applications where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are vital.

Smart Damper Thread-On Holders

• Chatter diminishes productivity. The Smart Damper Thread-On Holders use internal vibration damping technology to suppress chatter in long-overhang and difficult-to-reach cutting scenarios. This technology extends tool life, improves surface finish and enables difficult cuts.

Modular & Custom Tooling Systems

• When your machine cannot reach a feature, our angle heads can. These tools let you machine complex parts, which reduces setups, saves cycle time and expands the capability of your existing equipment.

New Product Exclusive Preview: KAISER EWR Digital Boring Head

Get your first look at the KAISER EWR digital boring head at IMTS.

Built on the proven EWN and EWE platforms, the EWR series features a simplified design with only essential onboard electronics. All advanced functions, including energy management, data processing and visual feedback, are managed through a high-resolution, full-color external reader.

The reader connects to the EWR boring head via a magnet and displays readout in any orientation. The reader communicates using near-field communication (NFC), ensuring stable and reliable data transmission. Operators can easily switch between inch and metric modes depending on application requirements. The system offers 1 µm (.00005”)Ø resolution and a rechargeable battery that supports up to 250 adjustments or up to two months in standby mode.

A single reader can be used across multiple EWR boring heads, making it a cost-effective solution compared to digital boring heads.

Meet Our Precision Tooling Experts at IMTS

BIG DAISHOWA applications engineers and technical specialists will be on hand throughout the IMTS show to discuss your specific machining challenges, walk you through product demos and help you identify where precision tooling can make a difference in your process. Bring your part print to get expert feedback on your toughest applications.

Who We Work With

Precision is a requirement across the range of industries we serve.

Aerospace

• Our tooling handles tight tolerances, difficult materials and the strict demands of structural and engine component machining.

Medical

• Micromachining components and surgical instruments require surface finishes and dimensional accuracy that our high-precision tooling delivers.

Automotive

• High-volume production means tool life and repeatability matter as much as accuracy. Our tool holders are engineered for both.

General Manufacturing

• Whether you run a job shop or a high-mix production floor, BIG DAISHOWA offers tooling solutions that improve performance across a wide range of applications.

BIG DAISHOWA at IMTS FAQ 

What will BIG DAISHOWA showcase at IMTS 2026?

• BIG DAISHOWA will feature live demonstrations of our precision tool holding systems. We will showcase hybrid hydraulic chucks, Smart Damper thread-on holders, angle heads and modular tooling systems. We will also give attendees an exclusive preview of the KAISER EWR digital boring head.

What tooling solutions improve machining accuracy?

• Runout control is the foundation of machining accuracy. BIG DAISHOWA hydraulic chucks, shrink-fit holders and precision boring heads are engineered to minimize runout at the cutting edge. This directly improves dimensional accuracy, surface finish and tool life.

What industries benefit from high-precision tooling?

• Any industry where dimensional accuracy, surface finish or tool life matters can benefit from our high-precision tooling solutions. BIG DAISHOWA works extensively with aerospace, medical, automotive and general manufacturing customers.
