Engineers at LORD Corp., a manufacturer of expensive and complex aerospace parts, were struggling to achieve tight tolerances for precision bores on a new engine mount prototype.
BIG KAISER’s Mega New Baby Chuck has been delivering extreme precision for more than 20 years and is now available with up to ø1″ clamping for drills, reamers and finishing end mills with .00004″ runout accuracy.
By exhibiting three different scenarios — machining, welding and assembly — project manager, John Zaya, shares knowledge on the importance of stability in a recent Fabricating & Metalworking article.
Tapping is an efficient way to create threads in a drilled hole and it makes the overall machining process easier. Burley goes on to discuss this in further detail by emphasizing how tapping has changed within the industry over the years.
Constantly optimizing processes and equipment to achieve an advantage over other race teams, Team Penske adopted tooling improvements based on its decision to expand usage of the BIG-Plus spindle interface and tool holders.
During IMTS, our EWE and EWA digital boring heads received a lot of attention. This is no surprise since Industry 4.0 is currently a main initiative for the industry.
Insufficient retention force of the spindle clamping mechanism could lead to reduced rigidity and vibrations, loss of machining quality, poor surface finish and shortened tool life. To help solve this problem, we have developed Dyna Force, a device for measuring the retention force of machine tool spindles.
The Tool Pro is a unique tool holding fixture developed by BIG KAISER for the assembly and disassembly of your tooling systems. The adapter of the Tool Pro can rotate 360º and lock in 45º increments.
For five days in September, the IMTS Network will stream binge-worthy programming tailored to the manufacturing community. On Thursday, September 17, IMTS Network will broadcast live from the BIG KAISER's showroom in Hoffman Estates, IL.
