Cleanliness is key to achieving good runout control when assembling tool holders. Small particles or oil in a tool holder can cause large runout of the cutting tool, deceasing tool life and performance.
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.
John Saunders, a machine owner known for running the popular CNC machining YouTube channel, stopped by BIG KAISER to discuss presetters with our product manager.
Our CNC workholding solutions provide flexibility and functionality for 5-axis and 5-sided machining, maximizing benefits through efficient workholding.
Our technical specialist will connect with you on a virtual meeting to demonstrate the added value that a tool presetter can bring to your shop. This is a great opportunity for you to ask questions that are specific to your business.
Understanding and controlling runout is crucial for any machine shop looking to maintain competitive advantages in today's precision-driven manufacturing environment.
TEAM PENSKE welcomed visitors to its race shop and headquarters in Mooresville, NC, for their annual Machining Technology Summit. Manufacturing professionals learned about new technology for metal cutting and went behind the scenes at this fast-paced motorsports manufacturing facility.
Exciting improvements in automation are already on their way—higher productivity, increased safety, greater throughput and less scrap. Tool digitalization provides opportunities for production improvements, like our EWE digital fine boring tool. It displays the actual diameter of a tool, makes adjustments much simpler and faster, and reduces human error.
