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.

As we think about ways to reduce the number of interactions, we started thinking about automation. Specifically, our UNILOCK automation chucks to streamline the load and unloading process.

Workholding plays a critical role in the metalworking equipment equation. Chuck condition is becoming even more important in multi-axis machining where additional angles and motion can amplify problems.

In a recently published article in Manufacturing Engineering, BIG KAISER contributes to the conversations of the evolution of five-axis machines.

When clamping for five-axis machining, access to the part is an issue many metalworking shops face.

In a recently published article for Fabricating & Metalworking magazine, our workholding product manager, John Zaya, shares a variety of ways zero-point workholding systems are valuable in manufacturing operations.

In an article published this month in Shop Metalworking Technology magazine, John Zaya, our workholding ​​​​​​​product manager, discusses the introduction of zero-point workholding like Unilock to the shop floor.

According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, the definition for TIP is a piece of advice or expert or authoritative information.
