BIG DAISHOWA News

BIG DAISHOWA has expanded its lineup of Smart Damper-integrated products to include 318 Large Bore Systems and the CK1, CK2 and CKB3 systems.

The EWA Automatic Fine Boring System performs closed-loop boring operations without a human operator.

The new SW BIG CAPTO Rough Boring Head makes it possible to perform rough and finish boring processes.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling has released two smaller sizes of the EWN Smart Damper precision boring heads, which eliminate vibration in deep-hole finish boring with a patented damping system.

By using digital technology and optimized indexable inserts, Schmauser Müller Metalltechnik has increased process reliability and efficiency in fine boring, as well as increased the lifetime of its tools by a factor of three.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling is expanding its offering of digital boring heads to include head sizes down to the CKB1 modular tooling connection size, which means boring down to Ø.787” for Series 310 peripheric heads, and Ø.016” for Series 112 centric boring heads.

Otto Martin Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG has been manufacturing woodworking machinery since 1922. They know a thing or two about precision tools.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling’s Nick Jew discusses connected boring tools and how they improve data collection.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling has released two new insert chip-breaker types designed to improve surface finish in long-chipping materials.

Lead angles close to 90° more effectively combat potentially damaging chatter and vibration because they apply the least amount of radial pressure.

The Mini Indexable Boring Bar helps meet the increasing demand for successfully boring small parts in industries like medical and aerospace, such as machined medical implant devices and micro-sized components.

How in the world could all of this connectivity extend to the very smallest of metalworking equipment and tooling in a way that could possibly have a dramatic effect on shops?

The importance of meticulously prepping, starting, and finishing holes can’t be emphasized enough.

The precision and ruggedness of BIG KAISER boring heads deliver measurable performance advantages, significantly reducing finishing cost and cycle time.

Just in time (JIT) manufacturing, by nature, increases setups and shrinks batch sizes. This puts shops in a bind, because more setups and smaller batches are typically less profitable; but saying "no" to work can be even more painful. The burden to search out creative ways to reduce cycle and setup time in order to realize a profit falls to the shops that commonly perform JIT work and on the shops that can’t afford to turn it down when the opportunity arises.

While the latest machine tool technology may go a long way towards eliminating vibration and chatter, adding a new one may not be realistic. Luckily, there are less disruptive options that can make positive impacts on vibration without breaking the bank.

The limitations of using milling tools to prepare holes for finishing become apparent as hole depth and volume increase. Enter the relatively simple and affordable twin cutter, which can solve this and virtually any other holemaking problem.

BIG KAISER announces the release of new insert holders for face grooving.

BIG KAISER introduces the EWN & EWD Smart Damper - precision boring heads with a patented damping system to eliminate vibration in deep-hole finish boring.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling Inc. introduces a new small-diameter indexable rough boring solution for a range not previously available.

Deep hole boring comes with challenges created by the inevitable deflection that occurs when trying to finish a hole of a substantial depth. Various factors determine the best approach to solving the issue, and it’s important to consider all factors before choosing a solution for your boring needs.

Aerospace is unique among industries in its thirst for component accuracy with ‘blemish-free’ precision. Unlike any other industry, anything that goes into the air has to be on spec, as the smallest imperfection in machining can adversely affect flight safety.

The return on investment from digital boring comes from the time saved making adjustments on the spindle, as well as the increased adjustment accuracy.

With a little knowhow and the right tools, see how you can significantly reduce cycle time by rough boring instead of performing a helical interpolation with a mill.

Boring tools with a digital readout aren’t the standard in U.S. shops, but their use is growing.

BIG KAISER has announced the smallest precision finish boring head on the market—for use on micro-milling machines with high-speed spindles.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling Inc. has been adding digital boring head options since 2010, beginning with the Series 112 for small diameter finish boring.

Complete with a built-in digital display, BIG KAISER's new Series 112 EWD 2-54 Digital Precision Finish Boring Head allows operators to make precision adjustments on the fly.

BIG KAISER's 319 SW series is an exceptionally rigid, new style, twin cutter rough boring system.
