Workholding

Nontraditional workholding solutions at BIG KAISER

Metal working facilities constantly strive to reduce machining times, and saving a minute or two here or there can really add up. According to John Zaya, workholding product manager for Big Kaiser, time savings can be achieved using flexible workholding systems. This is especially true for companies that have a high part mix, low volume, and when parts might be tall, large, or oddly shaped.

Standard inserts now available in a wide range of widths from 0.010" – 0.125", with different edge configurations for parting, grooving, back-turning, side-turning, profiling and threading. The insert and toolholders enable the machining of miniature parts with right and left capabilities next to the shoulder of the workpiece.
