BIG KAISER is expanding its range of BIG Capto toolholders with the addition of a new size, C4, which is becoming increasingly popular as a quick-change system for turret tooling on lathes.

In accordance with ISO 26623-1, the polygon shape of the taper on this toolholder provides for highly repeatable accuracy and torque transmission. This system complements BIG KAISER’s Mega chuck rotating tooling program.

BIG Capto C4 is now offered for both rotating toolholders and turning tools for lathes. Its integral design allows for holding a variety of common inserts for different approach angles and clearance requirements in both left- and right-hand orientations. These compact and rigid tools also allow for large depth of cuts and feed rates.

Related Glossary Terms

chuck
chuck
Workholding device that affixes to a mill, lathe or drill-press spindle. It holds a tool or workpiece by one end, allowing it to be rotated. May also be fitted to the machine table to hold a workpiece. Two or more adjustable jaws actually hold the tool or part. May be actuated manually, pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically. See collet.
clearance
clearance
Space provided behind a tool’s land or relief to prevent rubbing and subsequent premature deterioration of the tool. See land; relief.
feed
feed
Rate of change of position of the tool as a whole, relative to the workpiece while cutting.
toolholder
toolholder
Secures a cutting tool during a machining operation. Basic types include block, cartridge, chuck, collet, fixed, modular, quick-change and rotating.
turning
turning
Workpiece is held in a chuck, mounted on a face plate or secured between centers and rotated while a cutting tool, normally a single-point tool, is fed into it along its periphery or across its end or face. Takes the form of straight turning (cutting along the periphery of the workpiece); taper turning (creating a taper); step turning (turning different-size diameters on the same work); chamfering (beveling an edge or shoulder); facing (cutting on an end); turning threads (usually external but can be internal); roughing (high-volume metal removal); and finishing (final light cuts). Performed on lathes, turning centers, chucking machines, automatic screw machines and similar machines.

SPERONI SPI (Simple Post Interface)

SPI Presetter Option Speeds Up Data Transfer to the Machine Center

As opposed to measuring, printing a label and punching the data into the control, SPI prints a tool label with a QR code at the presetter that’s then read by the SPI module at the machine control. The system can also be configured to send measurements directly into the tool NC’s offset table.

Sphinx Nirox

The Nirox geometry has a degressive helix angle equal to 30 degrees at the point and is designed for accurate and precise hole location up to 9xD. A modern, TiAlSiN based coating allows for enhanced chip and coolant evacuation in difficult to machine and adhesive materials, such as titanium,…

EWE Digital Boring Heads

Sizes added to to EWE Digital Boring Head Program

Due to the small sizes of these boring heads, the digital display will no longer be present on the head itself, rather the adjustment value will be shown on a separate mobile device or tablet that has the BIG KAISER App installed. Once connected to the head, the App also can be used to set the…

EWA Automatic Adjustment Fine Boring System

The EWA68 boring head has a travel range of .866” on diameter, and with the smallest insert holder, it covers the range of Ø2.677-3.543”. This means that similar-sized bores on the same part could be produced with a single boring head. With the addition of two larger insert holders, the range can…

Sphinx Noventa

Chamfering the entry and exit of 0.80mm to 6.00mm holes can be a tedious, time-consuming process. The Noventa from Sphinx can transform this process using an innovative geometry that improves cycle time, tool life and surface quality.

Jet-Through Hydraulic Chuck Line

The HDC jet-through type holders are ideal for high-precision 5-axis machining with maximum RPM of 35,000 and clamping range of ¼” to ½” and fit nearly any application in the automotive, aerospace, medical, and die and mold industries.

Chip Breaker Inserts

The exclusive FLM 3D chip-breaker design is used on PCD-tipped inserts ideal for finishing of aluminum components, where traditional flat-top inserts may produce a large continuous nest of chips that is difficult to remove from the bore and/or tool, even with high-pressure coolant. Three different…

Pressed-Geometry Carbide Inserts
