BIG KAISER has developed Dyna Force, a device for measuring the retention force of machine tool spindles. Insufficient retention force of the spindle clamping mechanism could lead to reduced rigidity and vibrations, loss of machining quality, poor surface finish and shortened tool life. By ensuring that the retention force is at the correct level, cutting performance remains consistent, providing high-quality machining results.
"The Dyna Force makes regular measurement of the retention force easy and accurate, preemptively mitigating the risk of machine damage or poor machining quality resulting from a low force on the spindle," said Jack Burley, vice president of sales and engineering.
The lightweight and compact Dyna Force includes a digital display, cable and robust storage case. Dyna Force is available for 30, 40 and 50 cones, with one common digital display for all taper sizes. It is also fully compatible with BIG-PLUS spindles.
BIG KAISER says its hydraulic chucks for Swiss-type lathes are the first improvement to this technology in more than 30 years. These toolholders use a single wrench, which makes for a quick and easy change of the cutting tools on a gang slide.
BIG KAISER introduces two versions of the C-Centering Cutter, a multifunction cutter capable of spot drilling, centering and chamfering. The C-Centering Cutter is an indexable cutter that uses a specialized insert that can start a hole from a solid piece, something extremely difficult to do. It can…
BIG KAISER presents the Torque Fit, a tightening fixture for collet chucks with an integrated torque measuring system. This device makes it easy to ensure that a collet chuck is correctly tightened.
BIG KAISER Precision Tooling Inc. has added the Dyna Contact to its product offering. The ceramic taper gage allows inspection of machine spindle tapers at a glance.
BIG KAISER announced its new Level Master Wireless, a high-precision device for the leveling of machine tool tables. The Level Master Wireless adds wireless connectivity to enable leveling information to be read from a separate display device, making it easier to ensure that a precision level is…
BIG KAISER’s UNIFLEX system is a 3D zero-point clamping system designed to allow parts with curved surfaces to be held rigidly for various operations and be adjusted to different height requirements. The UNIFLEX system is available in two diameters: 25.4mm and 50mm.
The precision and ruggedness of BIG KAISER boring heads deliver measurable performance advantages, significantly reducing finishing cost and cycle time. This is proven through the development of the EWE digital boring head.
BIG KAISER announces its HDC Straight Shank holder to the market, used for increased versatility. The slim design provides superior balance, concentricity and is suitable for reaching into confined areas.
BIG KAISER introduces the Base Master Red, a high-precision touch sensor that rapidly determines workpiece offsets and tool lengths, and the Base Master Mini, a thin, compact tool offset sensor.
BIG KAISER has introduced the R-Cutter CKB Type, a new modular round chamfering tool. The R-Cutter CKB3 and CKB5 is an ultrahigh-feed front and back radius chamfering mill, which features high rake angles that reduce cutting resistance and minimize burr generation.
