BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. has introduced a new, high-precision hydraulic chuck for clamping straight shank tools with diameters ¼" to 1 ¼" and 6mm to 32mm. They are ideal for tools such as drills, reamers, ball mills, endmills and other tools used in processes that require extreme accuracy and a fine surface finish.
"Our customers in the automotive, aerospace and medical fields will love this tool holder for its precision and stability," says Jack Burley, BIG Kaiser vice president of sales and engineering. "What's more, cutting tools can be easily clamped and unclamped with just one wrench."
The hydraulic chucks are pre-balanced to within 15 gr.mm for vibration-free machining at speeds of up to 20,000 RPM. Precision and rigidity are improved due to an integral sleeve construction, dual-oil pressure points and a short projection length. They feature runout accuracy guaranteed to less than .00012" (3µm) at 4xD and repeatability less than .00006" (1.5µm), shown to improve the surface finish of workpieces and extend tool life. They are available for BIG-PLUS (CAT and BT), HSK and CAPTO interfaces.
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.
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.
BIG KAISER’s Mega New Baby Chuck is now available up to 1"-dia. clamping for drills, reamers and finishing endmills with 0.00004" runout accuracy. The Mega New Baby Chuck is a high precision and multiple-purpose collet chuck system.
BIG KAISER says its Mega ER Grip was designed to outperform all standard ER systems in the four most critical areas of toolholder performance: clamping force, concentricity, rigidity and balance at high spindle speeds. All Mega ER holders are now sold without a standard clamping nut so that…
