BIG KAISER offers a mobile app to support boring operations. Leveraging the precision of BIG KAISER tooling through remote real-time information access further improves productivity and control on the factory floor.

BIG KAISER has developed a smartphone and tablet app to enhance the user-experience when assembling and running boring tools while providing extremely precise cutting data. This app will also help operators fine-tune the optimal cutting parameters for their tool assemblies. They can save their tool adjustment history in the app for future reference; this is an essential piece of the puzzle for shops joining the smart manufacturing movement.

Fifty BIG KAISER boring heads, covering diameters from .016" up to 24.41" are currently supported by this app. Cutting data for roughing and finishing tools is available in both inch and metric units.

Using the app is child's play: Choose your tool, enter your application values, calculate your cutting data, input it into your control, make a measuring bore, adjust the tool, and bore away.

“Today, machining is just as much about controlling processes as the actual tools themselves. Manufacturing needs accurate, real-time and mobile information management and this new app delivers just that,” says Chris Kaiser, CEO at BIG KAISER. “We are very excited by the app's crisp visual appearance, ease of use and the extremely precise cutting data that it will provide to our customers – everything at their fingertips for improved productivity and control.”

The key benefit that this app brings the user is that machine and tool data, parameters and settings are always available and can be monitored remotely in real-time. Comprehensive information is displayed on a large legible screen, providing greater comfort than the existing on-machine interface. More precise information should lead to improved decision-making, thereby contributing to the bottom line.

The app is available now for free download from the App Store and Google Play by searching “BIG KAISER Boring App.”

boring
boring
Enlarging a hole that already has been drilled or cored. Generally, it is an operation of truing the previously drilled hole with a single-point, lathe-type tool. Boring is essentially internal turning, in that usually a single-point cutting tool forms the internal shape. Some tools are available with two cutting edges to balance cutting forces.

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

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling is adding more than 30 pressed-geometry carbide inserts for its tools. The new insert design is the result of extensive research and testing.

CAT50 Smart Damper
