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.
BIG KAISER is accelerating workholding technology to match the level of the ever-more popular and accessible multiaxis machining. The UNIFLEX system is composed of a clamping ball and collar that are attached to the underside of a part or fixture. The clamping ball is a hardened steel ball of the same type found in heavy-duty industrial bearings. This material prevents peening or denting of its surface with normal use.
Once the clamping ball and collar are attached, the part and fixture are then lowered onto either a clamping base or a clamping extension. The clamping collar is then rotated to tighten the six bearing balls on to the main ball. If the part or fixture is warped or needs to be set at an angle, the clamping ball can pivot up to 15° of the vertical with 18mm of height adjustability or 40° with 20mm of height adjustability.
The UNIFLEX System 50mm has an increased clamping ball size, which allows it to work with larger, heavier, uneven parts and provides more rigidity. Balls are offered in two types: location type, which uses a 25mm-dia. location collar, while a grip type has serrations to grab the part. Grip type is not to be used on finished surfaces.
This system provides vibration-free holding of the part when multiple clamping is used and has low-wear against tools. It also can stabilize the workpieces without obstructing access to the top and sides of the part. The two sizes available enable users to work with small or large workpieces like weldments and castings.
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.
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,…
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…
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…
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.
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.
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…
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.
In order to offer more flexibility to customers, BIG KAISER has moved production of its CAT50 milling adapters to the U.S. The product performance and design will not change, but the move allows for more variation and faster delivery of special lengths for specific applications.
BIG KAISER has two powerful accessories crafted to improve in-process efficiency: ChipFans and T-slot covers. When used together with a machine that delivers on speed and accuracy, these accessories help machines reach maximum levels of productivity—even during downtime.
