New Tooling

April 1, 2010

BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. will showcase a number of new products at the show from BIG Daishowa, Kaiser, Sphinx, Speroni, and Unilock.

BIG Kaiser’s new CKN modular connection for large boring tools features a three-screw interface, which was designed to provide high clamping forces for maximum torque transmission. The new system utilizes both steel and aluminum components to offer weight reductions up to 50 percent. This allows for better machine performance, easier handling, and eliminates manual tool changes in many instances, according to the company.

Also on display will be the company’s newest holder for synchronous tapping, the Mega Synchro. This tapping holder compensates for synchronization error during rigid tapping by reducing the thrust load to both the tap and workpiece by up to 90 percent.  While improving thread quality and tap life, the error compensation is facilitated through a mechanism which absorbs the pitch difference between the tap and synchronous spindle.
