BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. will have a variety of products from its family of tooling brands in booth 1035 at WESTEC, Sept. 15-17 in Los Angeles. "Visitors to the booth will find several solutions for boring, toolholding, presetting and workholding," said a company spokesperson.
Boring
"The newest ready-to-go finish boring kit from KAISER, based on the EWN 2-50XL head, provides everything to tool up for boring jobs in a wide range of diameters, Ø.700 inch to 6 inches, with just one head," said the spokesperson. "To make this new range possible with one boring head instead of two as before, the engineers at KAISER came up with a new, rigid, dynamic center-mounted boring bar/insert holder capable of maintaining consistent precision throughout the full range of the center-mount option."
Toolholding
BIG Daishowa's two latest products designed with anti-vibration and anti-pullout technology will be displayed. "The Smart Damper virtually eliminates vibration in deep-hole finish boring and extended-reach face milling," said the spokesperson. "A unique mechanism functions as both counter and friction dampers, resulting in better surface finishes, faster metal removal rates and higher accuracy. Integral and modular solutions are available. Also on display will be the Mega Perfect Grip, a no-slip, anti-pullout milling chuck that combines the cutting performance of heavy-duty milling chucks with security against pullout of solid side lock toolholders."
Tool Presetters
A pair of presetter options will be on hand at WESTEC. "The DIASET bench-top presetter is designed with sturdy construction and repeatable accuracy," said the spokesperson. The latest generation of this entry-level presetter includes new amenities such as a camera and 8" LCD touchscreen. "This new combination enables angle, radius and length measurements," said the spokesperson. "Plus, two built-in USB ports allow for simultaneous data saving and printer connection, reducing risk of human error.
"The MAGIS is the only bench-top tool presetter with built-in retention knob clamping. This strong, repeatable seating in the spindle - mimicking that of a machine tool - is one reason the MAGIS achieves accuracy and repeatability. Plus, a new full CNC spindle and X- and Y-axis controls allow for automated measuring cycles."
Workholding
The two newest versions of BIG Kaiser's ESM 138 round chuck will be seen at WESTEC. "Both are direct swaps for the original chuck design," said the spokesperson. "The new ESM 138 Turbo is built with a closed back, keeping the mechanisms clean and giving it turbo capability - more than doubling the clamping force, up to roughly 3,520 lbs. - by simply connecting an air source. This version also has slotted pin actuation for faster, stronger transfer of clamping force upon closing.
"The other update, the ERGO 138, also features a closed back. The back cover has an air blast port which allows for cleaning of the knob and chuck before locking, ensuring firm and consistent positioning. Rectangular clamping pins are substituted for standard round pins for a knee-type lock and reduction of slippage. The body height of 28 mm is 11 mm shorter than the standard ESM 138, providing more workable area, and the contact ring has been expanded to Ø80 mm from Ø60 mm for a larger contact surface area."
