BIG KAISER Tools Available from ITC

Tom Skubala is in charge of this episode of MTDCNC’s Technical Corner with Paul Ensor from tooling specialist ITC. Their BIG KAISER Hi-Power Milling Chuck combines exceptional precision and run-out, high torque capability and unparalleled rigidity. Despite being designed as a milling chuck, the new Hi-Power chuck is well suited to applications such as boring, chamfering, reaming, drilling and much more. The Hi-Power chuck achieves instantly noticeable results that are a credit to its design structure. The chuck has a rigid design with roller bearings that optimise run-out performance whilst the innovative sealing technology extends tool life considerably. These features are underpinned by an annular section that epitomises rigidity, but also retains the ability to collapse in order to provide sufficient grip and prevent tool pull out. With holes and slits throughout the annular section inside the chuck, the Hi-Power system delivers the optimal combination of rigidity and grip. The result of this innovative design is a concentricity that is guaranteed to be within 10 microns at 4XD. Available in sizes from 3mm to 32mm. BIG KAISERS Synchro Tapping Heads can tap up to 2.4 times more holes than a collect chuck, drastically improving thread quality and measurably increasing tool life. By absorbing pitch difference between the tap and spindle when using rigid tapping it can reduce trust loads by 90% helping to reduce tap breakages. BIG KAISER products are available from tooling specialist ITC.
