New
BIG Kaiser Angle Heads Combine Operations,
Improving Accuracy, Increasing Productivity |
| |
| ELK
GROVE VILLAGE, IL—New BIG Kaiser Angle Heads combine
vertical, horizontal and angular operations on one machine,
improving runout accuracy and eliminating the potential for
error created by multiple setups. They increase productivity
by easily changing the angle of the cutter without repositioning
the workpiece. |
| |
| BIG Kaiser Angle
Heads feature superior quality components. They are equipped
with hardened and ground chrome-nickel steel spiral bevel gears,
super precision hardened and ground spindles, and high precision
angular contact ball bearings. |
| |
| A compact design
assures rigidity and minimizes overhang, shortening projection
length and reducing overall load. Minimized overhang also helps
eliminate interference with the automatic tool changer (ATC)
and connecting storage pockets in the tool magazine. |
| |
| Universal
Type Angle Heads (AGU series) are offered for machining all
angles
from 0 to 90 degrees with only one set-up. Angles are easily
adjusted and precisely set at 1 degree increments with a positive
locating system. Models for 40 taper machines offer up to ½” collet
capacity and run at speeds up to 6,000 RPM. 50 taper models offer
up to ¾” collet capacity and run at speeds up to
4,000 RPM. |
| |
| 90
degree (AG90 series) Angle Heads offer fixed 90 degree angle
in a variety
of tapers, lengths and collet capacities (.010" to .787"),
using BIG Kaiser’s new high precision Baby Chuck system.
A Twin Angle Head provides two cutter heads 180 degrees apart,
fixed at 90 degrees. AG90 Angle Heads offer speeds from 3,000
to 8,000 RPM. |
| |
| In
the AG90 series, HMC Type Angle Heads offer the combination
of power and large
diameter tool capacity, using BIG Kaiser’s Hi-Power Milling
Chuck system. Available in CV and BT 50 taper models, the HMC
type Angle Head has a maximum speed of 3,000 RPM and tool diameter
of 1¼”. This model is offered as High Rigidity “S” Type
made with a steel housing and reinforced locating pin for applications
that require heavier cutting loads. |
| |
| Build-Up Type Angle
Heads can be fitted with a wide range of 35 taper adapters to
cover most machining requirements. Adapters are available for
end mills, shell mills, slitting saws, drills, and tapping attachments. |
| |
| BIG Kaiser Angle
Heads use an advanced non-contact sealing method that prevents
coolant and particle contamination. A unique coolant jacket allows
coolant coming through the stop block to be efficiently directed
to the tool cutting edge while simultaneously cooling the Angle
Head. |
| |
| Simultaneous
dual contact between the machine spindle face and the tool
holder
flange face and the machine spindle taper and tool holder taper
shank is also available, using the BIG PLUS Spindle System. Simultaneous
spindle and flange contact greatly enhances rigidity and repeatability,
which yields many benefits in higher metal removal rates, higher
accuracy, improved surface finish, and extended tool life. The
BIG PLUS System’s increased rigidity assures the utmost
performance of the Angle Head, resulting in more powerful machining. |
