BIG Kaiser introduces cutting data app

At last year’s IMTS, BIG Kaiser, Hoffman Estates, Ill., unveiled its first mobile app designed to support boring operations.
The app helps operators fine-tune the optimal cutting parameters for their tool assemblies. They also can save the tool adjustment history in the app for future reference.
Fifty of the company’s boring heads, covering diameters from 0.016 in. to 24.41 in., currently are supported by this app. Cutting data for roughing and finishing tools is available in both inch and metric units.
To use the app, machinists simply choose the tool, enter application values, calculate cutting data, input it into the control, make a measuring bore, adjust the tool, and start the boring process.
“Today machining is just as much about controlling processes as the actual tools themselves. Manufacturing needs accurate, real time, and mobile information management and this new app delivers just that,” said CEO Chris Kaiser.
According to the company, the key benefit that this app brings the user is that machine and tool data, parameters, and settings are always available and can be monitored remotely in real-time. More precise information should lead to improved decision-making, thereby contributing to the bottom line.
The app is available now for free download from the App Store and Google Play.
