BIG KAISER App based Boring head – ITC present the future at EMO 2017
BIG KAISER, a global leader in premium high-precision tooling systems and solutions for the metalworking industries, today announced the EWE, the first in a new generation of digital boring heads with wireless connectivity. The EWE connects to BIG KAISER's user-friendly smartphone and tablet app, making it easier to monitor and configure the head while assembling and running boring tools. The EWE is available and is now in production.
The app helps operators determine optimal cutting parameters for their tool assemblies, and displays changes in cutting diameters. It also logs the tool adjustment history for future reference.
BIG KAISER has applied for two patents for innovations in the EWE: an RF antenna that radiates through the display and battery positioning that simplifies replacement. By building new technology solutions and using its in-house electronics expertise, BIG KAISER is ensuring that it stays at the forefront of Industry 4.0 developments.
