• "Precision Finish Boring Tips And Tricks" - Presented by Matt Tegelman, Applications Manager & Product Manager - KAISER. The accuracy and rigidity of the boring tool plays a significant role in high precision hole making. However, critical consequences that cause scrap due to a hole that is over-size, out of round, tapered, or having poor surface quality need to be understood to be successful. The purpose of this topic is a practical user's guide to identify the causes and corrections for the most common issues associated with fine boring.
• "Tools And Techniques For Deep Hole Drilling" - Presented by Cory Cetkovic, Applications Engineer & Product Manager - Sphinx. Drilling holes beyond a depth to diameter ratio of more than 10:1 requires the right tool, the right machine, and, most importantly, the right process. There are several factors for successfully drilling a deep hole on the first try. This topic outlines the difficulties of deep hole drilling, provides an understanding for proper tool geometry based on material and gives the step by step procedure for tool selection and programming speeds, feeds and peck cycles.
• "Tool Holder Service And Maintenance" - Presented by Alan Miller, Engineering & Product Manager - BIG Daishowa. Tooling and accessories are one of the largest investments for any shop, second only to the machines themselves. Periodic cleaning and inspection for all components of a tool holder assembly should play an integral role in every shop's daily ritual. This topic will teach you how and when to replace a pullstud, a collet, or even a simple Weldon set screw as well as how to clean and store these precision parts so that they retain a value to the company.
• "Tool Holder Balance" - Presented by Jack Burley, VP Sales & Engineering. Users new to the world of high speed machining are often misled and confused by machine tool companies and tooling suppliers regarding allowable limits of unbalance for a tool holder. How do we measure imbalance and do I need a balancing machine? What is the difference between ISO 1940/1 and the new draft standard ISO 16084? This topic will teach you about balance quality and practical limitations based on tool holder size and speed.
• "Tool Presetting For The Intelligent Shop Floor" - Presented by Doug Sumner, Product Manager - Tool Measuring Systems. Tool management and the best path for any company to follow is never easy to establish. Besides tracking tool usage, an effective tool management system does much more than assigning tools to jobs and providing a total cost per part. This presentation will take a detailed look at component storage, tool assembly, tool presetting, tool tracking, tool life, returning tools and management monitoring tools to ensure the shop floor is running smoothly and profitably.
• "Are You Ready To Use Zero-Point Clamping?" - Presented by John Zaya, Applications Engineer & Product Manager - Workholding. Most shops identify with the need to reduce set up time to be more profitable. This presentation will explore the common issues of most shops before using a zero-point clamping system for workholding, and then go through the step by step process for implementation. Information to common questions such as how many zeropoint clamp chucks do we need, how do we place them and calculating ROI will be covered.
