ITC Introduces next generation of digital boring heads from BIG KAISER

Now available from Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC) is a new generation of digital boring heads with wireless connectivity from BIG KAISER.  Recently receiving a world premiere at the EMO Exhibition, the new EWE connects to BIG KAISER's user-friendly Smartphone and tablet app to make it easier to monitor and configure the head while assembling and running boring tools.

The EWE is now in production and is available in the UK from Tamworth cutting tool specialist ITC. The innovative app helps operators determine optimal cutting parameters for their tool assemblies and it also displays changes in cutting diameters. Furthermore, the EWE system also logs the tool adjustment history for future reference.

Such is the level of innovation behind the EWE; that BIG KAISER has applied for two patents for the new system. One is the RF antenna that radiates through the display and battery positioning and 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.

Referring to this impressive new development, Giampaolo Roccatello, VP Sales at BIG KAISER says: “BIG KAISER is at the leading edge of applying latest technology to machining. The EWE and the app demonstrate how new mobile and wireless developments can provide practical benefits to customers.”
