BIG KAISER announces that it has expanded its modular CK family with new types for rough boring.

The new Smart Damper SW head for the CK1, CK2 and CKB3 includes BIG KAISER’s Smart Damper technology, which minimizes vibration and eliminates chatter.

BIG KAISER's modular CK system is the world's most versatile tooling system. These new parts mean that the CK modular precision tool system is now available for the full range of the company’s rough boring products of the SW family. This makes SW heads more versatile than ever before—and boosts the already impressive stability of CK-compatible connections. BIG KAISER CK is found on rough boring heads, fine boring heads, bridge tools, and many accessories.

“Smart Damper SW Heads offer boring efficiency six times higher, twice the cutting depth and three times the cutting conditions of other rough boring heads,” said Giampaolo Roccatello, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer for Europe at BIG KAISER. “The Smart Damper technology makes boring quieter, more efficient and vibration-free.”

Based on a cylindrical connection with radial locking screw, the CK system has been continuously improved over the years, to adapt to customers’ changing needs and the increases in machine tool performance. Compatibility to existing tools has always been a requirement for newer designs, and all components are available from stock.

The CK system is fully compatible with all machine tool interfaces and enables customers to create tool assemblies specifically for their requirements, including extending tools for machining in deep cavities. The integration of Smart Damper shortens the distance from the damping mechanism to the cutting edge, which is the source of vibration. This increase damping effects to the tool assembly to minimize vibration and achieve better surface finishes and improved metal removal rates.

The Smart Damper SW head for the CK1, CK2 and CKB3 is available now.
