Live Demo Video: New Digital Boring Head and App
The EWD EVO digital boring head from Big Kaiser connects with newly developed smartphone and tablet app.
At IMTS 2016, Big Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. introduced the EWD EVO, a digital boring head designed with ease of use as a priority. It has been designed to synch with the company’s new smartphone and tablet app, which was developed to enhance user friendliness while assembling and running Big Kaiser boring tools. Not only will users be able to read the cutting diameter change, but the app will also help operators determine optimal cutting parameters from their tool assemblies. The app will also log historical adjustments for all tools ever synched with it, the company says.
Check out the live demo taped on the first day of IMTS 2016.
