TOOLHOLDING SOLUTIONS MICRON & MOLD CHUCKS
Showa Micron Chucks are accurate to 1μm at the nose and 2μm at 3xD. The Mold Chuck’s narrow design accurately mills & drills in tight spaces without costly equipment. Available in BT, CV, HSK, BBT & BCV
Technology Data Gathered Locally Shared Globally Okuma America Corp. (Charlotte, NC) has formalized its global approach to aerospace machining to position itself to deal with the onslaught of applications and business growing out of the aircraft backlog of orders. “We’ve created a team of people from our three top markets—US, Europe, and Japan—who are sharing data, case his- tory experience, to fi nd the sweet spots in Okuma’s aerospace technology,” said Bob Baldizzi, principal engineer. “Our goal is to customize our machines using our single-source technologies for ma- chining jet engine rotating components, disks, blisks, and hubs,” said Baldizzi.
“Because we have our own control, we can get data out of the actual cutting dynamics quite effortlessly.”

“When you think of a hub or a disk on the hot side of an engine with slots that have to be milled in the periphery of these disks, it’s absolutely critical that the machines perform with utmost accuracy,” said Baldizzi. “Because we have our own control, we can get data out of the actual cutting dynamics quite effortlessly. We’ve had custom- ers ask us for monitoring capability that coolant fl ow sensors, coolant temperature sensors, and vibration analysis sensors can provide. We can package these data-gathering points together and create part tracking using a bar code and a part’s serial number including inspection information for complete traceability.” Okuma’s aerospace machine models include the Multus B750, multifunction machine with center distances up to 6 m for turning as well as machining.
