ITC reveals Big Kaiser Dyna Test bar for spindles

So that manufacturers can apply preventative measures which eliminate part rejects and excessive tool wear caused by spindle issues, Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC) has introduced the Dyna Test system from Big Kaiser to the UK market.

Undertaking regular inspections with Dyna Test can identify potential problems with spindles and bearings to reduce costly downtime and lost production, as well as avoid expensive repairs. When machine spindle damage is not detected at an early stage, it can evolve into a more serious issue that will have a major impact on machining operations, potentially causing product rejections and excessive tool wear.

The Dyna Test device is simply clamped in the machine spindle and then rotated. A dial gauge measures the deflection of the test mandrel, checking the concentricity of the spindle. While this test can be performed with a tool to identify concentricity inaccuracies, it is still necessary to determine whether the problem is caused by the spindle, the shank or the tool itself. The Dyna Test bar identifies spindle inaccuracies immediately, eliminating all other variables.

To meet the requirements of ISO9000, Big Kaiser can provide a calibration certificate with complete traceability upon request. Additionally, to ensure the highest possible precision levels, all Dyna Test bars are produced under a strict quality control system.

ITC can offer the Dyna Test bars for BBT, BDV, HSK and Big Capto configured spindles. The test bars are protected in a sturdy aluminium storage case to prevent damage.
