Welcome BIG KAISER
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (March 10, 2021) – The management team of Okuma America Corporation, a world-leading builder of CNC machine tools, controls and automation systems, is pleased to announce that BIG KAISER Precision Tooling Inc. has recently joined the Partners in THINC network!
BIG KAISER manufactures high-performance, high-tolerance tooling with a broad product portfolio including tool holders, boring tools, cutting tools, workholding and measuring instruments that are engineered to exacting standards. One of BIG KAISER’s most notable innovations is the BIG-PLUS Spindle System, where the shank contacts the spindle taper and the spindle face simultaneously to provide increased tool rigidity, accuracy and repeatability.
“We are excited to have BIG KAISER as a member of the Partners in THINC network, particularly since Okuma machining centers are equipped with BIG-PLUS Spindle Systems! Our companies have worked closely together for several years, and now our formal alliance will further enhance our mutual offerings to customers,” said Wade Anderson, manager of Okuma’s Partners in THINC network program.
Partners in THINC is a collaborative network of 40+ companies that service the metal-cutting and manufacturing industries. The partners come together to solve problems and explore new productivity ideas for real-world manufacturers. As a member of Partners in THINC, BIG KAISER’s goal is to help Okuma customers achieve their highest level of productivity by identifying opportunities in an operation and delivering solutions that provide true and measurable performance advantages, said Jack Burley, president and COO of BIG KAISER.
