BIG-PLUS OVERVIEW
IMPROVEMENT OF ATC REPEATABILITY The BIG-PLUS Spindle System ensures the highest precision location of the tool holder in the spindle when using the ATC for loading tools as a result of the dual contact, which precisely positions the tool holder within 1 micron.

MINIMIZED DEFLECTION FOR MAXIMUM MACHINING ACCURACY & SUPERIOR FINISH With BIG-PLUS simultaneous contact, machining rigidity is greatly enhanced due to the larger contact diameter of the tool holder flange face. This larger face contact, combined with the taper contact, works together to resist deflection. With less deflection, greater machining accuracy and superior finish can be achieved.
