In 2023, around 10 percent of global GDP growth was attributable to clean energy. Clean electricity accounted for about 80 percent of the newly added power generation capacity in our electricity grids (source: IEA). The large and rapidly growing industry is of strategic importance to the manufacturing landscape both in Europe and worldwide.

For the energy industry, numerous complex parts need to be manufactured, such as turbine casings, bearing housings, compressor casings, burners, blade carrier rings, turbine shafts, and pumps. These components require high precision and cutting performance with high feed rates and even cuts, even with widespread, hard materials such as Waspaloy and Inconel.

The comprehensive range of tool solutions from Big Kaiser offers numerous products that enable such precise and efficient manufacturing. A specific example is Big Kaiser's Smart Damper for large diameters, which was specifically developed for making holes in large workpieces and is therefore particularly suitable for the energy industry, such as wind and water power.

The patented Smart Damper is available for bores with a diameter of up to 320 mm and allows precise and effective vibration control during drilling operations with such large diameters.

"Due to its modularity and advanced damping characteristics, the Smart Damper allows for a significant increase in cutting speeds, allowing companies to increase their productivity and reduce machining time," explains Giampaolo Roccatello, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer for Europe at Big Kaiser.

"In addition, unwanted vibrations are reduced, which can affect machining quality and accuracy," Roccatello continues. "This contributes to improving the surface quality of the machined parts and thus reduces the costs of final finishing and ensures compliance with the industry's strict quality standards."

The Smart Damper is ideally suited for a variety of applications in the large diameter boring industry. It can be used for machining critical components for hydroelectric power plants, such as electric motor housings and turbine casings, as well as for the manufacture of structural parts in the aerospace industry, such as spars and structural components. Its versatility and performance make it an indispensable tool for improving the efficiency and quality of machining in these demanding industries.
