Nikken Milling Chuck: Revolutionary Innovation
After the Nikken Milling Chuck was introduced to the market for the first time in 1963, the straight shank end mill was launched, and thus the Nikken Milling Chuck contributed not only to the Japanese market but to industries worldwide as well. The Nikken milling chuck continued to be improved and has developed into the new Ultra-Lock model.
Nikken CNC Rotary Table with Carbide Worm System
Nikken was appointed to produce the retainers for the initial design of the wheels on the bullet train when the Tokaido Shinkasen line (Tokyo-Osaka) was launched in 1964. The component was one of the most difficult to produce requiring higher precision and finish compared to typical components of the early 1960’s. Since 1984, all Nikken CNC rotary tables have implemented the carbide worm system and hardened steel worm wheel design to create durability and less friction in between gears. Over the years the table standard rotation speed of 5min−¹ has been substantially improved to the high speed of 44min−¹, ushering in a new era of high speed gear driven indexing.
