FlexForce coolant system

The FlexForce high pressure coolant system is available with variable flow rates from 2gpm to 8gpm. Standard and variable flow rate options are available in 500psi or 1,000psi to break through the heat-generated vapor barrier created at the cutting tool and workpiece interface causing surface deformities and damaging tooling.

FlexForce gets coolant directly to the cutting zone, improving lubrication and heat dissipation as well as cutting speeds and feeds, chip control, and part surface finishes. Standard units filter to 10µm with 5µm to 25µm filtration as an option.

Designed for fail-safe operation, a low-pressure suction pump draws coolant out of an existing coolant reservoir and through a bag filter into the FlexForce reservoir. From there a high-pressure pump sends pressurized coolant through the machine spindle directly to the cutting point, making faster machine feeds and speeds possible.

Coolant-thru tooling

Heimatec straight and angle head styles for machine tools are now available with coolant-thru feature for faster, cleaner cutting where chips and excess heat build-up are significant challenges. High-pressure coolant-thru designs up to 1,000psi are available on straight angle head tools while 2,000psi is available on angle head tools.

A full range of styles and pressures is available immediately and Heimatec literature fully details all products available with and without this coolant-thru feature.

Long turning toolholders

Walter Turn Swiss toolholders for turning applications are for applications on Swiss-style automatic lathes and multi-spindle machines with up to 2,175psi (150 bar) of coolant pressure. The holders are for turning high-precision parts, longitudinal (axial) turning, facing, and copy turning small-diameter components.

The holder provides targeted clearance face cooling for efficient chip control and increased tool life with high precision cooling on the flank face to slow down the insert heat and wear. The holders feature a flexible coolant connection in three positions for external plumbing or thru-coolant introduction through lathe turrets.

The holders accept CCGT3xx, DCGT3xx, and VCGT2xx indexable inserts and provide a high level of indexing accuracy. The short head dimension enables short clamping and high stability; shank dimensions are 12mm x 12mm and 16mm x 16mm.

The Walter Turn Swiss holder provides significantly higher stability due to mono-block solid design, leading to higher tool life with less vibration, as well as higher surface finish quality of the finished workpieces.

In addition to the conventional ISO turning toolholders, the W1011-S-P copy turning/profiling systems with positive engagement and the G4014-P grooving tools with side clamping are also part of the precision cooling -P style Walter Turn Swiss holder program offering.
