Ideal for Swiss type machining, these tool holders deliver coolant through the shank for optimal insert lubrication and cooling, as well as longer cutting tool life.
Genevieve Swiss Industries, Inc. (GenSwiss, Westfield, MA) offers the “Coolant Thru” line of coolant through tool holders that feature delivery through the shank, providing optimal insert lubrication and cooling, longer cutting tool life and improved Swiss type machining. The holders feature interchangeable coolant orifice plates at the insert top level enable exact control over coolant volume, pressure and velocity as low, medium and high flow action for more efficient chip removal.
These holders are available with high pressure to 10,000 psi, stock sizes are ½ in and 5/8 in square shank; other sizes available on request. Insert pocket conforms to ISO style turning inserts, 80 deg, 55 deg, and 35 deg. The coolant inlet of the tool holders uses standard NPT fittings, eliminates use of solid coolant delivery lines, allowing for faster setup and more accurate coolant delivery position to the insert. In addition, there is no need for custom proprietary gang plate and no coolant manifold installation is required, or other modifications to the coolant feed systems.
“These ‘Coolant Thru’ holders improve chip control and removal, extend tool life and make running tough jobs easier. Stops to clear chips are eliminated, resulting in less insert changes and delivering proper cooling. We think it offers users another option for greater Swiss machining efficiency,” comments Scott Laprade, the marketing manager of GenSwiss.
