Toolholders
Lathe Toolholders For Efficient Coolant Use
Streamliner lathe toolholders feature coolant delivery through the shank and are said to be suited for low- or high-pressure delivery. To conserve coolant, the toolholders are equipped with interchangeable coolant-distribution plates for various volumes of air, mist or liquid. The coolant delivery is parallel to the top of the insert, which enables the coolant to have a positive effect at the shear zone.

El Tool’s coolant-driven angle heads develop as much as 100 inch-pounds of torque. The heads incorporate a planetary gear with a 5:1 ratio, said to be ideal for applications where high torque at lower speeds is required. The angle heads are powered by an integral positive displacement ball piston motor driven by the machining center’s high-pressure coolant system.

Sandvik Coromant offers a new range of Coromant Capto machine-adapted clamping units (MACU) for lathe machines. Said to be ideal for both turning and milling applications, the products provide the flexibility to change from one system to another quickly. They also channel high-pressure coolant from CoroTurn HP cutting heads, thus reducing temperatures and improving chip control.
