Targeted Coolant Delivery System Directs Coolant to Cutting Edge

Walter has introduced Turn Precision Coolant, a powerful and targeted coolant delivery system that produces a direct coolant supply through the insert clamp and along the flank face of the insert. The company says the result is a 30 to 150 percent tool life increase (depending on material and coolant pressure) for stainless materials, high-temperature alloys, and steels.

The system directs coolant to the cutting edge, helping to create greater lubrication, cooler inserts, and improved chip control, beginning at pressures as low as 150 PSI.

The positive effects increase with pressure, particularly at pressures above 580 PSI, the company states.

This can result in cutting speed improvements of up to 100 percent while maintaining the same tool life. Targeted coolant delivery also improves surface finish with less peripheral zone work hardening.

The new system is aimed primarily at ISO material groups P, M, and S with a pressure range of 150 to 2,250 PSI.

The new coolant delivery system features three coolant connection points: coolant hose connections at the back of the tool, under the head, and a direct coolant transfer port for VDI connections. Higher pressures up to approximately 4,500 PSI are also possible.
