Tungaloy Toolholders Feature Streamlined Coolant Nozzle Design

Tungaloy’s TungTurn-Jet precision through-coolant turning toolholder series is capable of using high-pressure coolant of 1,015 psi to effectively control chips in long-chipping materials such as stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys.

The toolholders feature a coolant outlet built in the body. The company says this streamlined design is more effective than conventional through-coolant toolholders, which have an adjustable coolant nozzle or bulky nozzle assembly. With a reduced number of parts, the toolholders expand the TungTurn-Jet range with an economical option that can contribute to customers seeking further tool cost reductions.

Also, when used with the ISO-EcoTurn downsized insert, the toolholders are said to improve productivity and economy when machining steel and exotic materials. The series was developed for productive OD turning, grooving, thread turning and ID turning (the ID turning holders are only available in PSC machine-side connection) to enable high-speed machining with effective chip evacuation.

TungTurn-Jet toolholder systems for Swiss machine applications are also available. Also, the series is said to eliminate the hassle of coolant hose connections when used in a Swiss machine, which is equipped with the capability of supplying coolant directly into the toolholder from the gang slide. This plug-and-play coolant capability enables operators to simply mount the toolholders on the gang slide or toolpost and use the integrated coolant nozzle for effective chip control and maximum tool life.
