Coolant Through Tool Clamp

GenSwiss' Multidec-Lube tool clamp system is intended to permit optimum coolant jet positioning and drastically reduce set-up time when employing high-pressure coolant delivery.

"The patented design incorporates a coolant/oil delivery passage in the tool clamp, ensuring a repeatable jet flow even after multiple tool changes or set-ups or teardown, and replaces the original equipment gang slide tool clamps provided with the Swiss machine," said a company spokesperson. "This feature also allows use of conventional square shank tool holders as if they were coolant-through since the coolant travels through the clamp and can remain semi-permanently plumbed into the high-pressure system. The clamp is designed to work with square tool holder shanks and allows for an easy fit into the machine, plus gaining greater rigidity when compared to other quick-change coolant-through tooling available to the industry.

"In addition, a fixed and adjustable stop makes it possible to position the tools in exactly the same location following insert changes, ensuring high repeatability. Typical problems solved include elimination of chips collecting on coolant jet nozzles, eliminating stringy chip wrap-arounds or clogging, avoiding accidental bending or repositioning of coolant tubes/nozzles with subsequent tool changes over machining cycles, resulting in time savings while achieving measurable machining efficiencies."
