O/T thru spindle coolant

[chowquoe^]

Ok guys and gals, thru spindle coolant.

 

High pressure vs. Standard

 

What are most of you using, pros cons ect.

 

The powers that be are asking for more data on this as we are looking to purchase some new equipment.

 

Thanks in advance.

I would NOT buy a machine without AT LEAST 1000 PSI. For ALL drilling apps it just makes WAY too much sense to not do it.

 

1050 SFM with HP

720 SFM without

 

.0015 IPT with HP

.001 IPT without

 

(These are aluminum numbers)

NO PECKING up to 12x Diameter.

Make sure you'll get a mist collector if you plan on getting hi-pressure. Hi-pressure creates so much mist that it faults out the lasers on our Mazaks.

Standard on our machines is 213psi and in most cases that is enough keeping in mind that most of the work we do is inconel, waspalloy, and sometimes I get lucky & get some titanium.

1000 psi and don't look back. The advantages are most evident when drilling, but it pays of in many other operatins, NOTHING clears chips like 1000 psi coolant.

Is that supposed to be 12,000?

[Lars Christensen]

sorry spade117

 

Twelve thousand

+1 on the mist collector. You should have one of those regardless.

1000 psi and gun drill 40x to 50x dia. holes with no problem. We have been doing .125 holes 6" deep in 4130 on our Integrex with no problem that has 1000 psi. This has allowed us to get parts out faster verse having to send them out for gun drilling.

 

HTH

I bought 2 machines without thru spindle coolant and now wish I had it.

 

What are my options to get coolant thru the tool without replacing the spindle?
