SECO TOOLS offers Jetstream Tooling® Integrated (JETI) toolholders that bring the benefits of high-pressure coolant to round, positive turning inserts for effective profiling and pocketing in difficult-to-cut materials. JETI toolholders eliminate hoses and spare parts associated with high-pressure coolant, and 3D-printed coolant clamps provide internal coolant channels for effective cutting zone cooling and chip control.
The precision delivery of high-pressure coolant by the toolholder’s internal coolant channels allows increased cutting speeds and feeds for shorter part cycle times.
“The JETI toolholders allow shops to step up their pocket-machining operations,” according to Seco product manager Frederik Samuelsson. “Combining the benefits of high-pressure coolant, strong, round turning inserts and favorable dynamic turning methods allows manufacturers to attain optimal cutting speeds and feed rates while achieving higher metal removal rates for increased productivity. The combination also optimizes chip control and evacuation to improve tool life, while increasing turning process reliability and reducing tooling costs per part.”
JETI toolholders use a single-screw design on the coolant clamp for fast insert indexing and changes. An easy-to-setup, plug-and-play solution, without hoses, integrates effortlessly to avoid long setup times and maximizes machine utilization. Jetstream Tooling® is available for 72 holders for maximum application coverage. Square shank sizes are available in metric 2020, 2525, and 3232 and imperial 12, 16, and 20, with Seco-Capto™ sizes C3, C4, C5, C6 & C8.
In addition to simplifying setup times for faster job changeovers, JETI toolholders with a Seco-Capto™ connection come with a pre-drilled hole to install a Balluff chip. With this feature, shops can incorporate the toolholders into an RFID system to manage data gathering and transfer without manual entry. Overall operator efficiency and productivity are increased, allowing them to focus more on value-added activities while minimizing the risk of human error.
