Through-tool air blast system for chip removal

For machine shops using modern carbide tools with advanced coatings to cut materials in a dry environment, there is significant potential to recut chips not evacuated from the cutting area (a primary contributor to early onset tool wear). To overcome the issue, Haas offers an optional through-tool air blast system (as an add-on to the TSC system) that removes chips from the machining zone before they can be cut a second time. This is particularly useful for deep cavity machining.

Serving a similar function is the Haas Auto Air Gun. This system is ideal when using small tools that are not suitable for through-tool air delivery. The Haas Auto Air Gun is also a great complement to the through-tool air blast system in demanding dry machining applications that require a higher volume of air delivery.

Last but not least, for applications where coolant cannot be deployed but the tool still needs to be kept lubricated, the new Haas minimum quantity lube option provides the solution. This innovative system works by atomising a precisely metered quantity of lubricant into the air stream and delivering it to the tool’s cutting edges. The quantity dispensed is typically very small, to the extent that it’s invisible.

Using a fraction of the coolant

Among the major advantages of the minimum quantity lube system is that it uses just a fraction of the coolant deployed in typical flood-based applications. Furthermore, the air and coolant flows are controlled separately, which means users can adjust the ratios to best suit their specific application.
