Floyd Automatic introduces swarf flushing 700-Jet toolholders for Applitec Top-Line

The Applitec Topline 730-Jet and 740-Jet toolholders – the designations for left and right hand versions – supply a coolant jet 7.5 mm from the insert cutting edge. The left and right hand 750-Jet and 760-Jet toolholders, which retain the coolant nozzle 10 mm from the cutting edge, are also available for larger, more robust inserts. All four toolholders are available with 12, 16 and 20 mm square shanks that are 100 mm long. Like all toolholders and inserts in the Top-Line series, the 700-Jet range incorporates Applitec's ridged positional system that has three teeth on the side of the insert that interlock with the identical pattern on the toolholder. This provides insert positional repeatability and enhances rigidity. The quick-change system achieves this while enabling the operator to make insert changes in the compact work envelope. Top-Line inserts that correspond with the 700-Jet series are offered in three universally tough micro-grain grades and three further wear resistant grades. The uncoated tough grade is suitable for interrupted cutting and unfavourable machining conditions with a TiN insert that is PVD coated for the processing of low resistance materials that cause built up edges. The universal tough insert is a TiAlN PVD coated grade that is the first choice insert grade for steel, stainless steel and titanium alloy machining as it demonstrates exceptional heat resistance. Applitec insert grades include the HN uncoated grade that Floyd recommends for machining low alloyed titanium materials. For the light processing of low resistance materials with built up edges, it can supply Applitec's HTiN grade that is PVD coated to generate a very low friction ratio. The Swiss manufacturer's most wear resistant grade is its HTA range that is ideal for the light machining of steel, stainless steel and titanium alloy materials.
