QS holding system now features high precision coolant

Small part machining of demanding, long chipping materials always creates issues with chip breaking. With the introduction of directed nozzles, accurate coolant delivery is ensured, significantly improving chip breaking and performance. Tool life is also extended. Because the system can be implemented using pressures as little as 10 bar (present on almost all modern sliding head machines), this new coolant function is easy to apply and helps provide problem-free machining and improved component quality when performing turning, parting and grooving operations. Similarly, a very simple modification procedure can be implemented for sliding head users who already own a standard QS holding system. High pressure coolant can provide huge benefits when machining difficult materials such titanium, cobalt chrome, surgical stainless steel and heat resistant super alloys (HRSAs). The system is suitable for Citizen, Star and Nexturn sliding head machines.
