Guide Oil A large volume of coolant is pumped under high Workpiece Drill bush pressure pressure to the cutting area in the workpiece.Chips are then forced out through the drill tube atmaterialDrilltubeheadSealhead ChipBar restbox the back and do not touch the workpiece providing an outstanding surface finish. STS is a stable method to create holes with high accuracy by using a dedicated drilling machine and a sealing with the workpiece. Double Tube System (DTS) Double tube system The DTS is characterized by its two tube construction and is therefore known as the double tube system. A sealing system and pressure head,which is required in the Single Tube System (STS),is not necessary for the DTS and it is thereforeWorkpiecematerialDrillheadGuide bush Outer tube Inner tube Double tube connectorChipbox suitable for conventional general purpose machines such as lathes or machining centers. In general, because of less efficient chip evacuation than the STS, the recommended max drilling depth is 1000mm. The unique DTC-R tube connector that is capable of supplying high pressure coolant can, however, successfully achieve drilling depths of up No need for seal to 2000mm. 08 www.tungaloy.com
