While implementing pressure >1160 psi [80 bar], increase the pressure in steps to ensure proper functioning of insert clamping and leak-free joints. Internal Coolant Flood Coolant Internal Coolant Delivery Performance Internal coolant offers a clear advantage in tool life and chip forming/evacuation vs. external coolant in difficult conditions and in high-pressure coolant. Example: Chipbreaking in plunging of steel. Material steel ST52; 1,087 psi 2,900 psi Insert size 6mm; f = 0,25 mm/U (75 bar) (200 bar) Low Pressure — If performance is at risk due to low coolant pressure, apply internal coolant in combination with external coolant to increase volume. Recommendation to improve tool life and/or productivity: Apply high pressure coolant: 80–350 bar recommended. VDI Assemblies The WGC internal coolant delivery can be leveraged with VDI holding systems with both traditional or Quick-Change coolant connections. widia.com 163 widia.com
