Platinum Tooling Technologies Inc., the exclusive importer of Heimatec live tools and angle heads, is expanding its line of internal coolant tools for many popular machine tools models.

Coolant-thru technology is often the answer for faster, more productive cutting on many applications, especially when drilling deep holes where chips and excess heat build up. Heimatec now offers high-pressure coolant-thru designs up to 1,000psi on straight tools and 2,000 psi on 90° tools. High-pressure internal coolant is also available on universal tools, multiple spindle tools, and speed increasers with up to 1:4 gear ratios at 24,000rpm.

“Production drilling should almost always be done with internal coolant tools, and our expanded inventory of these tools means we’ll be able to satisfy more customer needs in that area,” says Platinum Tooling president Preben Hansen.

A full range of styles and pressures is available immediately, according to the company.

Platinum Tooling offers machine specific catalogs fully detailing all Heimatec products available, both with and without this coolant-thru feature.
