Due to high-tech coatings on carbide inserts, many of today's modern cutting tools no longer need coolant to lower the temperature of the cutting edge and lubricate the cut area to prolong tool life. The primary cause of tool wear and damage for these advanced cutting tools is re-cutting chips.
The Haas Through-Tool Air Blast option addresses this problem by providing high-pressure/high-flow air through the tool to the cutting zone to blow away chips, while also providing some cooling action for the inserts and the chips created by the cut. This is particularly beneficial when machining pockets and other internal features, where chips can collect.
The Through-Tool Air Blast can also be used to blow chips and coolant from workpieces at the end of a machining cycle. Operators need only program a cutting tool with holes for through-tool air to move over the workpiece - blowing chips and coolant from holes and pockets - before removing the workpiece from the machine. This saves the operator from having to blow off the workpiece manually, with his arm inside the machine and the door open.
The Haas Through-Tool Air Blast option requires the Haas Through-Spindle Coolant (TSC) option. The machinist can switch between the two systems to accommodate different materials and varying machining requirements.
Air requirements for the system depend on application. Nominal air consumption is 8 to 15 CFM for most machining requirements. As a general rule, air compressors deliver 4 to 5 CFM per horsepower at 100 PSI.
