a pipe is loaded into the chuck, three centering jaws move forward axially to center the pipe exactly at the area to be threaded. Three compensating jaws then grip the pipe in the centered position, and the centering jaws retract into the chuck body. This process can be fully automated for higher volume applications on compatible machine tools. SMW Autoblok Ph: 847-215-0591 Web site: www.smwautoblok.com

High-Penetration Rate Drill The RT100 HF is a high-penetration rate drill for machining nickel alloys. A new point geometry is designed to dissipate heat, a common problem when machining nickel alloys, Inconel and titanium. The RT100 HF features a double-margin flute design for additional stability in the cut and improved surface finish. The RT100 HF drill incorporates an ultra-hard surface coating called nano-Si, a silicon-based, PVD coating that is 57% harder than traditional TiAlN- based coatings with the same heat-resistant proper- ties. Drills are available in various lengths. Guhring
Cooling Jacket for Quick-Rotating Tools Cool Flash System wraps cooling lubricant around a rapidly rotating tool in a shrink chuck to protect it from air turbu- lences in high-speed machining . Bores have been introduced in the clamping chuck, where the coolant is transported to the face area of the tool holder. A disc is positioned at the

face side of the Cool Flash chuck. The coolant accumulates at this point on the Cool Flash, builds up a high pressure in this chamber and is distributed over the entire scope of the tool shaft. At the end of the shaft area, the coolant is pressed into the flutes, rinses them out and then reaches the cutting edges of the tool directly without atomizing. Haimer USA
