After retrofitting its ReCool through-coolant system for live tooling on CNC lathes, Rego-Fix has expanded the coolant system to provide internal cooling capabilities to static toolholders on Swiss-type automatic machines. According to the company, the static ReCool system quickly converts a standard Swiss-type tooling collet locking nut into a coolant-style nut using the IntRLox anti-slip nut design. Changing tooling involves simply loosening and removing the locking nut and supply piping. Rated at coolant pressures as high as 1,450 psi with a standard hose and 2,100 psi with a braided hose, the static ReCool design can replace standard ER mini-nut types 16 and 20. It works in conjunction with the company’s coolant disc systems DS/ER and KS/ER.

The company says that using and changing through-tool coolant in the tight confines of a Swiss-type machine has traditionally required working with coolant plumbing passing through the back of the machine tool block. Rego-Fix’s ReCool system eliminates the need to work behind the tool block, reducing setup and tool change time. By sending coolant flow directly to the cutting edge, through-coolant operation benefits tool life and speeds chip removal.
