ISCAR TECH TALK - ISCAR's X-STREAM HSK A-63

HSK A63 EM with coolant jet channels along the shank bore What is an HSK tool holder? HSK is a German abbreviation for hollow taper shank. A hollow taper means these tool holders do not have a retention knob. The hollow taper provides the appropriate level of flexibility to ensure contact with the machine tool spindle by both the taper and the flange face. This results in an extremely reliable interface that successfully sustains extremely high centrifugal and thermal loads. The HSK holders are intended for high-speed machining. These holders are becoming more popular due to their precision performance. The X-STREAM HSK A-63 provides a perfect solution for solid carbide endmills with Coolant Jet Channels along the shank bore. It can be installed on a machining center with through-coolant spindle options, and the X-STREAM endmill holder delivers jet coolant that wraps the tool to obtain the same result as through tool coolant. ISCAR's new HSK chucks offer several protruding lengths for 6 to 25mm tool diameters. Several unique features of the system are: • Coolant directed to cutting edges. • Prolonged tool life. • Eliminates chip sticking to the cutting edges. • Balanced to G2.5, 25000 RPM. • Suitable for High-Speed Milling. • Effective chip evacuation to prevent chip re-cutting. • No Pull out • Suitable for High-Speed Milling. Applications and Advantages of the new X-STREAM HSK A-63 • Intended for CNC milling machines with poor external coolant flow. • Highly positive results for cavities and pocket milling applications. • Great for milling applications that generate high temperatures, such as very hard alloy steels, high temperature alloys etc. The new X-STREAM HSK A-63 increases tool life, provides high productivity and profitability. I would like to remind you to download the ISCAR World app which features the revolutionary NEO-ITA for achieving optimal machining results. https://www.iscar.com/newarticles.aspx/countryid/1/newarticleid/2978 #ISCAR; #Tooling; #HSK; #X-Stream; #Coolant-Jet;
