Material: Nickel Silver
Hardness: 120 HB (45 HRB)
Testimonial: Tom Afflard (La Forge De Style)
„Customer could not have won this job without CoolSpeed® mini. The machine tool is only able to deliver 10,000 rpm on main spindle but with 300 psi of coolant pressure, CoolSpeed® mini runs at 48,000 rpm. Using a 1 mm ball end mill with 4 mm shank dia. and a feed rate of 1.200 mm/min, the cycle time for this job was cut down to 25 minutes. For all the parts, it saved about 350 hours for spindle time.“

Coolant Pressure: 35-60 bar
Size of work piece: Varies
Material: Grade 2 Titanium
Hardness: 21 HRC (98 HRB)
Testimonial: Jeff Tiedeken (company “Cutting Time”)
„Currently, we have 3+ machines running CoolSpeed® spindles around the clock! We produce prototype parts specifically for the science community in various materials, a lot of those parts have channels, pockets and holes down to 0.1 mm and sometimes smaller in special cases. It isn't feasible to do small features of that size without relying on spindle speeders. The price and performance allows us to have multiple CoolSpeed® spindles loaded in the tool magazine. We rough with a 1 mm, clean up with a 0.5 mm and finish with 0.3 mm end mills, which speeds up the proccess and reduces the risk of breaking end mills on longer runs. We have one major production job that has been consistent for the last 2 years cutting grade 2 titanium, the number of hours saved over standard 12k machine spindle would be months of time, I can't even imagine doing it any other way than using the CoolSpeed® spindle speeders.”

Machine: DMG Mori NLX2500
CoolSpeed® mini: CM-CE-R016-046-4-A
rpm: 35,000
Driven by: coolant
Coolant Pressure: 17 bar
Size of work piece: 0.155”
Material: 303-SS
Hardness: 19 HRC (96 HRB)
Testimonial: Marcus Burciaga (Area 419)
“CoolSpeed has allowed us to make small Torx head parts which would normally be ran on a Swiss Type machine, on our DMG NLX2500 turning center. We were able to cut over 4 Minutes of machine time off EACH part using CoolSpeed. It has literally paid for itself within a week. Being able to spin the micro tool at the required 35,000 rpm vs. the max of the machine at 10,000 rpm has been a huge benefit to our operations.”
