Need Better Tool Life in Tough Materials? Heimatec's Internal Coolant Live Tools Might Be the Answer6/5/2025 If you’re in aerospace machining—or really any kind of high-performance metal cutting—you already know the battle: heat, chip control, tool wear, repeat. The hotter and harder the material, the more headaches you're dealing with. That’s exactly where Heimatec’s internal coolant live tools come into play.
Distributed in North America by Platinum Tooling, these tools are built with one job in mind—keeping things cool and consistent when you're cutting the tough stuff like titanium and Inconel. So what’s the big deal with internal coolant? Instead of relying on external coolant to hit the cutting zone (and hoping it gets there), Heimatec’s live tools send high-pressure coolant through the tool body and right to the cutting edge. That means better heat control, cleaner chips, and a serious boost in tool life. If you're chasing better finishes and tighter tolerances, this is a huge advantage—especially on longer cycle times or production runs. Coolant-thru technology is often the answer for faster more productive cutting on many applications especially when drilling deep holes where chips and excess heat build-up. Heimatec now offers high-pressure coolant-thru designs up to 1000psi on straight tools and 2000psi on 90-degree tools. High pressure internal coolant is also available on universal tools, multiple spindle tools, and speed increasers with up to 1:4 gear ratios at 24,000rpm. Built tough for real-world machining These live tools aren't just about coolant—they're built to handle the abuse of daily production. They use high-precision ABEC 7 bearings, hardened and ground gears, and are balanced to run smoothly at high RPMs with minimal backlash. In short, they’re engineered for shops that run tight programs, day in and day out. Save time with quick-change systems If tool changes are killing your setup time, Heimatec has a few tricks up its sleeve. Their u-tec® system and HT Quick Change options let you swap tools fast without re-dialing everything in. You stay productive without sacrificing precision. Works with the machines you're already running Whether you're running a DMG Mori, Okuma, Haas, Mazak—or something else entirely—Heimatec most likely has a live tool that drops right into your turret or BMT block. No special adapters. No headaches. Just solid compatibility. Custom tools? Yeah, they do that too Every job’s different. If you're doing deep hole drilling, unique milling paths, or have a funky part setup, Heimatec can build a tool specifically for your application. It’s not cookie-cutter—it’s whatever works best for how you machine. If you're tired of pushing tools to the limit and watching your inserts burn up halfway through a cycle, Heimatec's internal coolant tools could be a real game-changer. Better cooling, stronger construction, faster setups—it’s all about giving your shop more uptime and fewer surprises. Want to dig deeper into specs or see if they’ve got a fit for your machine?
