We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Coolant Supply",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Bar puller saves CNC lathe space from
PCM Tooling (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "A bar puller for CNC lathes works directly from a coolant supply, needs less than 2 bar of pressure and can pull bars ranging from 3-105mm with no adjustments".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Vertical turning lathes mill and grind too from
Dugard: "A range of elevating cross rail-type vertical turning lathes machine parts up to 2.8m diameter by 1.6m height, including milling, drilling and, optionally, grinding too".
In January 2008, we covered the news from WNT (UK)
concerning its Cutting tools at MACH 2008
- take a look at Solid carbide drills' heads are replaceable
which says: "Numerous new and innovative cutting tools to be displayed at MACH 2008 include solid carbide drilling with the versatility of a replaceable head system".
Take a look also at the news release from Ward CNC Machinery, Vertical machining centre adds 4-axis capability,
as well as Aluminium alloys milled at high removal rates from Mitsubishi Carbide,
and Small CNC lathe has Y-axis and sub-spindle from HK Technologies.
