Coolant Through Spindle (CTS) Option
TRAK offers a Coolant Through Spindle Option. This provides the operator abundant coolant (or cutting
fluid) right at the cutting surface to allow for high production speeds, aggressive feeds, all while keeping
the coolant focused right where it is needed. Our CTS option can be used with collet-mounted tooling or
with drilled tooling, once a CTS compatible retention knob is installed in the tool holder. Coolant is
supplied from the coolant tank behind the TMC. A large, high-volume pump is part of the CTS option
which provides ample coolant volume at the work area directly through the spindle. Figure 7.0 shows A
TMC5 with the CTS option installed showing the shared coolant tray configuration with the other coolant
pumps. Note: Augers are an option on TMC5s and this unit was not so equipped.
