Machine tool chip conveyors, also known as chip conveyors or chip removal systems, are devices used to collect, convey and remove chips, coolants and other processing waste during automated machining processes. Their main functions include:
Improve work efficiency: By automatically removing chips, chip conveyors can reduce machine downtime caused by manual chip cleaning, thereby improving production efficiency.
Protect machine tools and tools: If chips and coolants are not cleaned in time, they may damage the guide rails, lead screws and other components of the machine tool. Chip conveyors can prevent premature wear of these components.
Maintain processing quality: If chips are not removed in time, they may re-enter the cutting area and affect processing accuracy and surface quality. Chip conveyors ensure that chips do not cause secondary damage to the workpiece.
Improve the working environment: Timely chip cleaning helps keep the working area clean, improve the working environment, and reduce safety risks in the workplace.
Extend the life of machine tools: Reduce the corrosion and wear of chips and coolants on machine tools, which helps to extend the service life of machine tools.
Facilitate waste recycling: The chip conveyor can collect the chips in a centralized manner, which is convenient for subsequent waste treatment and recycling, and meets environmental protection requirements.
Adapt to different processing needs: There are many types of chip conveyors, such as chain plate type, scraper type, magnetic type, spiral type, etc., and the appropriate chip removal method can be selected according to the processing characteristics and chip types of different machine tools.
Reduce the labor intensity of operators: The automated chip removal system reduces the workload of operators in cleaning chips and reduces labor intensity.
Improve safety: Automated chip removal reduces the possibility of operators contacting dangerous areas, such as rotating tools or moving mechanical parts, thereby improving work safety.
