Chip Collection Holder
Even though it is dry machining, chips do not scatter!
- The holder collects the chips and discharges them at the designated position.
- Prevents chips from scattering to the spindle side and reduces attachment/detachment trouble.
- 60% of the chips generated during machining are recovered.
- Cleaning time inside the equipment is reduced by 30%.
“Amazing Ideas / Facts!”
The chip collection holder utilizes centrifugal force to prevent problems with attaching and detaching the main spindle by preventing the scattering of chips generated during machining by creating a chip pocket on the outer circumference of the cutter.
Furthermore, after processing, the rotation can be stopped to discharge the cutting chips at a specified position.
Contributes to reducing problems caused by chips and reducing time for cleaning the inside of the machine during dry machining, where cleaning inside the machine is difficult.
It is ideal for milling aluminum materials on a vertical machining center.
Reduces the amount of chips scattering throughout the equipment.Good !
Significantly reduces scattering of chips towards the top of the machine (spindle side).Good !
POINT!
The chip collection case collects chips during processing and discharges them to a designated location.Excellent !
Background / Point for Development
Background
- Due to environmental considerations, there is a growing need for dry and MQL machining that does not use cutting fluid.
- In the case of dry and MQL machining, it is not possible to flush away the chips with cutting fluid, so there are issues with cleaning the inside of the machine that takes time and chips adhering to the spindle.
Point for Development
- The “chip collection holder” is equipped with a chip collection cover and uses centrifugal force to control the discharge of chips.
- After the holder collects the chips, it can discharge them at a designated position, improving the in-machine environment caused by chip scattering that is a problem in dry and MQL processing, and contributing to improved productivity.
