Abstract
In the machining of a stationary workpiece by means of a rotating tool head, the risk of damages to the workpiece by the chips can be minimized and the removal of the chips can be simplified if a chip collector and a stationary nozzle for fluid are respectively provided.
Claims17
A metal cutting machine featuring a tool head that rotates in a machining area, a stationary workpiece, an externally accessible machine hood that encloses the machining area and features a hood opening for introducing the workpiece into the machining area, a screen for preventing fluid from escaping through the hood opening, and a chip collector that is arranged in the machining area behind the hood opening,
- wherein the chip collector comprises a collecting surface that is conically tapered decreasing in diameter toward the tool head and/or that is directed radially outwards.
A metal cutting machine comprising
- a tool head that rotates in a machining area,
- a stationary workpiece,
- an externally accessible machine hood that encloses the machining area, the machine hood featuring a hood opening for introducing the workpiece into the machining area and featuring a front face disposed axially in front of the tool head,
- a screen for preventing fluid from escaping through the hood opening, the screen being attached to the front face of the machine hood, and
- a stationary nozzle for liquid or liquid-air-mixture, the stationary nozzle being directed at the workpiece and being arranged in the screen such that the stationary nozzle is axially in front of the tool head.
A metal cutting machine featuring a tool head that rotates in a machining area, a stationary workpiece, an externally accessible machine hood that encloses the machining area and features a hood opening for introducing the workpiece into the machining area, a screen for preventing fluid from escaping through the hood opening, and a chip collector that is arranged in the machining area behind the hood opening,
- wherein the chip collector comprises a stripper.
