Exhaust system, in particular, for housing-type enclosures of machine tools

Abstract

Air is removed by suction from the interior of an enclosure of machine tools by means of exhaust systems. The cuttings which are produced during machining of the workpieces are distributed within the working chamber and are thrown to the exhaust location and removed by suction. The cuttings collect in the exhaust area and present a safety risk. In order to prevent undesirable components in the exhaust air from reaching the exhaust system, an air-permeable catch device is provided in the exhaust area in front of the exhaust location. On the catch device, the undesirable components are caught while the exhaust action itself is not impaired. The exhaust system is used for enclosures of machine tools.
