Abstract
The invention relates to a method for processing a plastic part by using a lathe system and comprises the following steps: rotating the plastic part mashing of a tools cutting edge with the plastic part, generating a gaseous and a liquid flow, whereby the chip, which is lifted of the plastic part, is first surrounded by the gas flow and subsequently by the liquid flow Moreover the invention relates to a lathe system to carry out the said method which comprises a rotatable workpiece receptacle, a tool fitted with a tool cutting edge, and a chip removal device. The chip removal device is fitted with a gas flow generator, having a gas nozzle which points towards the tool and with a liquid flow generator having a liquid channel configured below the tools cutting edge.
Claims12
A method for processing a plastic part (30) using a lathe system (1), comprising the following steps:
- a) rotating the plastic part (30);
- b) machining of the plastic part (30) with a tool cutting edge (4);
- further characterized by the following steps:
- d) providing a liquid flow (F), a surface of the liquid flow facing the tool cutting edge (4), and a gas flow (G), the tool cutting edge positioned between the gas flow (G) and liquid flow (F);
- e) whereby a chip (32), which is lifted off of the plastic part, is a flowing chip (33);
- f) blowing the chip (32) by means of the gas flow (G) into the liquid flow (F) such that the chip (32) is first surrounded by the gas flow (G) and subsequently by the liquid flow (F).
