after execution of the cleaning process, to bring the holding unit (18) and at least one further cleaning region (24) of the reprocessing unit (16) together for an execution of a further cleaning process.

An assembly for controlling waste material during a hybrid subtractive and additive manufacturing process is disclosed, including a machining tool held in a holder, a shroud disposed around the machining tool, and one or more ports configured to create a negative pressure within the shroud. A method of constraining waste material during a hybrid subtractive and additive manufacturing process of a part includes adding an amount of material to a part being additively manufactured, transforming the amount of material that was added, manipulating a tool to machine a portion of the part being additively manufactured and generating a waste material, sealing a portion of the tool and covering a portion of the part with a shroud, and applying a negative pressure to create an airflow to prevent the waste material from exiting the shroud.

An axial machining tool includes a cutter holder, a collet, a dust blower nut, and a cutter. The cutter holder has a receiving groove. The collet is extended into the receiving groove and has a containing space. The dust blower nut is sleeved on the collet and has a body, at least one blade, and a positioning element. The body has a threaded hole, a connecting groove, and at least one engaging groove. The threaded hole and the connecting groove are formed in the body and communicate with each other. The at least one engaging groove is formed on the body. The at least one blade is detachably mounted in the at least one engaging groove. The positioning element is mounted to the body and positions the at least one blade on the body. The cutter is extended into the containing space. A dust blower nut is also provided.

A machine tool chip removal device including a coupling interface to couple with a rotatable spindle of a machine tool to facilitate rotation of the machine tool chip removal device about an axis at a rotational speed. The chip removal device can also include a main fluid channel with an opening to receive pressurized fluid from the machine tool. The chip removal device can further include a first fluid delivery channel and a second fluid delivery channel to direct fluid in different directions. Each fluid delivery channel can be in fluid communication with the main fluid channel. In addition, the chip removal device can include one or more valves associated with the first and second fluid delivery channels to selectively allow fluid passage from the main fluid channel to the fluid delivery channels. The one or more valves can be actuated by varying fluid pressure and/or rotational speed.

A control method for a borehole flushing module (2) for a chiseling tool (5), includes the steps: Providing fine-grain particles in a dispenser (31); ascertaining a material (M) at a location processed by the tool (5) with the aid of a material detector (37); and introducing fine-grain particles at the location of the substrate processed by the tool (5) when the material detector (37) ascertains an iron-containing material (M2).

A machine tool system including a compact air compressor configuring a compact air compressor C includes: an auxiliary air tank 40; and an air compressor body 30 connected with the auxiliary air tank 40, wherein the air compressor body 30 and the auxiliary air tank 40 are individually installed in a machine tool 20.

A spindle device includes a cover member. The cover member has, formed therein, a gas flow path configured to flow a compressed gas for providing sealing between a chuck portion as a rotating member and the cover member and sealing between the chuck portion and the spindle housing. The gas flow path includes a first conduit configured to communicate the outside of the cover member and a second conduit configured to allow the first conduit to communicate with a gap between the chuck portion and the spindle housing, the second conduit being larger than the outlet of the first conduit. The outlet of the second conduit faces a surface of the spindle housing.

The present invention discloses a scrap removing device for cutting a wheel rim which comprises a main body having a working surface, a wheel rim positioning member, a first blowing member and a second blowing member sequentially disposed on the working surface from a top side thereof.

The present invention provides a machine tool system including a machine tool body and a control device. The machine tool body includes: a cover that covers a machining region; chip expelling mechanisms that are disposed at a plurality of different positions inside the cover, that expel chips generated during processing, and a discharging ability of which is changeable; and a chip information obtaining unit that obtains information related to scattering directions of the chips during the processing. In accordance with the information related to the scattering directions of the chips and obtained by the chip information obtaining unit, the control device controls the discharging ability of one of the chip expelling mechanisms corresponding to a direction in which a largest amount of the chips have scattered so as to be larger than the discharging ability of another of the chip expelling mechanisms.
