An invertible part loading system includes a pallet adapted for holding articles for machining, a frame adapted for receiving the pallet, and latching mechanisms adapted for holding the pallet within the frame. A support structure is adapted to support the frame above a machining tool. An axle rotatably couples the frame with the support structure for allowing the pallet to be inverted, enabling the articles to face the machining tool from above, which allows chips of material to fall away from the articles. The axle rotates about a pivot axis aligned centrally through the frame. The pallet is adapted for rapid transfer on and off the part loading system via a compatible loading and storage assembly to reduce machining down time between swapping pallets. A two-sided pallet may be adapted to enable switching between parts, or between two sides of the same part, by inverting the pallet via the axle.

An apparatus for removing debris from under a machining location is formed of a static collection surface located below the machining location having a transition portion laterally offset from the machining location and a fluid discharge positioned above the transition portion. The fluid discharge includes a fluid source and a reservoir having an interior adapted to receive and contain a quantity of a fluid from the fluid source for a period of time. The fluid sicharge is adapted to periodically discharge the fluid therefrom so as to be guided by the transition portion across the collection surface to sweep the debris off the static collection surface towards a collection point.

Provided is a bar feeder that pushes a rod-shaped workpiece into a hollow main shaft having a holding mechanism at one end of the main shaft, from another end, the bar feeder being arranged in a work room arranged adjacent to a processing room where the main shaft is installed, the work room being provided with a work machine including a transport mechanism for moving an article to and from the processing room, and the bar feeder being arranged at a position at which at least a portion thereof overlaps with the work mechanism in a top view or a front view.

A machine tool has a splash guard and a guiding section. The splash guard has a first sidewall portion on which an end portion of a telescopic cover abuts, a slope portion slanting from the first sidewall portion along an expansion and contraction direction of the telescopic cover, a second sidewall portion perpendicularly extending downward from the slope portion, and a bottom portion horizontally extending from the second sidewall portion more inward than a lower end of the slope portion in the splash guard. The guiding section is disposed more inward than the lower end of the slope portion in the splash guard and configured to guide the cutting fluid falling from the slope portion, toward the bottom portion.

A machine tool including a machining device configured to perform machining on a workpiece in a machining chamber, a chip conveyor including a reservoir tank into which machining chips generated by workpiece machining in the machining device flow, together with a coolant, the chip conveyor being configured to discharge the machining chips to an outside of the machine tool, a coolant tank in which the chip conveyor is incorporated, the coolant tank being configured to accumulate the coolant flowing out of the reservoir tank, a sub-tank provided to surround an outer side of a discharge window for the coolant, the discharge window being formed on a side surface of the reservoir tank, and a machining chip removal section in which a magnetic separator made of a magnet is accommodated in the sub-tank and an opening portion configured to filter the coolant is provided around the magnetic separator.

The present invention relates to a machine tool which has the following: a machine bed 10 which is supported on machine feet 3, 3a and is formed from a supporting structure of ribs which are connected to one another, wherein two guide rails 1 are arranged on the top side, on opposite outer sides of the machine bed 10, and a machine table 2 is provided between the two guide rails 1, wherein first main ribs 11 are provided on either side of the machine bed 10, the profile of the said first main ribs, in cross section of the machine bed 10, beginning below the guide rails 1 and extending obliquely inwards in the machine bed 10 to external machine feet 3a in order to introduce loads, which act on the guide rails 1, into the machine feet 3, 3a.

A wall hanging device for marking the location of wall mounting fasteners is provided. The wall hanging device intrinsically locates connection points along a wall that correspond with connection points along an article to be hung on the wall. The systemic device provides two opposing surfaces, each surface providing corresponding guide markings. Each surface also has adhesive elements so that the device can first be adhered to the article and then transferred to the wall by way of urging the article against the wall, thereby ensuring that one or more preselected connection points along the article, first associated with one surface's guide marking(s), are intrinsically located on the wall by way of the other surface's corresponding guide markings after pulling away the article, leaving the temporarily adhered device to the wall. The device also provides a foldable pocket for capturing debris resulting from the installation of the mounting fasteners.

A machining swarf removing apparatus (7) includes a left and a right machining swarf removing units (25)(26). When removing machining swarf adhered to a recovery box (6), the left machining swarf removing unit (25) is placed in removal starting position. A brush (32) enters an insertion-ready state in which transverse direction thereof is oriented in a second direction D2. The brush (32) is moved to an insertion position for insertion into the recovery box (6), then the brush (32) is rotated to enter a machining swarf removal-ready state in which a longitudinal direction thereof is oriented in the second direction D2. The left machining swarf removing unit (25) is moved to remove the machining swarf adhered to the recovery box (6) by the brush (32), while a left rod vibrating device (43) is driven to vibrate a rod (33), vibrating the brush (32) attached to the rod (33).

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.

A coolant flow guide for grinder includes a base including a tilted bottom wall having a predetermined tilt angle, a peripheral wall disposed around the tilted bottom wall and defining with the tilted bottom wall a diversion channel having a top opening and a partition wall located on the tilted bottom wall to divide the diversion channel into two flow passages that slope downwardly to the diversion port, and a workpiece positioning unit mounted on the base above the flow passages for holding a workpiece. Thus, when the grinder is operated to grind the workpiece, the debris thus produced is carried by the applied coolant to flow through the flow passages to the outside of the base via the diversion port.
