The box is comprised of a fluid impermeable material to inhibit dust from escaping the box. A pair of sleeves is each coupled to the box and each of the sleeves is aligned with a respective one of the hand openings. In this way each of the sleeves can insertably receive a respective one of the user's arms thereby facilitating the user to work on the area of the gypsum wall panel that is covered by the box. A plurality of legs is each movably disposed on the box to retain the box at a desired height on the gypsum wall panel.

Various aspects of an apparatus are disclosed. In a particular aspect, an apparatus comprising a cylindrical filter, a filter cleaning knob, and a filter cleaning flap is disclosed. Within such embodiment, the filter cleaning knob is configured to rotate the cylindrical filter. The filter cleaning flap is coupled to the cylindrical filter and configured to sequentially make contact with a plurality of pleated segments of the cylindrical filter as the filter cleaning knob is rotated.

A machining system including a base; multiple work modules arranged in an arrangement direction on the base, at least one of the multiple work modules being a processing module, which processes a work with a tool, provided with a main shaft head including a main shaft on which a tool is attached and a main shaft rotating device that rotates the main shaft; a head raising and lowering device that moves the main shaft head in a vertical direction; a head moving device that moves the main shaft head in a horizontal plane by moving it in two perpendicular directions; and a work table that holds a work; the processing module being configured so as to be pulled from the base along a path extending in an intersecting direction, which is a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction.

The present invention relates to a machine tool (1000) for machining a workpiece (1), comprising: at least one first machine tool structure which can be moved freely on a base surface and has at least one machine tool component, and at least one second machine tool structure having at least one further machine tool component, wherein the at least one freely movable first machine tool structure, together with the at least one second machine tool structure, forms the machine tool (1000) configured for machining the workpiece (1), when the at least one freely movable first machine tool structure is positioned on the at least one second machine tool structure.

Disclosed is a chip processing device for a machine tool, including a cleaning nozzle control unit 30 that controls a cleaning nozzle for spraying a cleaning fluid onto chips scattered during machining so as to guide the chips to a chip collection portion, wherein the cleaning nozzle control unit 30 includes: a position estimation unit 31 that estimates an accumulation position of generated chips by analyzing machining conditions of a workpiece; and a nozzle orientation adjustment unit 34 that adjusts an orientation of the cleaning nozzle toward the accumulation position estimated by the position estimation unit 31.

A cutting fluid tank configured to recover cutting fluid from a machine tool includes a first parallel passage and a second parallel passage configured to recover the cutting fluid discharged from the machine tool and parallelly arranged to each other, and a communication passage configured to communicate the first parallel passage and the second parallel passage at ends of the first parallel passage and the second parallel passage, wherein the cutting fluid tank flows the cutting fluid through the first parallel passage and the second parallel passage in opposite directions to each other, and supplies the cutting fluid from the end of the second parallel passage to the machine tool, two inflow and outflow portions are adjacently arranged configured to flow the recovered cutting fluid to the first parallel passage, and each of inflow and outflow portions formed so as to flow the cutting fluid from different direction to each other, and flow the cutting fluid to the first parallel passage.

The present invention relates to a transport device (100) for receiving one or more module units having machine tool accessory devices and for transporting the one or more received module units to a machine tool (1000) set up on a base surface for use of the machine tool accessory devices of the one or more received module units on the machine tool (1000), wherein the transport device (100) is freely movable on the base surface for positioning the one or more received module units relative to the machine tool (1000), in particular within a region in front and/or next to the machine tool (1000) and/or in front and/or next to a working space of the machine tool (1000).

A filter unit is connected between a tray and a discharging duct of a spiral conveyor. The filter unit includes a first filter (perforated metal) that is fixed at a position close to the outer periphery of a conveying spiral, and a second filter (mesh filter) that rotates on the outside of the conveying spiral and the first filter. A washing nozzle sprays a washing liquid on the second filter. The chips captured by the first filter are scraped by the rotating conveying spiral and delivered back to the conveying path and the chips passing through the first filter but captured by the second filter are removed by the washing nozzle and delivered back to the conveying path. The washing liquid is sprayed at a predetermined angle from the washing nozzle and collides with vanes arranged on the outer periphery of the second filter and provides rotational force on the second filter.

A processing machine line including multiple processing modules arranged in a width direction and loaded on a base where a machine body is movable in a front-rear direction; an automatic workpiece transfer machine to perform transferring of a workpiece by moving a conveyance robot in front of the base; an external cover to cover the processing module; a front cover to form a conveyance space of the conveyance robot, the front cover being provided with, for each processing module, an upper section cover that is open-and-closable in a lifting up manner, and a lower section cover configuring a cover front surface with the upper section cover; and a chip receiving box to be removable and attachable by being attached between the lower section cover and the base via an installation bracket that is attachable and removable with respect to a top section of the lower section cover.
