A chip removal device for a machine tool comprises a movable chip cart having a receptacle for a chip basket, a chip cart bay for the chip cart, and a connector piece between an opening of the chip basket and a chip removal opening of a working space of the machine tool for removing chips from the working space. The chip basket is removable from the chip cart. The chip cart bay is arranged in an enclosure of the machine tool. The connector piece is displaceable between a release position in which the chip cart is movable out of the chip cart bay and an operating position in which the connector piece and the chip cart are coupled for chip transfer from the working space into the chip cart. A manufacturing system for machining comprises a machine tool and a device for chip removal.

A machining device is provided. The machining device includes a trunnion table adapted to hold a workpiece and arranged to pivot around a pivot axis using a pivoting motor. The pivot axis is parallel to a horizontal plane. A spindle is adapted to hold a cutting tool directed upwards and arranged to be moved in a plane parallel to the horizontal plane by a spindle transporting device. A trunnion table transporting device is adapted to vertically transport the trunnion table towards and away from the cutting tool, such that in a cutting state, chips cut from the workpiece are removed from the workpiece by gravity.

A machine tool includes a machine body; a control panel; a peripheral device; a peripheral device frame that is adjacent to one side surface of the machine body and for which the top view of the area for installing the peripheral device is roughly rectangular, wherein the two corners of one end of the rectangle are supported, and the corner of the other end of the rectangle that is closer to the machine body is supported from below but the corner of the other end of the rectangle that is farther from the machine body is not supported from below; and a coolant filtration and supply device with a coolant tank disposed below the peripheral device frame so as to accept coolant discharged from the machine body, the coolant filtration and supply device being installed so as to be able to move toward and away from the machine body.

A waste collecting apparatus and workpiece processing systems, relating to the field of machining processes, are provided. An exemplary waste collecting apparatus may include a collecting body, a feeding pipe and a liquid discharging pipe in communication with the collecting body, and a separating mechanism provided within the collecting body, wherein the separating mechanism allows liquid waste to pass through while retaining solid waste. Further, via provision of a separate mechanism, the waste may be subjected to a solid-liquid separation, e.g., a liquid waste may be obtained from the liquid discharging pipe, and a solid waste may be obtained from the collecting body. According to aspects herein, a solid-liquid separation process is no longer required at subsequent/central processing of the waste. Moreover, since the collecting body retains only the solid waste, the time interval for centrally processing the waste increases, reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency.

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.

A filter unit, or more specifically, a filter box for a chip conveyor for conveying cutting chips that are produced in the operation of a machine tool, such as a lathe or the like. More specifically, the exemplary filter unit has at least one internally located brush that is used for removing different types of chips contained in a coolant fluid and/or cutting oil used in machine tools during metal working through mechanical brushing and jolting the surface of the filtration element(s) of the filter unit. A chip conveyor and a method of filtering cutting fluid in a filtering chip conveyor is also disclosed.

A wire electrode storage device for a wire electrical discharge machine is provided with a used wire electrode storage box configured to recover a used wire electrode and a dielectric fluid suction unit into which a fluid is poured to produce a negative pressure based on a Venturi effect so that a dielectric fluid accumulated in the storage box can be drawn in through an outlet of the storage box.

A machine tool includes a table, a first guide portion and a second guide portion that guide the table in the Z-axis direction and are arranged apart from each other in an X-axis direction, and a bed that includes a first guide mounting portion and a second guide mounting portion on which the first guide portion and the second guide portion are mounted respectively, and is provided with an opening portion which is located between the first guide mounting portion and the second guide mounting portion and penetrates in a Y-axis direction. The first guide mounting portion and the second guide mounting portion are respectively provided with a first facing surface and a second facing surface which face each other across the opening portion. The bed further includes a rib portion which is located in the opening portion and connected to the first facing surface and the second facing surface.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for assisting with the quick and accurate cutting of a piece of wall board or the like for installation. When installing wall board, it is important that it fits tightly to the ceiling or wall against which the wall board is being installed. The invention generally includes a frame on which a piece of dry wall can be placed and at least one cutting template that comprises a first cutting guide disposed within a first cutting slot that is carried by the frame. The first cutting slot and first cutting guide define a first cutting channel that is adapted to receive a cutting tool and to guide the cutting tool along the first cutting guide so that the dry wall can be cut to match the pattern of the cutting guide.

A grinding machine comprising a housing having a base for supporting the grinding machine, a shaft for holding a grindstone, a motor for rotating the shaft and a trough holder for holding a trough for grinding liquid, the through holder being arranged below the shaft, wherein the trough holder is movable in vertical direction between the base of the housing and the shaft for holding a grindstone and that the grinding machine comprises a lifting/lowering arrangement for moving the trough holder in said vertical direction.
