A machine tool for machining a workpiece clamped in the working space of the machine tool by means of a tool. The machine tool includes a machine bed, which has a chip collection region having at least one conveying channel open on the working space side for collecting chips that drop during the machining of the workpiece, and a conveying device for leading away chips that have dropped into the chip collection region in the at least one conveying channel. The conveying device has a stationary supporting shaft, which extends in the at least one conveying channel in the longitudinal direction of the conveying channel, wherein a spiral element is rotatably supported on the stationary supporting shaft, and wherein the conveying device also comprises a drive for driving the rotational motion of the spiral element about the stationary supporting shaft.

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.

A system to contain abraded material that is produced by a power-tool during operation on a work piece is presented. The Drill Debris Containment system in an embodiment comprised of compressible, flexible foam and/or durable rubber materials. The Drill Debris Containment system comprised of a large upper opening, smaller lower opening and bottom surface area surrounded by a wall like surface area.

A screw conveyor that appropriately discharges chips inside cutting fluid includes: a main body in the form of a container provided with a storage tank; a screw rotatably assembled inside the storage tank; a discharge pipe formed at a rear side of the main body and connected to the storage tank; an inlet section configured to receive the chips and the cutting fluid into the storage tank at a front side; a guide plate configured to guide the chips and the cutting fluid to the screw; a screw cover provided with multiple fine holes configured to cover a space above the screw; and an opening formed in the storage tank at a position higher than the screw cover such that the cutting fluid enters inside the main body.

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 system for collecting shaving remnants and excess lubrication fluids emanating from a mechanical cutting machine, comprising a catch basin, drain filter, quick connection couplings, fluid reservoir, and pump system for reticulating captured lubricating fluid. The catch basin securely fastens to a cutting machine, while the removable backsplash is deployed at an upstanding angle relative to the catch basin in order to capture superfluous materials liberated from a pipe threading, reaming or cutting tool work piece. The backsplash doubles as a sealable lid capable of retaining the contents of the catch basin eliminating unwanted spillage and allowing for safe transport. The fluid is filtered and collected within the fluid reservoir, whereafter a pump draws the oil through a second filter element to reuse the lubricating fluid in the tool operation to create a closed loop system. Quick connect fittings compartmentalize the system to prevent leaks during maintenance or service.

A machine tool includes a bed having an arrangement space; a tank capable of being disposed in the arrangement space; a coolant leakage prevention plate pivotable about a shaft extending in a horizontal direction; and a rotary piece pivotable about the shaft together with the coolant leakage prevention plate. The coolant leakage prevention plate is configured to be held at either a closing position or an open position. At the closing position, the coolant leakage prevention plate hangs down from the shaft to cover at least a part of the tank. When the tank is pulled out from the arrangement space, the coolant leakage prevention plate is pushed up by the tank, whereby the coolant leakage prevention plate is caused to be at the open position. When the coolant leakage prevention plate is positioned at the opening position, the rotary piece is held to hang down from the shaft.

A motor drive system enabling detection of cutting fluid deposited at a housing of electronic components. A housing holding electronic components of a motor drive system has top faces slanted with respect to the horizontal plane so as to guide the deposited cutting fluid. The housing further includes storage parts collecting the cutting fluid guided along the top faces. The storage parts may be graduated so as to enable the collected amount of the cutting fluid to be measured. The storage parts may be configured to be detachable from the housing.

Provided is an easy and clean processing machine. The processing machine includes a processing chamber having a discharge port; a tank having an inflow port with a gap from the discharge port; a drawer to be stowed in the processing chamber and pulled out rearward from the processing chamber, the drawer including a front plate, a pair of side plates, and a bottom plate including a filter disposed in a front portion, a guide including a stopper; and a slider including a latch portion to collide with the stopper to stop the drawer at an intermediate position. The discharge port is located above the bottom plate, and the filter is located above the inflow port when the drawer is located at the intermediate position.
