Chip management systems are integral components of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining setups. Their primary function is to effectively handle the chips generated during the machining process. These systems ensure that the workspace remains clear of debris, preventing interference with the machining operation and safeguarding the quality of the finished product. Other key factors include:
- Reduces the risk of accidents and minimizes downtime associated with manual chip removal.
- Components may include chip conveyors, chip augers, chip bins, and chip compactors.
- Optimizes CNC machining operations, enhancing productivity.
- Prolongs the lifespan of cutting tools by preventing chip buildup.
- Helps maintain a clean and safe machining environment.
