CHIP REMOVAL - CHIP CONVEYOR

On a traditional heavy-duty flat bed universal CNC lathes, swarf contamination remains a problem. On the TUR 1150 / 1350 / 1550 MN, this belongs to the past. Due to the revolutionary and unique design of the guarding, bed design, swarf removal is excellent.
The chip conveyor (standard) is positioned in the front of the machine, integrated in the machine bed. Practical experience has shown that the majority of the chips are collected in the front. On the back side of the cross slide, there is an additional telescopic cover guiding the chips to the chip conveyor.

The occasional chips falling to the back of the machine are collected in a chip pan. The swarf clearance is optimal and is comparable as this of a slant bed lathe. This results in reduced downtime of cleaning chips and increases the productivity. The chip conveyor can be easily pulled out from the front for eventual maintenance job without requiring additional space.
