Mazak offers LNS Turbo MH swarf system for VCS machines

Yamazaki Mazak has teamed up with machine tool peripherals manufacturer LNS Europe to offer the Turbo MH swarf management system for its VCS range of vertical machining centres.

The LNS Turbo MH series has a built-in scraper bar attached to the hinge belt that runs continuously along the bottom surface of the conveyor frame throughout the machining cycle to gather chips. Swarf is then lifted to the top of the conveyor as the belt rotates.

The Turbo MH system also feeds coolant into the machine through a filter box mounted between the conveyor belt flights; this is fitted with either 250 or 500 micron filters. The additional brush fitted to the underside of the conveyor belt will wipe the box as the belt rotates and any further swarf chips will fall to the bottom of the conveyor frame to be collected by the scraper bars and then discharged.
