Linea Spindle’s excellent chip and swarf management
VERTICAL SPINDLES HELP CHIP EVACUATION
01/04/2022
The problem of long chips is a challenge, and difficult to solve completely. What can be done is to manage chips in a slightly different way, for example, using special ergonomic arrangements of vertical spindles to help with chip extraction.
Chips produced by upper spindles fall naturally, while those produced in the lower part may cause more problems. However, you can use the blowers of your choice inside the spindle, inside the tool, as well as outside.
Regarding brass, aluminium and cold forged steel, in traditional transfers, for example, a long continuous chip tends to form and ends up winding around the spindle, compromising the machining. With Linea Spindle, this problem simply does not exist.
