Chip Conveyor

What is Chip Conveyor?

A chip conveyor is a powered belt or auger that continuously removes metal chips from the machine's work zone and deposits them into a bin, keeping the machine clear during long or unattended runs and separating chips from coolant for reuse.

It's essential for high-metal-removal and lights-out operation, where chips would otherwise bury the fixture.
