Chip removal devices are tools used in machining processes to eliminate chips or debris produced when cutting materials like metal or plastic. These devices help maintain a clean work environment and ensure the efficiency of the machining operation by preventing chip buildup, which can lead to tool damage or reduced precision. Common types of chip removal devices include chip conveyors, vacuum systems, and scrapers. Each device is designed to handle specific types of chips and materials, making them essential for industries such as manufacturing and metalworking, where precision and cleanliness are crucial for productivity.
