New Machine Tool on Collecting Cutting Chips of CFRP for Working Environment Improvement

Abstract:

In machining to CFRP material has many important problems, about necessary of high-precision machining, improvement of tool life and dispose of cutting chips etc. Especially in case of twist drill almost cant collect under 0.5 μm cutting chip, the fine-cutting chips diffuse into the sliding table and spindle head with the machine. Moreover, the fine-cutting chip is mixed and diffuse into the atmosphere. The possibility to remarkable decline of working efficiency so the dust-collection provision technology is wished. It is important also from the viewpoint of keep safety of a worker and work environment preservation because the CFRP utilizes in market for industrial structure materials, is increasing. As one method of solving this problem which aspirates and ejects cutting chip from a penetration hole through outside in the central part of the drill shank the new tool and cyclone type dust-collection system were developed. These technologies were used for perforate of CFRP material, and investigated about the cutting characteristic of the hollow type drill, and the effect of work environment improvement to dust-collection performance of cutting chips. As the result, our development machine tool and cutting tool can collect approximate 99.5% cutting chip.
