TCF series
Cleaning propeller
With the TurboChipFan, the machining centre can automatically remove residues of swarf and cooling lubricants from the workpiece, the clamping device and the machining table following the manufacturing process. This enables the operator – whether human or robot – to remove a clean workpiece from the machining area of the machine tool without first having to rinse it themselves using an air or water jet. When using robots, this removal of swarf is essential, as swarf has a negative impact on process stability. The risk of swarf becoming trapped during reloading is significantly reduced.
No moving parts
The TurboChipFan is manufactured from a single piece. This enables it to generate a constant airflow even at low speeds.
Lightweight and robust
The TCF is easy for the operator to handle yet highly effective. Flying chips leave no noticeable marks or damage on the propeller.
Central channel
With the channel in the centre of the propeller, the workpiece can initially be rinsed using internal spinel cooling, cooling lubricant and a low speed. The spindle can then be accelerated to its rated speed, and the propeller generates a powerful airflow which removes all chips and coolant residues from the machining table. If there are small pockets, the central channel can also be used to direct a precise jet of air.
