The new Turbo MH500 filtering chip conveyor from LNS America Inc. combines the space-saving footprint of a compact, hinge-belt conveyor with 500-micron coolant filtering efficiency. Moreover, the conveyor handles virtually all chip sizes, shapes and materials including fines, broken, coarse and stringy chips of mixed materials, dedicated and ferrous materials, cast iron, brass and aluminum. The Turbo MH500 is ideally suited for sliding-headstock machines, machining centers and multitasking machines. Using a conventional hinge belt to remove large and stringy chips, Turbo MH500 employs filter boxes located inside the conveyor path to remove debris to 500µm from the coolant. The filter boxes are self-cleaning, using a series of internal fixed brushes to scrape off any remaining materials, making them virtually maintenance-free. The conveyor works with the original coolant tank provided with most machines and has a tail height of 5.5". A unique frame design and extra-strength materials allow the Turbo MH 500 to withstand extreme loads, abrasion and torsional forces, according to the company.

- centers
centers
Cone-shaped pins that support a workpiece by one or two ends during machining. The centers fit into holes drilled in the workpiece ends. Centers that turn with the workpiece are called “live” centers; those that do not are called “dead” centers.
- coolant
coolant
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
- multifunction machines ( multitasking machines)
multifunction machines ( multitasking machines)
Machines and machining/turning centers capable of performing a variety of tasks, including milling, drilling, grinding boring, turning and cutoff, usually in just one setup.
