  • Publication number: 20100012564
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for holding and separating chippings and cooling liquid accumulating on machine tools, comprising: a holding tank (1) for holding the chippings and cooling liquid; a guide section (2); a discharge section (3), a chain-like closed conveying element (4), which is guided over return elements of which at least one is coupled to a rotating drive, and; a rotationally mounted filter drum (9) that is drive-connected to the conveying element. A covering element (11), which is invertedly channeled and which is parallel to the axis of the filter drum, is mounted in a fixed manner in the lower area of the filter drum (9), and extends at least over a portion of the length of the filter drum (9).

  • Patent number: 7563369
    Abstract: A device for receiving and separating chips and cooling liquid collecting on machine tools. The device may include a transport element that is guided along a filter drum at a radial distance from the latter on guide rails, and cooperating driver elements acting only in the circumferential direction on the filter drum and arranged in each case at a distance from one another are provided on the transport element and on the filter drum.

  • Patent number: 7485226
    Abstract: A device for receiving and separating chips and coolant discharged from machine tools having a filter drum that has an internal bearing ring on each of its two ends, which each engage in an external bearing ring so that they rotate together. Spring elements, which run parallel to the axis of the filter drum, may be provided which are supported on one side on the internal bearing ring and on the other side on the external bearing ring. Sealing elements may be provided to prevent undesired flow of unfiltered coolant.

  • Patent number: 7014764
    Abstract: A device for receiving and separating chips and coolant collecting on machine tools, having a filter drum (12) that has an internal bearing ring (13) on each of its two ends, which each engage in an external bearing ring (16) so that they rotate together, spring elements (19), which run parallel to the axis of the filter drum (12), are provided which are supported on one side on the internal bearing ring (13) and on the other side on the external bearing ring (16), each of the external bearing rings (16) is seated in a bearing shell (23, 24), which is fixed to the housing, and is supported on it in the axial direction, and sealing elements (17) are provided between each of the internal bearing rings (13) and the external bearing rings (16).

  • Publication number: 20040245149
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for receiving and separating chips created by machine-tools and coolant, the coolant being redirected in order to be reused and the chips being carried away. The inventive device comprises: a receiving tank (1) for receiving the chips and the coolant; a rising guiding section (3) which is connected to the receiving tank (1); a raised output section (4) connected to the guiding section (3); a chain-type, closed transport element which is guided at least into the region receiving the chips and the coolant, and into the output section (4), by means of deviation elements (6, 7), at least one of said deviation elements being coupled to a rotating drive; and a rotatably mounted filter drum (12) which is connected to the transport element in a driven manner. The aim of the invention is to reduce the wear caused by the axial bearing load and to decrease the demands on the elements co-operating in the axial direction.
