Abstract:

Metal cutting or machining is the process of eliminating undesired material from metal in order to produce accurate components. This essential procedure, vital for contemporary items, operates with a diverse range of materials such as metals, ceramics, and semiconductors, guaranteeing precise shape, smoothness, precision, and integrity of the surface. During highspeed machining, chips are produced at a rapid pace, which requires the use of cutting oil to provide lubrication and cooling. The objective of this project is to create a chip removal system that can effectively gather and separate chips and cutting fluid. This system is essential for modern machine tool systems that require a high level of precision. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the mechanics involved in removing material is crucial for achieving cost-effective machining. The chip removal mechanism is engineered to efficiently manage substantial chip and coolant oil quantities within a limited area, accomplished by modifications to the screw conveyor architecture. The drawing and 3D modeling processes make use of AutoCAD and Pro-E software to make use of the parametric capabilities. In addition, software programming utilizing Visual Basic .NET is employed to analyze factors in order to improve productivity and optimize production processes.
