chip flow

The chip flow is downward and therefore better to control than vertical saws.

Characteristics of the material being cut, chip flow depends on material type and feed rate.

A rigid drill body and good chip flow enable the drills to handle high metal removal rates.

In this machine the chip flow is also improved, as the chips are thrown directly onto the chip conveyor.

They require less space than horizontal or angular slide saws, but it is also more difficult to control the horizontal chip flow.

The increasing trend towards dry machining is accommodated by the machine base design of smooth, steep sides that ensure unobstructed chip flow.

Cutting fluid is sometimes used to ease this problem and to prolong the tool's life by cooling and lubricating the tip and chip flow.

There are two rake angles, namely the back rake angle and side rake angle, both of which help to guide chip flow.

Side Rake along with back rake controls the chip flow and partly counteracts the resistance of the work to the movement of the cutter and can be optimized to suit the particular material being cut.

• Develop and implement automated debarking quality control systems (e.g., based on artificial vision and image analysis) to check debarked logs for bark presence and damage, to check for wood fibre in bark residue, and to check for bark in chip flow.

Steil, a product manager for Progressive Gaming International, which developed the chips, expects all casinos to use RFID-enabled chips soon -- to detect counterfeiters, to keep track of chip flow at tables, to know instantly how much a player has bet, won or lost.
