This invention relates to a
chip separation device for CNC
machine tools and the CNC
machine tool itself. The separation device includes a frame, a guide channel mounted on the frame, multiple magnetic suction components, a filter component, and a
recovery device. The guide channel is inclined to convey a mixture of chips and
coolant collected by the
machine tool to the filter component. Multiple magnetic suction components are spaced apart along the extension direction of the guide channel. Each magnetic suction component can move independently into the guide channel to magnetically attract the chips in the mixture and can be removed from the guide channel to release the magnetic attraction. The filter component filters out the
coolant from the mixture output from the guide channel and separately conveys the
coolant and the filtered chips to the
recovery device for recycling. This invention removes chips more thoroughly and efficiently. Furthermore, by initially separating the chips with magnetic suction components and then filtering them with the filter component, the
processing load on the filter component is reduced, the equipment size is reduced, and the equipment is more conducive to
miniaturization.
