Abstract

The invention relates to an air cooled spindle exhaust air redirection system for enhanced machining byproduct recovery. A drilling byproduct recovery system employs a vacuum shroud positioned adjacent a workpiece. A spindle extends from a base and engages a tool. The spindle vertically reciprocates the tool upwardly through an aperture in the vacuum shroud to engage the workpiece. A circumferential air jet is emitted proximate a base of the spindle and directed toward the vacuum shroud

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to the field of manufacturing machining systems, and more particularly to a chip recovery system for a machine employing redirected spindle cooling air to form a supplemental cone that converges at a point of concentration near the vacuum recovery port. Rising jet. Background technique [0002] Traditional aircraft wing assembly is done in a vertical orientation. However, the trend is moving towards horizontal build lines as manufacturing systems are driving higher rates and increased productivity. While horizontal construction offers many advantages, it adds a lot of top drilling. Drilling "up" results in more focus on drilling by-product recovery, as any chips, coolant or dust that is not recovered will fall to the borehole, end effector, operator and any machine components below. These contaminants can cause mechanical problems with the drilling system, cause environmental concerns, and / or re...
