Components made on sliding head lathes, turning centres, milling machines and other machine tools invariably create swarf, dust and residues. This material must be removed from the workpiece and work area for high quality and safe manufacturing.
Materials such as graphite, asbestos, plastics and toxic or other problematic dusts must be treated with particular care. The Ringler suction extraction devices, available in the UK from M Buttkereit Ltd, can be used in a wide range of CNC machine shop and production engineering environments for difficult cleaning jobs.
The patented suction and blast nozzle is purpose designed for cleaning-up workpieces that incorporate blind hole drilling or machining. Within the nozzle suction tube, a centrally located air jet orifice discharges a blast of air at positive pressure. This dislodges any swarf, chips or coolant fluid build-up within blind holes and safely extracts the debris under suction to prevent contamination of the atmosphere or adjacent working environment.
The Ringler range includes over 50 model variations of both dry and wet-dry suction extraction units.
