[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Features facilitating automation capability include: * An Ebbco filtration system which eliminates swarf above 1 micron while maintaining a constant temperature to prevent thermal part expansion.
The flute profile of CDX-Al stretches and breaks the swarf into small, manageable chips, whilst the slow spiral and optimised flute volume further enhances chip evacuation at high cutting conditions.
The system's enhanced filtering techniques enable it to detect nonspherical contaminants, screen/sieve wire, swarf and metal slivers, for example, which are traditionally difficult for other metal detectors to locate.
