Vertical Machining Center MVP-10: Optional Dual-Side Chip Conveyor Configuration
The Technology Behind Optional Left- or Right-Side Chip Discharge
Modern VMCs with dual-side chip conveyor flexibility are built around a symmetrical machine base design combined with advanced chip-flushing and auger systems.
1. Symmetrical Y-Axis Internal Chip-Shedding Design
The machine base incorporates steep, symmetrical telescopic covers and internal chip-deflection panels on both sides of the Y-axis. This geometry allows chips to naturally flow by gravity into dual internal augers running parallel along both sides of the machine base.
Whether performing high-volume aluminum machining or heavy-duty steel cutting, chips are efficiently directed toward the integrated chip evacuation system.
2. Universal Chip Conveyor Interface
At the front or rear junction of the internal augers, the machine is equipped with a universal mounting interface compatible with hinge-belt, scraper, or magnetic chip conveyors.
The key engineering innovation lies in its interchangeable drive and discharge modules. During initial installation—or even after future factory relocations—the primary chip conveyor can be mounted on either the left or right side of the machine base.
Internal chip-flushing systems and coolant filtration tanks are designed with mirrored connection points, allowing seamless switching between discharge directions without requiring custom piping modifications.
3. Integrated Coolant and Filtration Management
To support true dual-side flexibility, the high-capacity coolant tank features a modular design. Filtration units, oil skimmers, and related accessories are arranged to ensure unobstructed coolant return flow regardless of which discharge side is selected.
This design helps maintain excellent thermal stability and consistent machining performance.
