Abstract

The invention relates to a method for machining cast components on a program-controlled machine tool. The method has the step of pre-positioning (S2) the tool at a distance from a clamped cast component. A contact point can be determined by moving a rotating tool of the machine tool towards the cast component in a subsequent automatic approaching step (S3A) and by detecting at least one detection parameter in a simultaneous detecting step (S5) for detecting a contact point between the rotating tool and the cast component. A start of the machining process of the cast component can then be carried out according to a machining program which has been adapted using the ascertained contact point.

Abstract

A device for treating cooling lubricants and chips of machine tools. The device includes a container for receiving the untreated mixture of cooling lubricant liquid and solids, an endless conveyor installed in the container for carrying off the collected solids from the container, at least one filtration unit disposed in the container for separating the cooling lubricant liquid from the solids, whereby the filtration unit is formed so as to be mobile and can be positioned as an insertion in the container over the lower run of the endless conveyor.

IPC Classes  ?

  • B01D 33/04 - Filters with filtering elements which move during the filtering operation with filtering bands or the like supported on cylinders which are impervious for filtering
  • B01D 39/10 - Filter screens essentially made of metal
