# Industrial Specification: Chip Conveyor

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical system that automatically removes metal chips and debris from CNC milling machines during machining operations.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-3.0 m/s conveyor speed, 0-60°C ambient temperature, 0-85% relative humidity**. Failure boundary: **Conveyor chain tensile stress exceeding 450 MPa, chip accumulation density &gt; 2.5 kg/dm³, motor torque &gt; 22 N·m continuous**, Mechanism: **Chip jamming-induced chain overloading exceeding yield strength of AISI 304 stainless steel (σ_y = 205 MPa), abrasive wear reducing chain link cross-section below 6 mm²**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Tractive Power & Resistance Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = \frac{F \cdot v}{\eta}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Ensures motor torque capacity exceeds operational inertia.

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in the chip conveyor construction?
**A**: Our chip conveyors are built with durable stainless steel and carbon steel components, combined with wear-resistant polymer parts for the scraper blades and contact surfaces to ensure longevity and efficient chip removal.

### Q: How does the chip conveyor system work with CNC milling machines?
**A**: The conveyor automatically collects metal chips and debris from the machining area using a drag chain mechanism that moves material through a trough to a discharge chute, keeping the workspace clean and improving operational efficiency.

### Q: What maintenance is required for the chip conveyor?
**A**: Regular inspection of the drag chain, scraper blades, and drive motor is recommended. The wear-resistant polymer components typically require less frequent replacement than metal parts, but periodic cleaning of the trough and discharge chute helps maintain optimal performance.

## 6. Manufacturing Compliance
