Now, more than ever, screw machine users must find ways to eliminate secondary operations, and increase machine efficiency. That's why Air Pick-off attachments have been essential in successfully eliminating costly secondary finishing, back machining, recessing, drilling, chamfering and deburring operations. One drawback to the air pick-off attachment: completed parts eject from the pick-off collet during spindle rotation at speeds well over 1,500 rpm. This abrupt part cut-off often propels finished parts beyond the parts chute and into the tool zone and chips - creating nicks and marks on the part, and possibly jamming other machine components such as cross slides and attachments.
