In the mechanical processing industry, automation has become an inevitable trend to enhance efficiency. However, during the implementation of automation, several challenging issues often arise, particularly chip Entanglement and chip Blockage. When chips become entangled on cutting tools, they can impair workpiece quality, prevent robotic arms from accurately grasping parts, and even disrupt the entire machining process. For the modern mechanical processing industry, which prioritizes efficiency and precision, these issues represent critical pain points that demand urgent resolution.

On October 20-21, 2024, the 30th Annual Conference of the Turbine Industry Metal Cutting and Process Technology Liaison Network was held in Deyang. Approximately 180 representatives from turbine industry original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), parts suppliers, tooling and machine tool suppliers, and professional media outlets attended the conference.
