260 mm Cleaning Propeller for CNC Machines, 16 mm Shank, 2,000–7,000 rpm - MetavCUT

Cleaning Propeller 260 mm for CNC Machines – efficient chip & coolant cleaning

Cleaning Propeller 260 mm for CNC Machines is a spindle-mounted tool that clears Chips and Coolant Residues automatically during NC programmes, cutting manual cleaning time and lowering compressed-air demand.

• Direct spindle fit for fast tool change
• Effective cleaning at 2,000–7,000 rpm
• 16 mm shank for collet-chuck compatibility
• Fibreglass-reinforced Blades, secure mounting
• Compact folded diameter reduces collision risk

Faster cycles and lower running costs

Reducing machine downtime is crucial in every Workshop. The propeller delivers a powerful air stream from about 3,000 rpm, removing Chips and Coolant Residues directly in the Programme flow so Manual Cleaning Breaks are minimised. As a result, Pressure-Air consumption drops and Operative Costs fall, providing a measurable efficiency gain for Production Lines and Job Shops.

Automatic deployment for safe, tool-magazine friendly handling

Springs keep the Blades compact while the tool is stationary, permitting safe storage in Tool Magazines and compatibility with horizontal and vertical Spindle arrangements. As the Spindle accelerates, centrifugal deployment unfolds the Blades to c. 260 mm; this automatic action ensures reliable cleaning without additional handling, integrating smoothly into existing NC cycles and tool-change routines.

Robust construction with compact footprint

Constructed with an Anodised Aluminium shank and Fibreglass-Reinforced Blades, the propeller balances low mass and durable performance. The 16 mm shank suits standard Spannzangenfutter, and the folded Blade Diameter of c. 60 mm minimises collision risk in confined Working Spaces. For safety, operation is intended only within closed Machine Enclosures; the secure Blade mounting and the compact Overall Length keep intrusions into the Machine Workspace to a minimum.

FAQ

How is the Cleaning Propeller mounted?
The Cleaning Propeller 260 mm (MetavCUT, SKU Prop260mm) is inserted directly into the Spindle like a standard tool; its 16 mm Shank fits common collet-chuck systems for quick changeover.

At what speed does the propeller clean effectively?
Effective operation begins from around 3,000 rpm and continues up to 7,000 rpm; the Cleaning Propeller 260 mm (MetavCUT) generates a consistent air flow in that range to clear Chips and Coolant Residues.

Can the propeller remain in the tool magazine?
Yes. Springs hold the Blades compact when stationary, making the MetavCUT Cleaning Propeller suitable for storage in Tool Magazines and safe for horizontal and vertical tool arrangements.

Which materials can be cleaned with this tool installed?
The device is designed to remove Chips and Coolant Residues irrespective of the Workpiece material; for Workflows producing fine Chips or emulsion residues, the Cleaning Propeller 260 mm (MetavCUT, Prop260mm) is especially beneficial.
