CUTTING MACHINE WITH A WASTE EXTRACTION APPARATUS

A cutting machine waste extraction apparatus is for a cutting machine for cutting in horizontal planes which produces waste such as and chips and coolant at a cutting area on a cutting table. The cutting machine waste extraction apparatus includes ducting system and junction apparatus such that waste from cutting can be removed from the cutting area through a movable ducting system. The movable ducting system is constructed to receive and direct waste from the cutting area， up a vertical plane to a horizontal plane. A portion of the ducting system is fluidly connected by the junction apparatus to another portion of the ducting system， whereby in the horizontal plane at least a portion of the ducting is able to move with respect to other ducting. The junction apparatus includes a movable junction ducting for directing waste flow from one direction to be directed to another direction in a ducting. The ducting is shaped to have at least one movable flexible belt located to cover and seal the ducting. The junction apparatus includes said belt being movably supported by rollers to be slidably raised above a portion of the ducting to allow the junction apparatus to be movable along the ducting to allow waste therein while being continuously fluidly sealed.
