Part Catcher

These units are typically mounted inside the machine tool. Parts that are caught generally slide down a chute that flips up under the part as it is being cut off. The part exits the lathe into a container fastened to the door. These types of parts catchers are used for smaller parts that do not damage themselves as they accumulate in the container. For larger parts that damage easily, a part exit conveyor may be added for safe handling.
