Summary: This study aimed to develop and evaluate a chip management conveyor system for conventional lathe machines, addressing inefficiencies, safety hazards, and time-consuming manual chip removal. The system integrates a half-pitch screw-type conveyor, a collecting bin, and a compact gear motor-driven assembly designed to fit standard chip pans (1000 mm x 600 mm). The primary objectives were to automate chip disposal, reduce machine downtime, enhance workplace safety, and improve overall productivity. The prototype underwent comprehensive testing, including assessments of chip collection etliciency, load capacity, safety, and productivity. For chip collection efficiency, the system demonstrated progressive improvement across trials, achieving transter etficiency after adjustments, effectively handling varying chip loads (1 kg, 3 kg, and 5 kg). Load capacity tests confirmed the system's ability to efficiently transfer up to 15 kg of various chip types, including continuous, discontinuous, and serrated chips. Transfer times varied by chip type and load; for example, continuous chips were transferred in 4 to 12 minutes, and discontinuous chips in 3 to 10 minutes, with preloading chips generally leading to smoother operation. Safety assessments indicated the system minimized user risk through enclosed moving parts and protective covers. Furthermore, productivity tests revealed a 14.62% time savings when using the conveyor system, reducing the average machining time from 34.67 minutes (traditional method) to 29.6 minutes per operation. The prototype was evaluated with a result of 4.45 grand mean and a very satisfactory descriptive rating.
