Efficient Chip Breaking Boosts CNC Automation Productivity


Friday 13 February 2026, 8:46:27 AM


CMZ, a leading company in CNC machine solutions, has highlighted the critical importance of effective chip breaking in automated manufacturing processes. Precision and efficiency are paramount in turning, grooving, and threading operations, and uninterrupted machinery operation is a key component of achieving this.

When chips do not break during these processes, they can form tangles, disrupting the loading, unloading, and transfer of workpieces on automation solutions. Addressing this issue is vital for maintaining smooth, continuous operations and significantly increasing productivity.

Chip breaking allows for seamless operation without the need for manual intervention, thus facilitating full process automation. This enables machines to run continuously, which is particularly advantageous for companies experiencing staff shortages or seeking to minimise downtime during loading and unloading cycles.

CMZ offers tailored gantry loader solutions designed to meet these day-to-day operational needs. Their systems are crafted to integrate intuitive conversational programming, allowing manufacturers to reduce downtimes effectively and enhance efficiency across both short and long production runs.
