Abstract
A chip conveyor which discharges chips produced by a machine tool from the inside of a splash guard is provided inside the splash guard that prevents the chips from being scattered. A chip carrying unit of the chip conveyor is attached to the splash guard so as to be movable with respect to the splash guard in the up and down direction. Accordingly, even when the chips are stuck between the chip carrying unit and the splash guard, the chip carrying unit automatically moves, and hence the chip stuck state may be resolved.
