Abstract:
A swarf handling apparatus installed in a machining tool that performs machining operation accompanied with production of stringy swarf includes a swarf catching device. The swarf catching device includes a holder unit that holds the stringy swarf when the stringy swarf makes contact with the holder unit. The swarf catching device causes the holder unit to be floated in a region around a machining point in such a manner that the position of the holder unit is varied relative to the machining point, for catching the stringy swarf in the holder unit.

Claim (Index 9):
The swarf handling apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n the holder unit comprises a body region and a protruding region configured to be protrudable from and retractable into the body region, wherein the protruding region is protruded from the body region to hold the stringy swarf that is engaged with the protruding region, and the protruding region is retracted inside the body region to detach the stringy swarf from the holder unit.
