- Clean and lubricate clamping device
Orientation
To ensure reliability and accuracy of the machine, clamping devices must be
subjected to periodic maintenance.
The interval of this maintenance is strongly influenced by the type of material and
daily production time. Especially for short chipping materials (e.g., brass or cast
iron), these maintenance activities must be performed much more frequently.
Due to different requirements and/or specifications of the respective
manufacturers, be sure to review the respective manufacturer's
documentation!
Depending on the materials to be machined (e.g.: brass, cast iron)
and the number of shifts per day, more frequent cleaning of the
chuck is necessary.
For this, the clamping device must be removed and completely
cleaned. Here, also the labyrinth ring (spindle cover) and the space
behind the ring must be cleaned.
Requirement
Example: Three-jaw chuck from different manufacturers.
Do not use cotton waste for cleaning.
When cleaning with cotton waste, fibers or thread can get loose
causing safety problems.
