Safety
Safety instructions and safety equipment serve to prevent accidents and dam-
age when working on the centric clamp. The safety instructions contain warn-
ings and basic safety instructions. In addition to the safety instructions in this
chapter, the following chapters contain action-related warnings. Maximum
protection of personnel and the environment from dangers and trouble-free
operation is only possible when all safety instructions and warnings in this op-
erating manual are observed.
2.1
Intended Use
The centric clamp KZS-P/KZS-PG is used to clamp regularly and irregularly
shaped workpieces.
▪ In the case of special workpiece geometries, corresponding top jaws must
be used.
▪ In the case of irregular workpieces, compensatory clamping jaws must be
used.
▪ In the case of vertically non-parallel workpieces, pendulum jaws
(inserted vertically) must be used.
▪ In the case of horizontally non-parallel workpieces, pendulum jaws
(inserted horizontally) must be used.
▪ In the case of unmachined parts with a tendency to lift, claw jaws must be
used.
The workpieces to be clamped must have a sufficient strength for the clamp-
ing force and minimum compressibility. Other materials may only be used with
the agreement of RÖHM GmbH. Clamping of imbalanced workpieces is per-
missible. Imbalanced workpieces must always be clamped in the centre of the
top jaws. The centric clamp is suitable for internal and external clamping of
workpieces. Clocking up to a maximum speed is permitted up to 60 rpm.
The centric clamp
▪ may be installed in all machining centres and processing machines for
cutting and non-cutting processes.
▪ may be installed both horizontally and vertically.
▪ may be operated in a stationary position.
▪ may only be operated when screwed on (e.g. on a machine table or ma-
chine pallet).
The centric clamp is a 2-jaw centric clamp. Only original RÖHM base jaws
and top jaws may be used. Third-party makes may impair the safety of the
centric clamp and lead to damage. The clamping point of the jaws must lie as
close as possible to the centric clamp.
