Change or supplement of jaws
Jaws for highest repeatability must be bored and ground in the
chuck under clamping pressure.
•
When boring and grinding it is important that the boring ring or
the boring bolts are clamped
by the top jaws
–
and not by the
base jaws. Keep base and top jaws screwed together for later
tasks.
•
Keep the base jaws and top jaws screwed in place for recurring
work. Tighten the jaw mounting screws to the specified torque
Tighten the jaw mounting screws with a torque wrench. On no
account tighten the screws with an extension pipe or with
hammer blows.
Functional testing
Functional test
After installation of the chuck, its function must be checked prior
to start-up.
Two important points are:
•
Clamping Force!
The clamping force of the chuck must be
achieved at max. operating force/pressure.
•
Stroke control!
The stroke of the clamping piston must allow a
safety zone at the front and rear end position. The machine
spindle may only be started when the clamping piston has
passed through the safety zone. Only limit switches that meet
the requirements for safety limit switches specified in DIN EN
60204-1 may be used.
When determining the necessary clamping force to machine a
workpiece, take the centrifugal force acting on the chuck jaws into
account (according to VDI 3106).
If the chuck jaws are changed, adjust the stroke control to the new
situation.
