6.1 Function and handling
The lathe chucks of type ROTA THW3 are actuated using rotating
closed-center or open-center hydraulic cylinders or via a static
hydraulic cylinder. The axial tensile and pressure forces are
converted to the radial jaw clamping force by the wedge angle in
the pistons and thrust jaw.
The clamping and opening path of the chuck jaws is determined by
the clamping cylinder. The base jaws with screwed-on top jaws are
moved or changed in the open clamping position. For safety
reasons, the serration for the base jaws is still engaged in this
chuck piston position. The base jaws are unlocked manually.
CAUTION
There is a risk of crushing during manual loading due to the jaw
stroke!
We recommend automatic loading.
If manual loading is used, set up the jaw position so that there is
no risk of injury when inserting the parts. The maximum opening
gap must be less than 4 mm when the workpiece is in contact
with one of the jaws.
For each jaw guidance, an eccentric bolt (item 4) with hexagon
socket, which can be turned using the jaw change key (item 20),
is arranged on the chuck perimeter. Turning the eccentric bolt
moves the serration of the chuck axially out of the serration for
the base jaw (item 22). In this position, the base jaws can be
moved or changed radially inwards or outwards. It is not possible
to pull out the jaw change key in this position; the chuck piston is
locked.
The jaw change key is locked so long as the chuck jaws have not
been moved into the functional area! The functional area means
that the base jaw is engaged by the serration of the chuck. The
maximum position of the base jaws is marked on the chuck body.
NOTICE
The chuck piston (item 3) must not be moved as long as the jaw
change key (item 22) is located in one of the jaw change bolts
(item 4) for the chuck.
Risk of damage to the chuck.
