Use of customized jaws
When using customized jaws, please observe the following rules:
• The chuck jaws should be designed to be as low as possible.
The clamping point must be as close as possible to the housing.
(clamping points at a greater distance cause higher surface
pressures in the jaw guides and can significantly reduce the
clamping force.)
• The base jaws with tongue and groove have a frontal
attachment option for special chuck jaws.
• Fasten the mounting screws so as to achieve the greatest
possible effectiveness.
• At high speeds, the jaw boxes may only be used with robust
protective equipment.
• If the clamping device is involved in a collision, it must be
subjected to a crack test before using it again. Damaged parts
must be replaced with original SCHUNK spare parts.
• Renew the mounting bolts on the chuck jaws if there are signs
of wear or damage. Only use screws with a quality of 12.9.
2.4.1 Substantial modifications
Do not carry out any major changes to the jaw box.
If the operator carries out a substantial modification to the jaw
box, the product shall no longer conform to the EC Machinery
Directive 2006/42/EC!
