Functional testing
• Test to make sure the TANDEM clamping block is functioning
properly before putting it into operation. Make sure there are
no leaks in the line system.
• Regularly check the motion kinematics of the jaw change inter-
face locking mechanism to make sure they can be easily moved
and return to their original position automatically.
• If the clamping system is involved in a collision, it must be test-
ed to see if it is still functioning properly before using it again.
Only use original SCHUNK spare parts when replacing damaged
items.
• Visually inspect the clamping block at least once per shift for
visible damage and defects.
• Replace the chuck jaw mounting screws if there are signs of
wear or damage. Only use screws with a quality of 12.9.
Maintenance instructions
Clamping block reliability can only be guaranteed if the mainte-
nance instructions are precisely followed.
Using special chuck jaws
Please observe the following rules when using special changing
jaws:
• 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 further away cause higher surface pressures in
the jaw guides and can significantly reduce clamping force).
• Reduce operating pressure for higher clamping points.
• Do not use welded jaws.
• Mount accessories such as clamping bars or reversible
gripping jaws to the changing jaws with the proper torque
