The TANDEM KSP plus-BWM/KSP-LH plus-BWM clamping blocks
come with a semi-automatic quick-change jaw system for external
workpiece clamping. Changing jaws (see Chapter 7.4.2) can be
locked in place with a form-fitting diagonal pull without additional
mounting screws on the base jaw. The changing jaw is locked in
place by a spring-actuated failsafe mechanism. A conical lock bolt
ensures the jaw is always locked in place firmly and at the same lo-
cation thanks to its retentive function. Each base jaw has four ac-
cess points for unlocking the changing jaws (see Fig. Access Points
for Changing Jaw Interface). A hexagonal screwdriver is used to un-
lock the jaw when the clamping block is in the "OPEN" position.
The changing jaw is unlocked with a one-quarter counter-
clockwise turn at one of the three access points on the side, or
from the top through a through hole in the changing jaw itself. The
changing jaw can then be lifted inward and removed.
The kinematics are automatically moved back into locking position
by a spring mechanism. The lock bolt also moves back out.
NOTE:
Be sure to only apply moderate force when turning the hexagonal
screwdriver. Do not strengthen the spring-actuated jaw locks with
additional force from the screwdriver.
Inserting the changing jaws
A set of changing jaws consists of two individual jaws designed to fit
together. The jaws are marked with numbers "1" and "2". Always
insert the changing jaws on the TANDEM clamping block's change
interface with the same number in order to ensure maximum
repeat clamping accuracy.
NOTE:
Only trigger the actuating mechanism with an appropriate tool.
Only change the jaws with manual force. Do not use a hammer to
assist in changing the jaws.
The changing jaws can be changed in two ways:
First, hang the changing jaw on the hook attachment. This
connects the lateral centering bars to the base jaw.
1. Locking in place without tools:
Pull the changing jaw back and press it down to lock it into place
without tools. The spring-actuated snap-lock mechanism is auto-
matically triggered, locking the changing jaw to the TANDEM
clamping block.
