2.4. Air Requirements
The air pressure supplied to the collet holder is important in ensuring that the material or tool is released
properly, or for the optional gripper, that the material is held securely.
l
If compressed air is used, it must be filtered to 1 micron, dry to 0º F dew point, and oil free.
l
If nitrogen is used, it must be 99.99% pure and filtered to 1 micron.
The chuck becomes fully closed at approximately 4-7 bar (60-100 psig) depending on the collet size. Higher
pressures will not cause damage to the rotary union.
When the gripper options are ordered, the supply pressure will need to be regulated down (refer to
and
for more information). As with the collet chuck, the supply pressure can be regulated
to control the grip force during stage indexing.
2.5. Wet Cut Fluid Requirements
Water or cutting fluid used during wet cut operations must be conditioned to meet certain requirements
ensuring seal functionality and service life of the wet cut rotary union.
l
Water or cutting fluid must be filtered to 5 microns or better.
l
A fluid filter must be installed upstream of the rotary union between the pump outlet and the rotary union
inlet.
