CAUTION
Risk of damage due to incorrect choice of clamping position for
chuck jaws on workpiece.
If an incorrect clamping position is chosen for the chuck jaws on
workpiece, the base and top jaws may break.
•
Make sure that the workpiece is clamped concentrically.
•
If the chuck has a quick-change jaw system, the top jaws must
not protrude beyond the base jaws in the radial direction.
Exception:
The supporting jaw variant 3 protrudes beyond the
chuck base jaw due to its design. In this case, the T-nuts
always need to be completely inserted into the groove of the
chuck base jaw.
CAUTION
Hazard from vibration due to imbalanced rotating parts and
noise generation.
Physical and mental strains due to imbalanced workpieces and
noise during the machining process on the clamped and rotating
workpiece.
•
Ensure the chuck's axial and concentric runout.
•
Check options for remedying imbalances on special top jaws
and workpieces.
•
Reduce the RPM.
•
Wear hearing protection.
Notes on safe operation
•
Do not start the machine spindle until the workpiece is
clamped and the spanner wrench has been removed from the
chuck.
•
Only operate the lathe chuck when all protective equipment
has been fitted and is in full working order.
•
Check the lathe chuck at least once per shift for externally
visible damage and faults.
Functional test
After installation of the lathe chuck, its function must be checked
prior to start-up:
