•
Use a suitable high-pressure grease gun to ensure that you
reach all the greasing areas.
•
To ensure correct distribution of the grease, move the clamping
piston to its end positions several times, lubricate again, and
then check the clamping force.
•
We recommend checking the clamping force using a clamping
force tester before starting a new production run and between
maintenance intervals. *Optimum safety can only be
guaranteed through regular checks*.
•
The clamping force should always be measured in the state of
the lathe chuck as used for the current clamping situation. If
top jaws with clamping steps are used, measuring must be
performed in the same step as for the respective clamping task.
In the event of high operating speeds, clamping force losses
must be accounted for due to the centrifugal force acting on
the chuck jaws. In this case the value of the operating clamping
force should be measured dynamically.
•
Move the clamping piston through to its end position several
times after 500 clamping strokes, at the latest. (This moves the
lubricant back to the surfaces of the force transmission. so that
the clamping force is retained for longer).
Caution
Following a longer shutdown period (more than approx. 6 hours),
always re-tension the clamped lathe chuck in order to compensate
for the setting properties of the clamping situation or possible
pressure losses and the resulting loss of clamping force.
Safety notes for servicing
Follow all the applicable legal standards for health and safety
during servicing. Use suitable personal protective equipment,
especially protective gloves, goggles, and safety boots - paying
particular attention to the operating system and hazard
assessment.
