Notes on safe operation
Follow the care and maintenance instructions.
Assembling the TANDEM clamping block
During assembly and connection, the power supply for the
clamping block must be switched off. During connection,
adjustment, commissioning and testing, make sure that no
accidental operation of the TANDEM clamping block by the fitter
or other persons is possible.
Remove the power supplies for installation, modification,
maintenance, or adjustment work. Do maintenance work,
modifications, and add attachments outside of the danger zone.
Functional testing
•
After installing the TANDEM clamping block, its proper function
must be checked before putting it into operation. There must
be no leaks in the piping system here.
•
If the clamping block is involved in a collision, it must be tested
to see if it is still functioning properly before using it again. Only
use original SCHUNK spare parts when replacing damaged
items.
•
Check the clamping block at least once per shift for externally
visible damage and malfunctions.
•
If there are signs of wear or damage, the fixing screws for the
chuck jaws must be replaced. Only use screws with a quality of
12.9.
Maintenance instructions
The reliability of the clamping block can be guaranteed only if the
maintenance instructions are followed exactly.
Use of special chuck jaws
When using special chuck jaws, please observe the following rules:
•
The chuck jaws should be designed to be as low as possible.
The clamping point must be as near as possible to the housing.
(clamping points at a greater distance cause higher surface
pressures in the jaw guides and can significantly reduce the
clamping force.)
•
For higher clamping points, the operating pressure must be
reduced.
•
Do not use welded jaws.
