Setup Procedure
CKZ3T-X2734
<Ex. 2 When using a hard stop: When not equipped with a workpiece receptacle>
A) Supply air at clamping port without installation of upper hard stop, and operate the clamp arm to the end of clamp.
B) In the state of A), attach the upper hard stop and adjust the shim
q
so that the space between the upper hard stop and the hard
stop is about 0 mm.
During this step, theoretically, there is no clamping force applied to the hard stop.
C) In order to generate clamping force from the state described in step B, insert an additional shim.
The thickness of the shim changes by the distance to the hard stop and the operating pressure. Refer to the graphs on page 11,
and consider the distance to the hard stop as the arm length.
Please note that the graph should only be used as a guide, as there is a tolerance of about 10% in the clamp cylinder body.
D) In the state of C), adjust shim
w
so that the arm side block contacts the workpiece.
E) Exhaust the air in the clamped state, and confirm that the clamp arm does not open.
