8.1 Assembly of a zero-point clamping system to the clamping plate
NOTICE
►
For individual assembly, follow the instructions in the installation and operating instructions of the zero-point
clamping system.
8.2 Assembly of the clamping plate
For the zero-point clamping system, clamping plates
bo
are offered.
These clamping plates are available for two, four or six zero-point
clamping systems.
The clamping plates are equipped with options for fastening to
machine tables with T-slots at various distances.
Within the clamping plate, the zero-point clamping systems are
connected with pneumatic channels. For all zero-point clamping
systems, the connection takes place at the central connections

8.3 Checking operational readiness
After the product has been properly installed, the following properties must be checked to verify operational readiness:
• Check pneumatic connections for leaks by looking and listening
•
All mounting screws are checked for their prescribed tightening torque
• Check the product for leaks while it is pressurized by looking and listening
8.4 Disassembly
Disassembly is carried out in the reverse order of that described in Section “Assembly of the clamping plate”.
9. Maintenance
Maintenance-free operation of the product is guaranteed for up to 750,000 million cycles.
The product must be checked by visual inspection at regular intervals for possible damage and contamination.
The maintenance interval may shorten under the following circumstances:
• Compressed air purity does not correspond to ISO 8573-1 [4:4:4]
• Dirty environment
• Improper use and use that does not comply with the performance data
NOTICE
Even though the product is maintenance-free as mentioned above, perform a regular visual inspection to check for
function, damage or contamination.
We recommend a visual inspection at least every 2 weeks or after 5,000 clamping cycles.
►
Shut down the product immediately if you notice any damage or malfunction.
Dismantling and reassembling the product without authorization may result in complications, as special installation equipment is
required in some cases.
Zimmer GmbH shall not be liable in the event of unauthorized dismantling and reassembling of the product or in the event of any
malfunction or damage resulting from this.
10. Troubleshooting
NOTICE
For error-free function of the product, it is necessary that the contact surface is always completely covered.
► This prevents dirt from penetrating the product and causing malfunctions.
Error/malfunction
Possible cause
Measure
Product does not open
• Operating pressure is too low
• Leakage/blockage/pinching of the power
supply lines
►
Increase operating pressure (4 to 6 bar)
►
Check power supply lines
• Excess force is acting upon the centering
pin.
►
Reduce the tensile load or compressive
load on the product.
• Clamping piston does not move.
►
Vent the PLUS connection
Long response time (too little
air is fed in)
• Valve is too small (product opens after a
delay)
►
Choose a larger valve accordingly
• Power supply lines from the valve to the
product are too long (product opens after
a delay)
►
Shorten the power supply lines (keep the
distance from the product to the valve as
short as possible).
►
Enlarge the cross-section of the power
supply lines.
Air leak or blow-off noise
• Connections are leaky.
►
Check the connections.
►
Open/close the product several times.
• Connecting cables are leaky.
►
Check power supply lines.
Dimensional deviations/chatter
marks
• Centering pin is not correctly retracted.
• Contamination of the product
►
Clean the product.
• Product worn
►
Completely replace the product.
11. Transportation/storage/preservation
►
The product must be transported and stored only in the original packaging.
►
If the product has already been installed on the superordinate machine unit, care must be taken during transport to ensure
that no unintentional movements can occur. Before commissioning and after transport, check all power connections and all
mechanical connections.
►
If the product is stored for an extended period, the following points are to be observed:
Ö
Keep the storage location as dust-free and dry as possible.
►
Clean all components. There must be no contamination left on the components.
►
Close pneumatic connections using suitable covers.
►
Observe the required temperature.
12. Decommissioning and disposal
INFORMATION
When the product reaches the end of its operational phase, it can be completely disassembled and disposed of.
Completely disconnect the product from the power supply. The product can be disassembled and properly disposed
of according to material groups.
When disposing of them, observe the locally applicable environmental regulations and codes and regulations for
disposal.
