Heating process
For shrink fitting: Place the tool in the correct
position. In suitable BILZ systems, the tool can
be pre-mounted to ensure correct alignment
and safe shrinking operation.
For unshrinking: The tool can be extracted from
the chuck during the unshrinking process by
apply light pulling pressure, always ware the
protective gloves during this process to avoid
injury from new or used cutting edges.

Gloves
Risk of injury!
Sharp edges or metal chips adhered to the tool can cause injury, therefore
protective gloves must be worn!
Always wear protective gloves due to the high shrinking temperatures. Only touch chucks when
wearing gloves and only on the machine connection and never in the heated zone!
The maximum holding time should never exceed 5 seconds even when wearing gloves!
Note!
As soon as the shrink / unshrinking process has been completed successfully, the
heating process must be stopped by releasing the Start / Stop button to ensure that no excess
energy is transferred to the chuck and the tool assembly. As a result, the cool-down time is much
shorter.
Lift the coil and place the shrink chuck into the tool holder.
Move the coil downwards over the chuck so that the lower edge of the ferrite disc of the coil
lies onto the chuck.
In the case of tools to be shrunk into ThermoGrip
chucks, you can insert the tools 5 mm
deep into the counter-bore of the chuck.
Start the shrinking process by pressing the Start / Stop button.
The operating display (green LED) first flashes slowly, then faster.
The shrinking time is determined by pressing the Start / Stop button.
The shrinking process is finished by releasing the Start / Stop button.
After the end of the shrinking process, lift the coil and remove the shrink holder. Allow the
tool and chuck to cool down.
During unshrinking process, remove the tool from the chuck by pulling upwards slightly.
Place the tool on a heat-resistant surface.
Always ensure that any persons in the vicinity are protected from accidentally touching the
hot chuck and/or hot tool.
