We recommend that a lockable switch be fitted which prevents an inadvertent starting of the machine
spindle during repairs or in the event of a malfunction. The following table lists the symptoms, causes
and the measures to be taken into the event of any malfunctions of the power chuck. We cannot
guarantee for the exhaustiveness of this list due to wide range of influencing factors (level of
knowledge of the operating personnel, etc.).
Symptom
Causes
Measures
Severe vibration of the machine
Out-of-balance forces due to the mounting
flange or cylinder flange and possibly the chuck
or the actuating cylinder due to incorrect mounting
Check run-out on the reference surfaces of the
power chuck. Correct imbalance on power chuck
or actuating cylinder immediately. Rebalance
mounting flange or cylinder flange, if necessary.
Readjust spindle bearings.
Inadequate gripping force
Soiling Inadequate lubrication
Clean power chuck, check lubrication. If
lubrication is not sufficient, dismantle, clean and
lubricate the power chuck.
Full movement of the jaws is not attained
Master jaws incorrectly mounted or reversed.
Check and replace if necessary
Wrong length of draw tubes
Check setting dimension "E"
No gripping force
Master jaws strained
Inspect locating faces, possibly
use of jaws from a different
manufacturer
Top jaw cannot be adjusted
Serrations of master jaw soiled
Clean
Possibly difference in pitch with
self-manufactured top jaws
Run-out error with ground soft top jaws too
large
Master jaws reversed, possibly also top jaws
Check and replace if necessary
7.6 Measures during longer standstill
•
Move the piston of the actuatin g cylinder to the right!
•
Remove the work piece from the power chuck!
•
Clean and grease the power chuck!
•
Coat bright metal parts with a corrosion inhibitor. Observe the safety instructions of the
corrosion inhibitor manufacturer!
Do not clean the power chuck with compressed air because chips and coolant
may get in the eyes!
Risk of injury!
7.7 Measures after longer standstill
•
Clean corrosion inhibitor from the chuck parts.
•
Lubricate the power chuck. Remove any excess grease which emerges!
•
Operate the chuck without gripping a work piece to distribute the lubricating grease!
•
At standstill of the machine spindle, check the static gripping force Fspo with a static
grip-ping force meter,
•
e.g. SKM 1200 / 1500!
•
Grip a work piece.
