Swivel and adapter plate
8.1
Function
Slanted and curved items can be securely clamped with 4-point clamping using the swivel plate
system.
The swivel plate is pulled downwards during the clamping process due to its conical swivel plate
bearings; this means that the swivel plate is not likely to lift off.
With the 6-fold reversible jaw it is possible to cover numerous clamping solutions in a
straightforward way. A total of six different clamping sides are available, at the four sides of the
jaw as well as at two places with a convex “grip” pr
ofile.
It is also possible to carry out two-sided processing using the tungsten carbide coated side of the
6-fold reversible jaw.
Processing the first side
For raw part clamping using the 6-
fold reversible jaw, five different “grip” clamping sides are
available with a clamping depth of 3, 8 and 18 mm.
Processing the second side
Clamping with the tungsten carbide coated side of the 6-fold reversible jaw.
It is important to take into account that during the first clamping process, the 6-fold reversible
jaws can yield slightly until the play in the peg seating is eliminated.
The workpiece position must be measured; the zero point should not be determined until after 3
to 5 power clampings.
Handling the demounted swivel plate
The conical swivel peg can be pulled out since it is only held in position by an O-ring in the
counter direction. When handling the swivel plate, it should not be turned upside down since
this could cause the peg to fall out.
8.2
Position of workpiece centrally with respect to the vice
KSC 125 L-160: depending on the mounting position of the swivel plate or the mounting position
of the 6-fold reversible jaw, it is possible to position the workpiece centrally with respect to the
tool body symmetry.
KSC 125 L-235 / L-300: with this model it is not possible to clamp the workpiece centrally with
respect to the tool body symmetry.
8.3
Limitation of mounting position
For reasons of stability, the bearing peg of the swivel plate must not be attached to the
extreme outside carriage slot.
8.4
Servicing, cleaning, maintenance
The upper shoulder of the swivel peg must be oiled regularly. The swivel bearing is protected by
O-rings. In order to ensure that the areas under stress remain well lubricated, the swivel plate
should be turned around its entire axis once a week so that the lubrication film can be renewed.
Lubrication of the entire peg is recommended once a year.
