•
We recommend checking the clamping force using a clamping
force tester before starting a new production run and between
maintenance intervals. *Optimum safety can only be
guaranteed through regular checks*.
•
The clamping force should always be measured with the chuck
in the same condition as it is used in for the current clamping
application. If top jaws with clamping steps are used,
measuring must be performed in the same step as for the
respective clamping task. In the event of high operating speeds,
clamping force losses must be accounted for due to the
centrifugal force acting on the chuck jaws. In this case the value
of the operating clamping force should be measured
dynamically.
•
Move the lathe chuck through to its end position several times
after 500 clamping strokes, at the latest. (This moves the
lubricant back to the force transmission surfaces so that the
clamping force is retained for longer).
Safety notes for servicing
Follow all the applicable legal standards for health and safety
during servicing. Use suitable personal protective equipment,
especially protective gloves, goggles, and safety boots - paying
particular attention to the operating system and hazard
assessment.
Immediately report any changes including operational behavior to
the competent units/persons; if necessary, immediately shut down
and secure the machine on which the lathe chuck is mounted. Do
not start up the machine that the chuck is mounted on again until
the malfunction has been eliminated.
