Precaution
When using the side guide to the clamp arm to prevent lateral motion, make sure not to apply a lateral load or galling to the clamp
arm.
Procedure
A) Supply air at clamp side without installation of upper hard stop, and operate the clamp arm to the end of clamp.
B) Under the above conditions, adjust shim
q
so that the space between the upper hard stop and the lower hard stop is about 0
mm. Theoretically there is no clamping force to the lower hard stop under this condition.
C) In order to generate clamping force from the state described in step B, insert additional shim. The thickness of the shim differs
depending on the arm length and pressure, so please refer to the graph on front matter 3 as a guide. About 10% error may occur
due to the difference in tolerance of the power clamp cylinder body.
D) Under the state described in step C, adjust shim
w
so there is contact between the clamping block and the workpiece.
