If the power supply is switched on or residual energy remains in the system, components can move unexpectedly and cause serious injuries. • Before starting any work on the product: Switch off the power supply and secure against restarting.
Assembly CAUTION Risk of injury due to crushing. • Carefully install the workpiece direct clamping systems. • Do not put limbs in the gaps between the adaptable workpiece direct clamping modules or also the base module and machine. • Wear protective gloves.

Assembly The WDB 99-60 base module allows further change components of the modular system to be adapted to the workpiece direct clamp- ing. The change interface of the clamping system has a central connection screw for clamping an adaptable stacking module or a workpiece direct clamping or compensation module.

WDG 99-60 The WDB 99-60 base module has a change interface with VERO-S SPA 40 clamping pins. This makes it compatible with SCHUNK quick-change pallet modules VERO-S NSE plus 99 or VERO-S NSE plus 138. It therefore forms the base baseline study for a further change module from the WDB 99 module system.
Assembly Via the integrated air forwarding to the change interfaces, a VERO-S NSE plus quick-change pallet system plus or a WDA 99-70 direct clamping module can be controlled. If a pneumatic clamping system is to be supplied with compressed air on the clamping pillars, the closing nipples included in the scope of delivery must be connected to the clamping system.

Assembly The fastening to the already mounted clamping system is done by means of an integrated shaft connection in the clamping unit. The connection is loosened or tightened using the tapered screws with around 5 full revolutions each. Mounting and connection WDG 99-30 The tapered screw is tightened by the precise tightening torque specification clockwise on the mounted module.

Assembly The clamping system also has a workpiece system function, with which the flat work surface of the workpiece or the clamping pallet can be monitored via a differential pressure switch (see chapter "Function of the workpiece system function" ( 6.3, Page 47)).
Assembly 5.3.7 WDA 99-79 D32 The WDA 99-79 D32 compensation module is intended for individu- al height adjustment to the workpiece in connection with the WDA- SPA 32 direct clamping pin workpiece. It forms the flexible change interface to the workpiece or the clamping pallet. A cylindrical clamping pin can be fixed with this up to a certain extension limit.
Assembly 5.3.8 WDA 99-70-D36 The WDA 99-70 D36 compensation module in connection with the WDA-SPC 36 direct clamping pin workpiece is intended for individ- ual height adjustment to the workpiece. It forms the flexible change interface to the workpiece or the clamping pallet. A cylin- drical clamping pin can be fixed with this up to a certain extension limit.
• This is why only screws of strength class 12.9 may be used. • Only original SCHUNK clamping pins may be used. • If the clamping pins are to be used in customer-owned devices, the customer must provide sufficiently dimensioned threaded holes or a sufficiently thick mounting material.
Page 36
( 5.5, Page 38)). If clamping pins are used outside of SCHUNK pallets, for example in customer-specific devices or workpieces, the outer diameter of the part to be clamped must be large enough to completely cover the O-ring on the top of the quick-change pallet system.

Assembly Due to the shortened screwing-in length, reduced machining forces are envisaged for these clamping pins. The functionality and the selection for installation are described in the chapter "Clamping pins SPA 40, SPB 40, SPC 40, SPG 40" ( 5.4, Page 35).

Assembly This enables height tolerances on the workpiece or also height off- sets to the additional clamping pillars to be compensated and ad- justed. Using this clamping pin, a small radial offset and an angular deviation to the modular axis can be compensated. The WDA-SPC 36 clamping pin should be used in combination with the VERO-S SPA 40RF (centering pin) and SPB 40RF (sword pin) clamping pins.
Assembly Clamping pins with position balancing SPD-B, SPD-C The clamping pins have a movable clamping element which can be compensated to flexible bore hole fluctuations. The clamping pin SPD-B satisfies the function of a sword pin and allows a position balancing in the longitudinal direction of ± 1 mm. For the use of the SPD-B, a fit seating in the installation space is required.

Assembly WDB 99-50 base module or the WDG 99-50 basic module. The air connection can be closed with the locking screw included in the scope of delivery. Otherwise, the WDA 99-70 compensation mod- ule has a sealing element for this, which closes the air supply against the upcoming system pressure to the base module.
Assembly Compressed air supply The compressed air is supplied to the clamping systems via con- ventional compressed air tubes of nominal size 4 mm. The compressed air tubes can be reinforced with tube protection sleeves made of stainless steel to protect them from hot splinters. The tube protection sleeves are available in three prepared lengths and can be cut to length.
Functional description Functional description The clamping systems of the WDB 99 modular system can be com- bined with individual clamping pillars using change interfaces similar to a quick-change pallet system and joined using the manual con- necting devices of the system components. This enables a clamping device setup for 5-sided machining of a workpiece to be joined on several clamping pillars.
Functional description When changing an additional modular system component, the tapered screw at the intake interface of a base module, basic module or stacking module must be turned back clockwise until the tapered tip of the screw does not protrude into the taper mounting.
Functional description In the clamping devices, sealing elements are inserted at the bot- tom, which ensure a hose-free connection to the air supply. For clamping devices without pneumatic actuation, such as a WDA 99-79 D32 compensation module, sealing elements are likewise used;...
• The hydraulic clamping system may not be clamped over 25°C without joined clamping pins • Only original SCHUNK clamping pins may be used. The actuating screw may not be actuated with a mechanical screwdriver! Use SCHUNK hexagonal socket screwdriver (included or accesso- ries).
Operation Operation WARNING Risk of injury due to losing pallets or workpieces in the case of incorrect actuation caused and by means of turning application. • The danger zone must be surrounded by a protective enclo- sure during operation. • Do not use the clamping systems on the lathes. •...
Maintenance and care Maintenance and care The clamping systems for the VERO-S WDB 99 direct workpiece clamping and the used VERO-S NSE plus quick-change pallet systems, WDA 99-70 are designed for low-maintenance operation, meaning it is only necessary to open and disassemble the clamping systems and clamping modules under exceptional circumstances.
Repair work is only allowed to be carried out at a SCHUNK site. Ambient conditions and operating conditions • Make sure that the contact surfaces of the interface are always clean.
