Assembly Assembly Pre-assembly Request our installation drawings if installing the module in the customer's clamping stations yourself. The installation position must be observed when performing the installation yourself. Partial installation Do not use Full installation NOTICE With installation location 2, the clamping slide can be blocked by chips and dirt.
Page 21
Assembly WARNING Risk of injury due to unexpected movements when installing and removing the cone seal! This can cause components to move unexpectedly when working on the cone seal, resulting in injuries. • Before starting all work on the product, refer to the cone seal chapter.
Assembly Fastening and connection Flatness If several linked clamping modules are mounted, make sure that the flatness and height deviation of the outer ring locating surfaces from clamping module to clamping module (with respect to a 200 mm gauge) is ≤ 0.03 mm. The gauge deviation may not exceed ±...

Assembly Air bleed screw for applications without turbo Connection for blow-out / air purge The air connection for the blow-out air / air purge is achieved via the bottom M7 connection thread by installation of a screw-in union. Alternatively, the air supply can be actuated from a channel bore hole leading out of the installation location of the clamping module.
Page 24
The NW3 coupling nipples to be used for the side of the clamping pallet as well as the relevant installation drawing can be requested from SCHUNK. NOTE If the media transfer function is used, ensure that the coupling elements are depressurized and ventilated when loading and unloading the clamping pallet.
Assembly Number of modules At least nominal hose width 4 mm 2, 3, 4 6 mm from 5 8 mm When disconnecting hose lines, the relevant openings of the air supply connections must be protected with seal plugs or sealing caps to prevent the ingress of dirt or coolant.
Only bolts of strength class 12.9 may therefore be used for this. Only original SCHUNK clamping pins may be used. If the clamping pins are to be used in customer-owned devices,...
Page 28
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 inner support area of the quick-change pallet system.

Function Function The item numbers specified for the corresponding individual components relate to chapter drawings.( 10, Page 46) KVS3 138 cone seal The quick-change pallet system is equipped with a cone seal to protect the change interface. The sealing unit can be spring-loaded and reset when the module is unlocked.
The NW3 coupling nipples to be used (I.D. no. 1374387) for the side of the clamping pallet as well as the relevant installation drawing can be requested from SCHUNK. NSE-A3 138-V4-P1 has four open media transfer unit interfaces.
In this case, the system must be inspected and damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Only original SCHUNK spare parts may be used! WARNING Risk of injury due to destruction of pallets or workpieces in the case of incorrect actuation caused by incorrect operation.
