This unit is installed on the machining centers, and on its table surface the chuck or fixture is attached to clamp the workpiece. It indexes the angle of machining position by the control of machining center or Kitagawa’s own controller. During the machining, the working fluid is supplied to retain the workpiece.
8. Table Clamp 8-1. Precautions for table clamp Be sure to rotate the table with the table unclamped and use the table CAUTION with it clamped when machining after positioning. If the table is operated by mistake, take care since the worm wheel may be damaged. Check the signals of pressure switch to check Clamp/Unclamp operations.
8-2. Supply of pneumatic and hydraulic pressure for clamp The clamper to clamp the table is incorporated in the NC rotary table and two air and hydraulic clamp specifications are provided for operation. However, in the air pressure clamp specifications, the air hydraulic booster is incorporated in the table.

CAUTION 1) When the air relief plug is too loosened, there is a possibility that the air relief plug flies out and hydraulic oil spills out. Slightly push the air relief plug with the hexagon bar spanner and cover it with rags so as not to fly out the plug and spill out the hydraulic oil.
8-4. Air purge Dew drops may occur in the motor case by ambient environment. In this case, each component in addition to electric apparatus will fail or rust will WARNING occur. Therefore, the air is purged and exhausted from the air purge exhaust port.
The set pressure values of pressure switches for air/hydraulic pressure clamp specifications are as follows: Clamp check 2.20 MPa (SP1, SP3) (176 112 200) Unclamp check 0.40 MPa (SP2, SP4) (176 120 400) 8-6. Solenoid valve for Clamp/Unclamp In case of NC rotary table made by air hydraulic clamp specifications, the solenoid valve is incorporated. Since the following piping is used as standard, take care when electric cables are connected.
When performing the maintenance work, shut off the power (primary power supply) of the machining center or Kitagawa’s own controller to set the pressure adjusting valve of air combination that supplies the air to the NC rotary table to 0 MPa or shut off the power of the air compressor to exhaust the compressed air, so as to stop the supply of the working fluid.
