Assembly Assembly Actions before starting assembly Lift the quick-change pallet system carefully out of the packaging. CAUTION Risk of injury due to sharp edges and rough or slippery surfaces • Wear personal protective equipment, particularly protective gloves. Check that the delivery is complete and that there is no transport damage.
Assembly General assembly notes Request our installation drawings if doing the installation yourself. If several linked clamping units are mounted, make sure that the flatness and height deviation of the locating surfaces from module to module (based on a gauge of 200 mm) lie within 0.01 mm. The interface position deviation must not exceed ±0.015 mm.

Assembly The hydraulic pressure for bleeding is to be selected significantly lower than the max. clamping pressure. Disassembling and assembling the quick-change pallet system The quick-change pallet system must be disassembled and assembled by specially trained personnel using special tools as well as special instructions.

Assembly The assembly clamping module is positioned using the centering diameter of the installation space: Ø 96H6. With the NSP-S 140, a pin (item 25) is additionally used. This secures the rotation of the module in relation to the plate or table. The pin also serves as position orientation for the electrical transfer on the NSP-S 140.
Page 22
Assembly Mounting the electrical transfer for the NSP-S 140 The electrical transfer (item 55) for the NSP-S 140 must be screwed into the plate or table with two screws (item 43). Under the transfer (item 55), a seal (item 46) must be placed in the groove of the transfer to seal it.
Assembly Clamping rings SRA, SRB, SRC Clamping rings The clamping rings SRA, SRB and SRC of the NSP are fastened in the installation space with 12 screws M10 of strength class 12.9. Two M12 forcing threads are provided on the clamping ring to facilitate removal.

Operation Operation WARNING Risk of injury due to losing pallets or workpieces in the case of incorrect actuation caused by incorrect operation • Disconnect the energy supply after locking. • Use check valves or safety switches. • The danger zone must be surrounded by a protective enclosure during operation.
Function Function NOTE In order to achieve the maximum lifting force, the clamping system should be operated with an operating pressure of 25 bar. If the operating pressure falls below this value, the clamping system cannot be decoupled properly. Clamping function Unlocking 1 To unlock the clamping system, hydraulic pressure has to be supplied (operating pressure 25 bar).
Function 5 The lifting pins are lowered and bring the pallet to the contact surface. 6 An air flow is generated on the bearing surface via blow-out bores. This way the clamping ring bearing surface is cleaned, so that when the pallet is set down, the flat surface is clean. 7 The clamping slides move outwards, and positively and form-fit lock the clamping ring on the pallet.
Function Dynamic pressure monitoring and blow-out function for cleaning the flat surface The quick-change pallet module NSP features dynamic pressure monitoring. Two channel holes are located on each of the four raised clamping ring locating surfaces of the clamping system in order to monitor the dynamic pressure.
Function Dynamic pressure monitoring at the clamping slides The quick-change pallet module NSP 140 features dynamic pressure monitoring on the clamping slides. It is therefore possible, for example, to monitor the dynamic pressure on the clamping slides of the quick-change pallet module using an electronic pressure switch.
Page 31
Function The signals are transmitted via spring contact pins in the module and via rigid contacts in the counterpart (machine table). ( 6.2, Page 19) The sensor signal is influenced by several cross influences. Therefore it is necessary to include a tolerance range to the voltage values per module.
Page 32
Function Calibration of the NSP-S 140 by the customer Connect the measuring instrument to the electrical interface and read the voltage value from the various clamping positions. Clamping positions: • Open module --> Apply opening pressure 12 -25 bar and read the voltage value on the measuring device.

Maintenance and care Maintenance and care The quick-change pallet system is designed for low-maintenance operation, so that opening and disassembling the clamping modules is only necessary in exceptional cases. The service life of the clamping system depends on the number of clamping cycles and the operating conditions.
Page 36
Maintenance and care After every disassembly operation, each quick-change pallet system must be ventilated. Only original SCHUNK spare parts may be used. CAUTION Risk of injury to persons and risk of damage to the clamping module when opening the cover.
Check the hydraulic connections Pressure below minimum Check the operating pressure (at least 12 bar) A component is broken (e.g. due to Replace the module or send it to SCHUNK for overloading) repair Excess tensile load on clamping ring Reduce the tensile force/contact weight.
