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 Ventilation via turbo connection, ventilation via the cover Ventilation via lid in version with cone seal Applies to NSE3 138-K /-V1-K /V4-K /-P-K Turbo connection When using the turbo connection (if supply is connected), the spring actuated locking procedure is actively supported with air pressure and in so doing strengthens the achievable pull down force.
Assembly side of the module. O-rings are used to seal the channel bores against the bearing surface. NOTE If the media transfer function is used, ensure that the coupling elements are depressurized and ventilated when loading and unloading the clamping pallet. Before starting the machining process, ensure that the change unit rests flat on the bearing surface of the quick-change pallet system and is locked.

Function Function The item numbers specified for the corresponding individual components relate to chapter drawings.( 10, Page 55) KVS3 138 cone seal The -K versions of the NSE3 and NSE-T3 quick-change pallet systems are equipped with a cone seal to protect the change interface.
Function Media transfer unit for NSE3 138-P clamping modules Type NSE3 138-P and NSE3 138-P-K clamping modules have two media transfer interfaces for pneumatics, hydraulics or vacuum. A clamping device with two supply chambers can be controlled via the media transfer interfaces on the connected clamping pallet. The pressure-sealed coupling mechanisms do not open until coupling elements are connected.
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 losing pallets or workpieces in the case of incorrect actuation caused by incorrect operation.
