Basic safety notes Functional test After installation of the lathe chuck, its function must be checked prior to commissioning. Two important points are: Clamping force! At max. actuating force/pressure, the clamping force specified for the lathe chuck must be reached. Stroke control! The pressure should be monitored by the lathe via mechanical pressure sensing via sensors or wirelessly via a RSS-P1.
Page 12
Basic safety notes Option for path control of the control cam with stationary inductive proximity switch: Neither of the two proximity switches should be wired. When determining the clamping force required to machine a workpiece, the centrifugal force acting on the chuck jaws must be taken into account (according to VDI 3106).

Torques per screw DANGER Risk to life and limb of the operating personnel and significant property damage when the RPM limit is exceeded! With gripping from the outside inwards, and with increasing RPM, the effective clamping force is reduced by the magnitude of the increasing centrifugal force (the forces are opposed).
Torques per screw CAUTION This calculated force must not be larger than the maximum clamping force ΣS engraved on the lathe chuck. See also "Lathe chuck data" table ( 3.1, Page 23) From the above formula it is evident that the sum of the effective clamping force F and the total centrifugal force F is multiplied by...

Torques per screw Grades of Accuracy Tolerances for radial and axial run-out accuracy correspond to the Technical Supply Terms for lathe chucks as per DIN ISO 3442-3. Permissible imbalance The ROTA TB2 / ROTA TB2 LH in ungreased state without T-nuts and top jaws corresponds to the balancing quality class 6.3 (according to DIN ISO 21940-11).
Assembly Assembly Pre-assembly measures Carefully lift the product (e.g. using suitable lifting gear) from the packaging. CAUTION Danger of injury due to sharp edges and rough or slippery surfaces Use personal protective gear, especially safety gloves. Check the delivery for completeness and for transport damage. Check the machine spindle head or machined intermediate flange for radial and axial runout.
Assembly Distributor ring The distributor ring is a completely separate component from the chuck and is centered and held stationary on the spindle head of the lathe axially and radially with a spacer bracket. After the first set-up of the chuck on the spindle nose of the lathe, the height of the spacer bracket is defined.
Assembly 5.2.1 Mounting with bracket The console height dimension is calculated by adding together the distances between the face side of the headstock and that of the distributor ring. If the headstock face surface is machined, the calculated dimension can be taken as the height dimension for the spacing console.

Assembly 5.2.2 Mounting with 2-part clamping ring (D.R.M.B.) It is possible to clamp the distributor ring to the machine by means of a 2-part clamping ring onto a rigid collar (at least 8 mm wide). In this case the distributor ring is clamped radially to this collar by means of two screws.
A chuck flange is mounted on the spindle nose. 9 or 12 M16 or M24 hexagon socket screws are used to screw the chuck onto the chuck flange by the front face side. SCHUNK provides standard flanges that can be used to mount the ROTA TB2 chuck on spindles in accordance with DIN 55026, DIN 55027 and DIN 55029.
Optional mechanical pressure monitor with inductive proximity switch If the chuck is ordered with the optional mechanical pressure monitoring (SCHUNK ID no. 0818205), this option is already integrated in the chuck. The monitoring function has been set to the working pressure of 6 bar.
The right-hand inductive proximity switch should trigger when the dimension "L" of the control cam has the following dimension: ROTA TB2 470-185 LH: 29.4 mm ROTA TB2 520-191 LH: 28.7 mm ROTA TB2 600-275 LH: 28.1 mm ROTA TB2 630-275 LH: 24.1 mm...

Function Function The item numbers specified for the corresponding individual components relate to chapter drawings.( 13, Page 67) Principle of Operation The problem of air supply was solved by a stationary distributor ring with profiled ring seals arranged in it. Via passage openings in the two elastically radially flexible profile seals, the compressed air flows via a twin non-return valve to one of the two pressure chambers.
Function Air transmission system Air transmission The air is only transmitted when the lathe spindle is at a standstill via profile seals arranged radially in the distributor ring. The profile seal is designed in such a way that the outer upper surface part is larger than the surface of the passage openings.
Function CAUTION When actuating the clamping device (clamping or releasing), allow a short pause for ventilation between each shifting operation. This ventilation pause must be at least 0.5 seconds, depending on the length of the hose. We recommend using a 4/3 or 5/3 directional control valve for this (center position depressurized).

Commissioning and maintenance first needs to be removed. The double check valve is removed from the bore hole and the bore hole and the valve are cleaned to remove dirt and any foreign bodies. The silencers (item 50) must be cleaned or renewed every 2 months or whenever they become blocked.
Commissioning and maintenance Cleaning the silencer: Interval Demands every 2 months Clean the silencer, if necessary in case of severe contamination replace the silencer Please regularly check the lathe chuck for tightness by applying a clamping force tester over a longer period of time (> 10 min.). The clamping force should not drop during this period.
