Lubricating And Cleaning The Lathe Chuck - Optimum OPTI turn TU 3008G Operating Manual

The business operator must guarantee that suitable measures in organisation and instruction
are taken to ensure that the appropriate safety rules and regulations are complied with by the
persons entrusted with operation, aintenance and repair of the manual chuck.

4.25.8 Lubricating and cleaning the lathe chuck

ATTENTION!
Do not use compressed air to remove dust and foreign substances from the lathe chuck.
Coolant squirts on the lathe chuck and removes the grease from the master jaws. In order to
maintain the tensioning force and the long-term accuracy of the lathe chuck, the lathe chuck
must be lubricated regularly. Insufficient lubrication will result in malfunctions at reduced tensio-
ning force, which affects the accuracy and causes excessive wear and seizing.
Depending on the chuck type and operating state, the tensioning force of a lathe chuck can
decrease by up to 50 percent of the nominal tensioning force.
A presumably securely clamped workpiece can then fall out of the chuck during processing.
Oil the chuck regularly at the oiler. Use additional an lubricant on the toothing of the clamping
jaws, which is of high quality and for high pressure bearing surfaces. The lubricant should with-
stand the coolant and other chemicals.
