Table 8 Defective Measures Check that the hydraulic pressure is operating by the motion of the flexible hose, etc. Piston Operation Check that there are no mistakes in piping. Inability Try operations when operation inability specified in the items of the trial operation. Check that the pressure is as specified at the cylinder pipe inlet by attaching a pressure Cylinder gauge near the inlet of the cylinder. Thrust Force Wearing of the O-ring inside is possible when the flow rate of the returning side pipe or Insufficiency the drain is more than usual. Check that the viscosity of the hydraulic oil is as designated. Temperature Replenish the hydraulic oil inside the tank if it is low. Rise When the room temperature is high and the radiation effect of the tank is bad, control the oil temperature using a cooler or a fan, etc. Do not suck air. Replenish the hydraulic oil inside the tank if it is low. Pump noise If a large amount of dirt is deposited inside the tank, or when the hydraulic oil is deteriorated, the pump may be worn out abnormally, and it will be necessary to repair the pump. Provide a stream slope, without air pockets, and no back pressure must be applied. Oil leakage Return the drainage onto the surface of the oil of the hydraulic unit . from oil seal Check that the air breather of the hydraulic unit is not clogged. WARNING ・If the chuck failed due to a seizure or breakage, remove the chuck from the machine, following the disassembly steps in the chuck instruction manual, and then remove the cylinder by the reverse steps of "9.

The dimension L1 and L2 in Fig.10 are determined from the distance A between the cylinder adapter and the back plate. (Example) In the combination of HW-12, YW1225R, and when A=800mm, the draw bar length L1 is to be L1 = A-12 = 800-12 = 788mm, the draw pipe length L2 is to be L2 = A+62 = 800+62 = 862mm. At the time of the screw process of the dimension F and V, the precision is to be JIS 6H and 6h, 6g matching the screw of the piston of the cylinder. Pay attention so that the thread parts on both ends and the inner periphery do not swing or become unbalanced. DANGER ・The draw-bar and draw-pipe must have enough strength. If the draw-bar or draw-pipe is broken due to low strength, a gripping force is lost instantane ously, causing the workpiece to fly out.

10 . About Hydraulic Circuit Design ○Consider the hydraulic circuit design so that the operation is easy and no mistakes in operation occur. Attempt failsafe for the circuit so as not to cause any accidents even in the case of blackout. (Fig. 16) ○It is incorporated with a lock mechanism to maintain the specified gripping force even if the supplied pressure abnormally drops due to blackout or malfunction of the pressure resource while processing a work, however, it does not function unless the following warnings are observed. DANGER ・Use the operation cylinder incorporated with a lock valve or relief valve to be prepared for blackout. ・Additionally, the solenoid valve is to be in a circuit to retain the gripping port position when no electric current is carried. The switching of the cylinder is to be 4 port 2 position with electromagnetic valve, and design the hydraulic circuit which grips the work in the state that the solenoid valve is degaussed. If the circuit is designed in the opposite way, if there is a blackout, the work could be released and fly out. ・Provide a valve to switch over the inside and outside diameter gripping to prevent an operation mistake when changing the gripping.
