Assembly 4 Assembly 4.1 General Installation Notes Pre-assembly measures Lift the quick-change pallet system carefully out of the packaging (e.g. using suitable lifting equipment). For clamping stations NSL3 400 or higher, eye bolts are supplied for transporting the clamping station. The eye bolts are to be mounted into the transport threads on the base plate and then removed after assembly.
Assembly 4.2 Aligning the clamping station The clamping station can be aligned with loose T-nuts along an aligning groove on the machine table. At least two T-nuts offset lengthwise are provided and their size is matched to the aligning groove on the machine table. The T-nuts are not included in the scope of delivery of the clamping station.

Assembly Even height of the clamping modules Even height of the clamping modules inside a clamping station is only ensured when in a clamped state. Set-up is performed by means of individually inserted holes or optionally available clamp blanks. The clamping station or the clamp blanks must be fastened using adequately dimensioned mounting screws in accordance with DIN EN ISO 4762 starting with thread size M10.

If clamping pins are used outside of SCHUNK pallets, for example in customer-specific devices or workpieces, the outer diameter of the part to be clamped must be large enough to completely cover the plan sealing ring on the top of all quick-change pallet systems involved in the clamping function.
The clamping pallets achieve highly accurate repeat accuracy in combination with the VERO-S NSL3 clamping station. When using single clamping pallets, these can be placed in a position-oriented and non-rotating fashion on a single NSE3 138- V1 clamping module in combination with the NSL3-V1 clamping station.
Assembly VERO-S clamping pallets Two fitting grooves on the NSE3 138-V1 Indexing pins for positional clamping module for angular positioning orientation at 0° and 90° NSL3 150-V1-T with single clamping pallet 4.6 Screw tightening torques Tightening torques for mounting clamping pins to the workpiece or to the clamping pallet.
Function 5 Function The VERO-S NSL3 clamping station guarantees rapid changing of VERO-S clamping pallets, devices or workpieces in the machine room with a high level of repeat accuracy. In the VERO-S quick- change pallet modules, the clamping pallet is positioned and locked via the related VERO-S clamping pin.
Function slides of the quick-change pallet module moves into the closed position. Exchanging the clamping pallet is not possible with clamping modules that are not locked. WARNING Risk of injury due to clamping pallet falling from the clamping station if the unlocking connection is not scheduled pressurized according to schedule.
Function 5.4 VERO-S connecting strip ASL1-G1/8", ASL2-G1/8" (optional) Upon customer request, a VERO-S terminal block can be mounted to the clamping station in order to facilitate access to the air supply point. The connecting strip is equipped with an elevated connection point with a size NW 7.4 sealing nipple.
Via the cone seal, the quick-change pallet system can be protected against the penetration of coolant and chips into the change interface. Note The clamping stations VERO-S NSL3 are not fitted as standard to a connection position for the exhaust function of the clamping modules. Note To install the cone seal in a VERO-S NSE3, the plug fitted must first be removed from the change interface.
Function KVS3 cone seal Remove the plug installed in the clamping KVS3 cone seal module before installing retrofitted in the cone seal clamping module NSL3 clamping station retrofitted with cone seal 5.6 Monitoring system AFS3 138 MMS (optional) The AFS3 138 MMS monitoring system can be mounted to the NSL3 clamping station upon customer request.
Function 5.7 Monitoring system AFS3 138 PMI (optional) The AFS3 138 PMI monitoring system can be mounted to the NSL3 clamping station upon customer request. The monitoring system can evaluate whether the operating states is "TENSIONED" or "UNLOCKED" and transmit this data to the machine control system.
Function 5.8 Media feed-through VERO-S MDN 3-2 (optional) As an option, the NSL3 clamping station can be enhanced with the VERO-S MDN 3-2 media feed-through. The media feed-through is intended for transmitting liquid and gaseous media from the NSL3 clamping station to the clamping pallet. The compact design of the media feed-through allows for variable positioning on the base plate of the clamping station.
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.
Risk of injury and risk of damage to the clamping module when opening the housing cover. If the clamping module has to be disassembled, send the module to SCHUNK for repair. The covers of the clamping modules are spring preloaded and may only be removed by trained specialist personnel. The...
Maintenance and care • Check the supply hose line to the pressure supply of the clamping station for damage at regular intervals. The supply hose line must be of the appropriate nominal hose width and be completely inserted into the air connections and securely clamped.
Defective air connections Check air supply Pressure below minimum Check operating pressure (min. 5 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 pins Reduce support weight 8.2 The clamping areas do not unlock perfectly...
