  • Page 25 Commissioning and operation After the clamping or opening procedure has finished, the reading for the working pressure is, however, maintained permanently until the next procedure and is not updated further. This allows the previously reached clamping or opening pressure to be controlled. (The actual pressure in the control line drops to 0 bar after the procedure has ended).

  • Page 28: Teach-In Mode

    Teach-in mode To be able to automatically recognize the end of a chuck's clamping or opening procedure, the ELKE 24/2F initially has to be taught into the connected chuck. In the process, the pressure sequences are measured and suitable parameters are determined.
