Assembly 4 Assembly 4.1 Pre-assembly Request our installation drawings if installing the module in the customer's clamping stations yourself. The installation position must be observed when performing the installation yourself. Partial installation Do not use Full installation CAUTION With installation location 2, the clamping slide can be blocked by chips and dirt.
Assembly CAUTION Danger of injury due to sharp edges and rough or slippery surfaces Wear personal protective equipment, particularly protective • gloves. 1. Check the flatness of the mounting surface. } 4.3 [ / 22]. 2. Screw the module with the O-rings inserted onto the clamping station.

Assembly Air bleeding for the piston chamber When connecting the quick-change pallet systems, it is important to note that it is only possible to completely bleed the air from the piston chamber via the air connections during the locking process. The relevant valves or shut-off valves should therefore be equipped with load relief.
Page 24
Assembly Turbo connection When using the turbo connection (if supply is connected), the spring-actuated locking procedure is actively supported with air pressure, thereby enhancing the achievable pull down force. One pressure pulse is sufficient to increase the force. The pressure line can be decoupled afterwards without the pull down force being impaired.
Assembly Removal from the installation space Detachable threads facilitate removal of the modules from the installation space of the clamping stations. To pull the clamping module out of the installation space, two levering tools (e.g. long cylindrical screws) are screwed diagonally into two existing internal threads of the mounting holes.

Function 5 Function The item numbers specified for the corresponding individual components relate to chapter drawings.} 10 [ / 60] 5.1 KVS 40 cone seal The -K versions of the NSE3 and NSE-T3 quick-change pallet systems are equipped with a cone seal to protect the change interface.
Function 5.2 Media transfer unit for NSE3 138-P clamping modules Type NSE3 138-P and NSE3 138-P-K clamping modules have two media transfer interfaces for pneumatics, hydraulics or vacuum. A clamping device with two supply chambers can be controlled via the media transfer interfaces on the connected clamping pallet. The pressure-sealed coupling mechanisms do not open until coupling elements are connected.
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.
Page 52
Operation WARNING Risk of injury due to sudden movements! If the energy supply to the media transfer units is switched on or if residual energy is still present, this can cause the clamping device to move unexpectedly during loading, which may result in serious injuries.
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 back cover of the clamping module is spring preloaded and must only be removed by trained specialist personnel. The...

Troubleshooting 8.5 Malfunctions when loading and unloading the change interface with fitted cone seal Possible cause Remedial measures Cone seal jams when being actuated Remove cone seal from the module and clean The pressed down cone seal does not Remove cone seal and clean it. Check return to its original position components for damage.
For NSE3 138 und NSE3-T3 138: The bearing shells may only be replaced in case of damage as part of maintenance work by SCHUNK. To do so, the quick- change pallet module must be sent to SCHUNK for maintenance.
