Depending on the operating conditions, the function and clamping force must be checked after a certain period of operation . For this purpose, a calibrated clamping force meter (e.g. SCHUNK IFT) must be used. The loading conditions are shown below for the different chuck variants. 2-jaw...
Basic safety notes The clamping force should always be measured with the clamping device in the same condition as it is used in for the current clamping application. If top jaws with clamping steps are used, measuring must be performed in the same step as for the respective clamping task.
Basic safety notes 2.17 Protection against dangerous movements Unexpected movements If the system still retains residual energy, serious injuries can be caused while working on the product. Switch off the energy supply, ensure that no residual energy remains and secure against inadvertent reactivation. Never rely merely on the response of the monitoring function to avert danger.

Basic safety notes DANGER Possible risk of death for operating personnel if a jaw breaks or if the clamping device fails because the technical data has been exceeded and a workpiece is released or parts fly off! Never exceed the technical data specified by the manufacturer for using the clamping device.
Basic safety notes CAUTION There is a risk of limbs being crushed by moving parts during manual loading and unloading and the clamping procedure. Do not reach between the chuck jaws. Use loading devices. CAUTION Allergic reactions or irritation due to skin or eye contact with lubricants on the product.

Assembly 4.3 Distributor ring The distributor ring is a completely separate component from the chuck and is centered and held stationary on the spindle head of the lathe axially and radially with a spacer bracket. After the first set-up of the chuck on the spindle nose of the lathe, the height of the spacer bracket is defined.
Assembly 4.3.1 Mounting with bracket The console height dimension is calculated by adding together the distances between the face side of the headstock and that of the distributor ring. If the headstock face surface is machined, the calculated dimension can be taken as the height dimension for the spacing console.

4.5 Optional mechanical pressure monitor with inductive proximity switch If the chuck is ordered with the optional mechanical pressure monitoring (SCHUNK ID no. 0818205), this option is already integrated in the chuck. The monitoring function has been set to the working pressure of 6 bar.
Page 36
Assembly After attaching the chuck and the distributor ring the mechanical pressure monitoring system should be put into operation. Insert the switch cam (93) into the rod (99) and tighten the set screw (107). Pressurize the chuck to the working pressure (6 bar) so that the jaws move radially inward.
The left-hand inductive proximity switch should trigger when the dimension "L" of the control cam has the following dimension: ROTA TB2 470-185 LH: 29.4 mm ROTA TB2 520-191 LH: 28.7 mm ROTA TB2 600-275 LH: 28.1 mm ROTA TB2 630-275 LH: 24.1 mm ROTA TB2 685-325 LH: 28.1 mm...
Function 5 Function The item numbers specified for the corresponding individual components relate to the chapter Drawings, [/ 57]. } 10 5.1 Principle of Operation The problem of air supply was solved by a stationary distributor ring with profiled ring seals arranged in it. Via passage openings in the two elastically radially flexible profile seals, the compressed air flows via a twin non-return valve to one of the two pressure chambers.
Function The air is only transmitted when the lathe spindle is at a standstill via profile seals arranged radially in the distributor ring. The profile seal is designed in such a way that the outer upper surface part is larger than the surface of the passage openings.
Function execute only one stroke during blocking of their corresponding cylinder chambers. Both O.D. and I.D. clamping are therefore possible through the entire valve system. From cylinder From Air transmission To cylinder To distributor chamber II distributor system ring chamber I ring Locking screw Vented...
Function Fault Causes and solutions Dual stroke chuck: The overlap of the clamping stroke in the chuck piston When clamping the workpiece the 3 is insufficient. There is a danger that parts will be indicator pins protrude from the front damaged in the force transmission area.
Turning, facing or finish-turning of the ROTA TB2 power chuck is not allowed. Drilling in the front face side of the chuck is permitted only after consulting the SCHUNK technical sales department. 08.00 | ROTA TB2 / ROTA TB2 LH | Pneumatic power chuck | en | 0889132...
Commissioning and maintenance 6.2 Maintenance A type WEH maintenance unit, consisting of filter, water separator, and oiler, must be connected upstream of the power chuck. The air enriched with oil supplies all sliding parts of the cylinder chamber with an oil film. The oil level of the oil tank must be checked daily, and oil must be added if necessary.

Commissioning and maintenance Flow rate characteristic curves and pressure drops Flow rate Cleaning and lubrication of the lathe chuck The even clamping force, accuracy, and life span of the chuck depend greatly on regular cleaning and sufficient lubrication. Rust, scale, casting dust, and chips produce friction and reduce motion.
Commissioning and maintenance through-hole and by the closed base jaws. Coolant washes away lubricant. Therefore, every lathe chuck occasionally must be completely disassembled, cleaned, and lubricated, and the sealing rings replaced. The time for which the chuck can be used before full maintenance is required depends on the level of dirt it accumulates and the clamping frequency.
Page 47
Commissioning and maintenance Hardened reversible jaws should only be used in sets in accordance with the packaging, as they are ground on the chuck in sets. 1 set of hardened reversible jaws is normally ordered for a chuck. When installing and removing the reversible jaws numbered 1 to 3, make sure that the individual jaws are installed/removed on/from the base jaws with the same designation in order to ensure a high level run-out accuracy.
Disassembly and assembly 7 Disassembly and assembly The item numbers specified for the corresponding individual components relate to the chapter Drawings, [/ 57]. } 10 7.1 Disassembly and cleaning Unscrew both the pneumatic quick coupling pieces from the distributor ring (item 8), and detach the distributor ring (item 8) from the spindle nose together with the bracket.
Page 49
Disassembly and assembly Unscrew the locking screws with the O-rings (items 10 and 48) and remove the diaphragms (item 33) from the chuck. Remove the sound absorber (item 50). ROTA TB2 without mechanical pressure monitoring: Loosen the set-screw (item 103) in the chuck body radial bore.
Disassembly and assembly (item 1) and the hardened reversible jaws are designated as 1, 2, and 3 so that the same position and thus the same true running accuracy is achieved during assembly. CAUTION Parts of the indicator pin function are under spring pressure! Remove the set screw (item 27) on all 3 jaw sides and remove the compression springs (item 28), pins (item 18) and indicator pins (item 17) from the chuck.
Page 51
Disassembly and assembly For chuck sizes ROTA TB2 850 (LH) and TB2 1000 (LH) the screws (item 21) are not required, i.e. the sealing disk is inserted into the chuck body. Push the piston cover (item 6) with O-ring (items 41 and 44) into the piston (item 3) and tighten the hexagon socket screws (item 25).
Disassembly and assembly 7.2.1 Mounting of optional mechanical pressure monitoring system In general, the working pressure may only be inspected for O.D. clamping. Loosen set-screw (pos. 103) at the circumference of the chuck body. Remove lock (pos. 69) with the extension (pos. 99) and the O-rings (pos.
