Product liability and warranty Product liability and warranty General These operating instructions are part of the technical documentation for the ThermoGrip induction device ISG2410 / ISG2430. These operating instructions are important so that the device can be used safely, correctly and efficiently.
Product liability and warranty Intended purpose The ThermoGrip induction device ISG2410 / ISG2430 is used for the thermal engagement and disengagement of tools in shrink chucks. Any other use above and beyond this is deemed not in accordance with the intended use. We will not be liable for any resulting damage.

Product liability and warranty Service We will be happy to help solve problems or perform repairs and modifications that are not described in these operating instructions. For problems or queries, make note of the device and generator serial numbers. The device serial number can be found on the type plate on the left side panel, the generator serial numbers is on the right side of the black generator box.
Safety Safety The induction generator has been built to comply with the state-of-the-art design at the time of delivery and is safe to operate. Nevertheless, there are still risks involved with operating the device if it is used by untrained or unqualified personnel or if it is not used as intended. Therefore, must be observed: Please read the operating instructions carefully and familiarize yourself with the operating elements before commissioning and using the device!
Safety Risks from hot parts The very effective heating function only heats the relevant surface zones of the chuck with the lowest heat input possible. The surface of the heated chucks reaches temperatures of up to 400°C. The coil and the cutting tool hardly heats up at all when operated properly. Caution! Risk of injury caused by burns from hot parts! As a result of the shrinking process the heated tool assembly radiates heat.
Safety Risks relating to electromagnetic radiation If used correctly, the device does not emit any electromagnetic radiation that is dangerous to its environment. The radiation safety of the system is checked and verified through tests performed in accordance with EC Machinery Directive (see 10.6, EC Declaration of Conformity, page 50). The shrinking process must not be operated without the ferrite disc being inserted! If the induction heating is started when there is no ferrite disc being inserted in the coil, the...
Controls and commissioning ISG2410 / ISG2430 Controls and commissioning ISG2410 / ISG2430 Assembly Caution: Please inspect the unit for shipping damages prior to assembly. Ensure that the unit is not damaged during the unpacking process. In particular, the cable system must not be bent or twisted out of its position of movement! Handle the unit with care.
Controls and commissioning ISG2410 / ISG2430 3.1.2.2 Mounting the guide unit Place the guide unit sub-assembly in the bores and fasten with the two enclosed screws (DIN912 M6x20, see Fig. 5). The PE screws at the side must be fastened tightly. (Fig. 6) Fig.
Controls and commissioning ISG2410 / ISG2430 3.1.2.5 Connecting the compressed air supply Compressed air must be oil-free! The compressed air supply must be connected properly to the unit. The pneumatic connection of the ISG2410-WK is located on the left hand side. Fig.

Operating the ISG2410 / ISG2430 Switching on the device ➢ Switch on the main switch The display shows the type of the machine. Now you are in the main menu. Shrinking Configuration Service The ISG2430-TWK / ISG2430-TLK is ready for use now. At ISG2410-WK please note: After selecting Shrinking or Service and pressing the OK button, the compressed air is switched The linear unit moves down initially and then upwards.
Shrinking Shrinking Basic shrink-fitting information Only tools with a ground shank and tolerance h4, h5 or h6 should be used. Tools with shank tolerance h7 cannot be securely clamped. The following shank tolerances are required for the various shank diameters: Shank Ø...
Shrinking Work sequences when clamping or releasing a tool For your own safety, please observe the following rules when working with the ISG2410 / ISG2430: Always observe the safety instructions for all shrink-fit processes! At ISG2430-TWK, after finishing the shrinking procedure, the cooling down must be operated manually through pressing the Cool button.
Shrinking 5.2.2 Clamping By pressing on the tool during the subsequent heating phase you assist the clamping process. If the tool has been inserted and the shrinking time has not yet ended, it is helpful to end the heating process with the Stop button, so as not to continue to heat the tool unnecessarily. After the selected shrinking time runs out or the Stop button is pushed, the coil is brought to the upper end position (ISG2430-TWK / ISG2430-TLK) and the cooling device is pulled upwards (ISG2430- TWK).

Shrinking 5.4.1 ThermoGrip clamping chucks: PARAMETER The necessary parameters for the ThermoGrip chuck such as the generator output power, heating period, cooling time and disc sizes for the chuck type are programmed in the factory equipment of the ISG2410 / ISG2430 (see 5.4.1.1, Table of factory defined parameters, page 23). Attention: Special ferrite discs for TSF and TER shrink-fit chucks are necessary (see Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.

Shrinking ➢ Especially for smaller tools, do NOT increase the heating time by one second at the same power setting. Instead, increase it by 1s and reduce the output power by 20% at the same time. The product of power x time is the energy input. If a cycle at 3s and 100% (3x1=3) is not successful, increase to 4s/ 80% (4*0.8=3.2) and so forth.
Shrinking 5.4.3 Define your own Parameters: TOOL MEMORY 5.4.3.1 Setup TOOL MEMORY at the machine At the beginning, a similar standard chuck is selected from the existing parameter list. Start with mode PARAMETER similar to standard shrinking (see Chapter 5.4.1, ThermoGrip clamping chucks: PARAMETER, page 21). It is important to define the disc for the new chuck.
