2. Chuck mounting
To achieve the highest concentricity of the chuck to spindle, the
spindle nose must be checked, with regard to the following
points, as shown in the sketch below.
2.1 Check the radial and axial run-out of the machine spindle
nose, as shown in the sketch below.
2.2 Using an H-type straight-edge check the end surface runout. Special care must be taken to ensure that the bores in the
end surface are free of burrs and clean.
2.3 As a function of the spindle head size, chuck mounting is
by either a mounting flange or an intermediate plate. The
mounting flange and/or intermediate plate are included in the
chuck scope of supply.
When a mounting flange is used it must first be installed on the
machine spindle and checked as described under 2.1 and 2.2 to
ensure a max. radial run-out of 0.01 mm and a max. axial runout of 0.005 mm. Finally the chuck must be mounted to the
flange.
When an intermediate plate is used, the chuck is mounted direct
to the machine spindle.
2.4 To check chuck radial run-out and axial parallelity, a precision-ground test shaft must be clamped between the face driver
and tailstock centers.
2.5 The draw bar and draw tube must be made of high-grade
tensile steel with a minimum tensile strength of 50 N/mm
2
.
Draw bar and draw tube must be perfectly aligned, this is also
applicable to the threads at each end which must be absolutely
concentric, relative to each other. To eliminate the difference
between the spindle bore and the draw tube outer diameter,
guide rings should be fitted, or welded, to the draw bar or the
machine spindle provided with guide bushes. The fitted clearance between guide ring and spindle bore should be approx. 0.2
mm.
2.6 As a matter of principle, any possible remains of swarf
must be carefully removed from the machine spindle before the
chuck is installed. In addition, the outer surfaces of the draw
tube and the draw bar must be greased.
3. Cylinder, chuck and face driver Installation
3.1 Thoroughly clean the cylinder mounting flange and check
for radial and face run-out accuracy (see also item 2, point 3).
3.2 Engage the thrust tube and thrust rod threads in those of
the cylinder piston.
3.3 Attach the cylinder to the cylinder mounting flange and
check radial and face run-out (max. permissible deviation: radial
run-out = 0.01 mm, face run-out = 0.005 mm).
3.4 Secure the flexible hose lines for clamping and release
pressure.
3.5 lnstall the leak-off oil hose and the anti-rotation locking
device.
The leak-off oil and coolant return lines must be
installed vertically. ModeI RT 38-20.25 micron, pressure filters are to be installed in the lines to prevent the entry of
foreign bodies.
The stationary feed housing, anti-rotation locking device must
be installed absolutely stress-free. All connecting lines must be
of a flexible nature to ensure that no external pressure can be
effective at the cylinder housing. Safety guards for rotating components are to be supplied by the machinery manufacturer.
Recommended hydraulic oil:
ISO-HM 32 (2.5-3 °E at 50 °C) or DIN HLP 32
3.6 Attach the chuck mounting flange and check face and
radial run-out as described under Para 2.
3.7 Move both cylinder pistons to their foremost position and
determine the precise length of the thrust tube and thrust bar in
accordance with the enclosed drawing.
3.8 Install the chuck without face driver, top jaws and distributor shaft. For mounting purposes, the chuck piston must be in
its rearmost position. In the case of the model KRS-NZ 190
chucks, connection of the chuck piston to the draw tube is established by turning the complete chuck, whereas in the case of
the chuck sizes starting with the model KRS-NZ 250 a special key
is supplied to facilitate insertion of the draw bush into the draw
tube. Finally, the shaft component chuck is pushed onto the
chuck mounting flange or, in the case of direct installation,
mounted to the machine spindle extension.
3.9 Using the 3 securing screws, secure the shaft-component
chuck to the chuck flange or the machine spindle extension.
3.10 Check chuck radial run-out at the measuring surface "A"
(see page 3) max. permissible run-out = 0.02 mm.
3.11 Thoroughly grease the distributor shaft and insert it into
the chuck piston bore.
3.12 Using the 3 alignment wedges, adjust the face driver radial run-out to max. = 0.005 mm (measuring surface 'B') and
simultaneously tighten the securing screws to remove all clearance. lt is essential to take great care to ensure that the counter diameter of the basic body (Part 1) is not deformed in the
area of the face driver alignment bore.
3.13 Install the top jaws in accordance with the jaw markings.
4. Stroke monitoring
The best possibility for the installation of jaw stroke and clamping piston II position monitors (actuation of the face driver central piston unit) is offered at the rear end of the cylinder spindle. The jaw stroke should be such as to ensure that a residual
stroke is available for subsequent clamping.
The design of the limit switches and method of limit switch signal transmission varies for the individual machinery models and
must, in each case, be specifically matched to the machine controls. The chuck jaw stroke signal and clamping pressure line
monitor signal are utilized to initiate spindle rotation release.
