15 Assembly 6.1 General assembly notes If you wish to install the unit yourself, please request our drawing. If several clamping units are to be mounted in serial connection, please make sure that the evenness and deviation in height of the supporting surfaces from module to module keeps within 0.01 mm (relating to a depth gauge of 200 mm). The deviation of the interface position should not exceed ± mm. Due to the redundancy, clamping systems that are lying further than 160 mm apart from each other or whose positioning tolerance is not within ± 0.01 mm should use clamping rings with positioning accuracy in one direction (SRB 120). For clamping positions which are not used for alignment of the devices or pallets, clamping rings with centric scope (SRC 120) can be used ( 6.3, Page 20). NOTE When connecting the quick change pallet system, please make sure that a complete deaeration of the piston area during the locking operation is possible through the air ports. Therefore, valves or stop valves for deaeration should be available. If the turbo connection will not be used, it must be possible that the relevant piston side can be deaerated. If the pneumatic port for turbo effect should not be used, the concerned piston side must have to possibility to deaerate itself. When uncoupling the air hoses the corresponding openings have to be sealed with sealing plugs in order to prevent ingress of dirt or coolant into the module. If several clamping units are actuated with common air hoses, the following minimum cross section of the air feedings have to be respected.

All base sided air connections for module opened and the turbo function are closed with M5 x 4 set-screws at the delivery. The air connection is made the standard way via the coupling hose on the lower face side of the quick change pallet module. For axial sealing, the O-rings have to be inserted into the O-ring seat at the bottom of the clamping module. The enclosed pack of the NSA plus 120 contains the Ø 6 x 1.5 (Item 21) O-rings for sealing the bottom hose-free direct connections. If the pneumatic port for turbo effect is used, the spring-actuated locking process is actively supported with compressed air. If the pneumatic port for turbo effect should not be used, the concerned piston side must have to possibility to deaerate itself. If you wish to install the unit yourself, please request our drawing. The NSA plus 120 size has an air control, and dynamic pressure monitoring of the clamping slide position is possible. Via two separate air connections, the clamping slide position can be alternately monitored in OPENED and/or CLOSED status. The monitoring functions can be monitored via an electronic pressure switch. A pressure switch signals to the operator or the machine which position the clamping slides are in or if the clamping pallets are completely flush and locked. The air connection for the monitoring functions is done the standard way via the coupling hose on the lower face side of the quick change pallet module. To do this, remove the M5 x 4 Torx (Item 23) set-screws. For axial sealing, the O-rings have to be inserted into the O-ring seat at the bottom of the clamping module. The Ø 6 x 1.5 (Item 21) O-ring for sealing the air connection is contained in the enclosed pack.

20 Assembly 6.3 Clamping rings SRA, SRB, SRC NOTICE Notes on clamping rings and fastening screws Screws of strength class 12.9 must be used for fastening the clamping rings. Only original SCHUNK clamping rings may be used. If the clamping rings are to be used in customer-owned devices, the customer must provide sufficiently dimensioned threaded holes or a sufficiently thick mounting material. The clamping rings can be fastened onto the mounting or pallet in 2 different ways, the fastening variations are numbered in the preferred sequence (see Figure "Installation recommendations for clamping rings"). In case of fastening variant 1, the fastening screws are accessible from top of the pallet. This is advantageous if the quick-change pallet should be damaged, since the clamping plate can be removed from the clamping ring. If several clamping units linked to elements are assembled on a pallet, please consider that the admissible range of tolerance of evenness and the difference in height is ± 0.01 mm. Otherwise the optimal clamping and repeat accuracy of the quick-change pallet system cannot be guaranteed. When aligning the clamping rings to the clamping module, it must be ensured that the flat surface between the cylinder head countersinks is resting on the locating points of the clamping module. When using the air control function (( 8.3, Page 25)), it must be ensured that the clamping rings are in the right position orientation. The air outlet openings on the raised locating surfaces of the clamping module must be completely covered by the flat surface of the clamping ring. The cylinder head countersinks of the clamping ring must therefore not be orientated towards the air outlet holes. Request our installation drawings of the clamping rings if doing the installation yourself NSA plus en

23 Operation 7 Operation WARNING Risk of injury due to losing pallets or workpieces in the case of incorrect actuation caused by incorrect operation.risk of injury due to compressed air hoses coming loose when connected improperly. Disconnect the energy supply after locking. Use check valves or safety switches. The danger zone must be surrounded by a protective enclosure during operation. WARNING Risk of injury due to falling parts during transport of the quick change pallet system, when the axis of the clamping ring is in a horizontal position, or in the case of overhead application Use a crane during transport. In case of horizontal or overhead applications, secure the fixture or pallet against falling down during loosening the clamping modules. WARNING Risk of injury due to loosing pallets or workpieces if the supply of compressed air drops or fails, and due to the clamping rings immediately closing Do not reach into the clamping module. Apply pressure maintenance valves. Use loading devices. CAUTION There is a risk of limbs being crushed during manual loading and unloading of moving parts and during the clamping process. Do not reach into the clamping ring holder. Work with the smallest possible clamping and opening strokes. Use loading devices. Wear protective gloves NSA plus en 23

24 Function Function NOTICE In order to achieve the maximum lifting force, the clamping system should be actuated with an operating pressure of 6 bar. A lower operating pressure avoids proper decoupling of the clamping system Clamping function Unlocking 1 To unlock the clamping system, compressed air has to be supplied (operating pressure 6 bar). 2 The positively driven piston is moved upwards when it is actuated with compressed air. 3 The clamping slides (Item 2) and the piston (Item 4) are connected by a bevel joint. They move inwards and thus release the clamping ring. The lifting pins are moving upwards at the same time and lift the pallet. The clamping rings are available as a separate accessory in three versions (see chapter "Clamping rings SRA, SRB, SRC" ( 6.3, Page 20)). The clamping rings are assembled to customer-specific pallets or devices. 4 The pallet can be removed. Locking 1 Before inserting a pallet, the clamping system has to be supplied with compressed air (operating pressure 6 bar), so that the clamping slides retract and the system is in unlocked status. 2 The pallet can be inserted now. 3 To lock, depressurize the system. 4 The piston is led upwards by spring force. The locking process of the fast stroke is carried out first, then the one for the power stroke is actuated which leads to a very high pull-down force. When the turbo connection is actuated, the springactuated locking process is actively supported by compressed air. If the turbo connection is not used, the concerned piston side must be able to deaerate. 5 The lifting pin lowers and the pallet gets to the contact surface. 6 An air flow on the locating surface is created via a blow out groove. This way the clamping ring support is cleaned, so that when a pallet is set down, the flat surface is clean NSA plus en

25 Function 7 The clamping slides move outside and lock the clamping ring at the pallet self-locking as well as form-fit. Therefore pressure actuation of the clamping module during machining is not necessary. Centering of the clamping rings is done at the conical surface of the clamping module. The anglular alignment of the clamping slide is freely selectable. 8.2 Lifting function The NSA plus 120 quick-change pallet system has a lifting function for lifting the pallets after opening. During the locking process the clamping ring is self-centering and slowly clamped at the supporting surface. The lifting function is also used for air control (see chapter "Air control and blow-out function for cleaning the plane surface" ( 8.3, Page 25)). Two axially moveably lifting pins (Item 7) are integrated in the base body (Item 1). The lifting pins are sealed with O-rings (Item 16) against ingress of coolant, dust and chips. The blow-out function is started by the clamping slides (Item 2) and is trasmitted by the steel balls (Item 11). The lifting pins are located within the clamping ring. Therefore lifting is carried out directly at the bottom side of the pallet. The maximum admissible lifting force per clamping module is limited (see chapter "Technical data" ( 5, Page 13)). The admissible total weight of the device s setup which is to be lifted onto a clamping module, should not be exceeded. A higher weight can lead to warping during removal of the pallet. This could cause a malfunction and damage to the clamping system. The stroke range of the lifting pin amounts to 0.5 mm. In the locked condition the pins lower by about 0.1 mm. The lifting pins lower without any effort. No minimum tracking force of the clamping pallet is necessary. 8.3 Air control and blow-out function for cleaning the plane surface The NSA plus quick-change pallet module disposes of an air control. Channel holes are located on all four raised clamping ring locating surfaces of the clamping system in order to monitor the dynamic pressure. In this way the dynamic pressure at the supporting surface of the quickchange pallet module can be monitored with an electronic pressure switch. When the clamping module is unlocked or locked, differentiated pressure conditions NSA plus en 25

26 Function prevail at the supporting surface. Moreover, the bore holes of the air control are used as blow-out function for cleaning the plane surfaces (see chapter "Clamping function" - Locking ( 8.1, Page 24)). When using this control and cleaning function, it must be ensured that the clamping ring is in the right position orientation. The cylinder head countersinks of the clamping ring must not be positioned on the air outlet holes of the clamping module, since otherwise the blast air will escape and it will not be possible to build up a measurable dynamic pressure. The measurable differential pressure must be minimal 1 bar so that a reliable evaluation is possible, via the air gap sensor. The maximum pressure is 2 bar. For supervision, a pressure gauge, an adjustable throttle and an air gap sensor are needed. The clamping modules of a clamping station (connected in parallel up to a certain number) can be monitored on a pressure switch. The air connection is made the standard way via the coupling hose on the lower face side of the quick change pallet module. For sealing the air connection see chapter "Fastening and connection" ( 6.2, Page 16). Basically the use of the air control function is not necessary for the operation of the clamping module. 8.4 Dynamic pressure monitoring at the clamping slides The NSA plus quick-change pallet module features dynamic pressure monitoring on the clamping slides. It is therefore possible, for example, to query the dynamic pressure on the clamping slides of the quick-change pallet module using an electronic pressure switch. This means the slide position can be monitored electronically in order to ensure that the clamping slides are in an unlocked position. This way, the clamping system can be protected from any possible damage. The measurable differential pressure must reach a minimum of 1 bar in order for a reliable evaluation to be done via the air gap sensor. The maximum pressure is 2 bar. Monitoring requires a pressure gauge, an adjustable throttle and an air gap sensor. The air connection is made the standard way via the coupling bore on the lower face side of the quick-change pallet module. For sealing the air connection see chapter "Fastening and connection" ( 6.2, Page 16). Use of the dynamic pressure monitoring NSA plus en

27 Function function is not mandatory for the basic operation of the clamping module. For slide monitoring for "module opened", the clamping modules of a clamping station (connected in parallel up to a certain number) can be queried via a pressure switch. For slide monitoring for "module clamped", the clamping slides must be queried individually via their own pressure switch. 8.5 Pneumatic circuit diagram NSA plus en 27

28 Function The following points have to be observed when the NSE plus quick-change pallet systems are controlled: Turbo-Function: The operating pressure for the Turbo-Function should not exceed 6 bar. Clamping slide monitoring: The max. pressure of the slide monitoring amounts to 2 bar. Limit the volume flow to 15 l/min. The difference in pressure in case of module failure amounts to min. 1 bar. If the slide monitoring of several standard NSE plus modules are connected in series, just the evaluation of the OPENED position functions (dynamic pressure = all modules are opened). In order to ensure a reliable evaluation, the value of the pressure and air volume has to be maintained constantly. Fluctuations in pressure may influence the pressure setting and may lead to wrong results. Cable length and cable cross section may influence the switching time of the control components. It may be necessary to adjust the control components. Regularly control the control components of the monitoring function. If errors should occur in the monitoring control unit, the cause of the fault has to be determined NSA plus en

29 Maintenance and care 9 Maintenance and care The Quick Change Pallet System is designed for minimummaintenance operation, so that opening and disassembly of the clamping modules is only necessary in exceptional cases. The operating time of the clamping system depends on the number of clamping cycles and the operating conditions. After appr. every 500,000 clamping cycles maintenance work should be done. Thereby every wear part (seals and bearing shells) has to be exchanged. ( 11, Page 31) CAUTION Risk of injury and risk of damage to the clamping module when opening the housing cover. If the clamping module has to be disassembled, ship the module to SCHUNK for repair. The covers of the clamping modules are spring-packaged may be removed only by trained personnel. In order to maintain proper function of the system please consider the following notes: Pressure medium:compressed air, compressed air quality according to ISO :7 4 4 NOTICE The air supply must be done via a separate maintenance unit with oiler. Make sure that the bearing surface of the interface is always clean. Please arrange the necessary, so that chips of any type can t get into the interface. For operation, only high-quality coolant emulsions with rustprotection additions should be used. The same as stipulated for the machining centers. Regularly inspect the units (at least every 2 weeks or after 1000 clamping cycles). A proper function is assured, if the clamping bars and the lifting pins are moving smoothly at minimum pressure (5 bar) without jerks NSA plus en 29

30 Maintenance and care / Trouble shooting Regularly inspect the system visually and control proper function. In case of visible damages or signs of malfunction, please stop the operation immediately. The system should not be started up again, before all the damages are repaired by exchanging the damaged unit.
