AD0525

Introduction

This procedure outlines how to install the TRT Pneumatic Vise.

Make sure the TRT Air Clamp Provision [1] is installed before performing this procedure.

Installation

1

First remove the port plugs [1].

Next, install the 2-013 o-rings [2].

Note: If the vise is ever removed, plug the ports with 1/8 npt plugs to prevent contamination of the air system.

2

Verify the orentations of the vise ports [1] and the union ports [2] line up with each other.

Note:  The vise has two ports with different holes to ease with identification.  It is important to have proper orientation for correct clamp/unclamp action.

3

Install the vise bolts [1] and torque them to 60 ft-lbs or 80 N-m.

4

Remove the plugs [1].

Install 90° compression fittings [2] where the plugs were removed from.

Note: If the TRT is removed from the machine, plug ports with 1/8 npt plugs to prevent contamination of the air system.

Manual Air Clamp Provision - Verification

1

Perform this step if you have the Manual - Air Clamp Provision.

Toggle the air switch and make sure the vise actuates correctly.

Note: The AUX 1 port will act as clamp and the AUX 2 port will act as unclamp.

Automatic Air Clamp Provision - Verification

1

Perform these steps if you have the Automatic - Air Clamp Provision.

Press SETTING and set Setting 276 Workholding Input Monitor to 15.

The clamp force of the Pneumatic Vise can be adjusted by adjusting the Air Regulator[1] on the Clamp/Unclamp solenoid. The higher the pressure, the greater the clamp force.

Verify the pressure switch functions by running the spindle in MDI: M03 S100;

Lower the air pressure all the way by turning down the regulator until the machine alarms with Alarm 180 Fixture Not Clamped. Adjust the pressure back to the desired pressure.
