Air Clamp Provision - Installation

1

 Warning: Zero return the unit before installing the air clamp union assembly [1].

Use the SHCS 10-32 [2] to install the assembly onto the unit. 

NOTE: The TRT160 will have x4 10-32 screws, while the TRT210 and TRT310 will have 3.

 

2

TRT160 and TRT210

The air clamp union should be installed in the correct orientation as shown. Auxiliary port 1 is denoted as [1] and auxiliary port 2 as [2]. 

3

TRT310

The air clamp union should be installed in the correct orientation as shown. Auxiliary port 1 is denoted as [1] and auxiliary port 2 as [2]. 

4

For TRT160's with equally spaced platter bolts, use the shown orientation with the aux 1 denoted as [1] and aux 2 denoted as [2].

5

Move the NPT plugs from the auxiliary ports below the unit [1] to the ports shown in position [2].

6

Install the copper lines and fittings as shown.

[1] Copper tubes (Part number will depend on TRT model)

[2] 58-2110 FITG LUBE COMP NUT BIJUR-M 5/32 (2x)

[3] 58-2100 FITG LUBE COMP SLEEVE 5/32 BRASS

[4] 58-1550 FITG LUBE BIJUR-F NPT1/8M STR BRASS

7

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

1

Follow this step for the Manual Air Clamp Provision Option.

Install the air switch [1], the switch can be mounted on the inside or outside of the machine via magnet.

Connect the air supply [3] to the air switch [1]. 

Connect the air lines from the switch [1] to the unit [2].

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

Automatic - Air Clamp Provision - Installation

1

Follow these steps for the Automatic Air Clamp Provision Option.

Connect the SS braided hoses [1] from the solenoid assembly to the 90° compression fittings [2] at AUX 1 and AUX 2.

Note: The install kits will no longer be shipped with colored zip ties. For reference, the red zip tie denotes clamp, and the green zip tie denotes unclamp.

2

Solenoid 30-13112 UNCLAMP/CLAMP:

 Warning: E-Stop and turn off the machine before any electrical installation

Remove an NPT plug from the air manifold inside the lubrication cabinet and install the solenoid [1] to the air manifold into the location APC DOOR INTERLOCK/PROGRAMMABLE AIR shown on the AIR - LUBRICATION SYSTEM - PICTORIAL.

Connect the red hose to the top fitting [2] and connect the green hose to the bottom fitting [3].

Note: The install kits will no longer be shipped with colored zip ties. For reference, the red zip tie denotes clamp, and the green zip tie denotes unclamp.

 Note: The ports that these hoses are installed to will determine if the vise remains clamped when power is cut to the machine. Test at end of installation.

Plug cable 33-0631 in at P50 on the I/O board. Plug the other end of the cable into the APC Door Interlock/Programmable Air location on the solenoid bracket.

Plug the solenoid into 33-0631 at the APC Door Interlock/Programmable Air Molex connector.

Connect cable 33-0732 onto the pressure switch on solenoid 30-13112. Plug cable 33-0738 into P13 on the I/O PCB and connect the other end to cable 33-0732.

Foot Pedal Installation

VF/VM Models

Install the fool pedal cable on the hole located on the front skirt of the machine.

Note: If the foot pedal cable hole is not present, drill a 5/8" hole in the front skirt to install the foot pedal cable.

Route cable 32-1390 from P14 on the I/O PCB to the front skirt of the machine to connect to the foot pedal.

Note: To install the Pneumatic Vise, refer to the TRT Pneumatic Vise - Installation procedure.
