GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR EOLO-MAT VICE
INTRODUCTION
The eolo mat vice is supplied ready for operating, packed in a wooden case.
This case can be used for storage when the vice is not being used.
The following standard accessories are included :
- Set of 4 clamps.
- Set of swarf protection sheets.
- Set of valves for controlling the vice.
A. OPERATION OF THE VICE
This vice is specially designed for small batches or large production runs, requiring continual
clamping & unclamping operations.
The vice uses compressed air for pneumatic hydraulic operation to achieve high clamping
pressure.
The vice needs to use dry "shop air" via filtering and lubricating unit at 6 bar pressure.
The vice does not need a handle. The movable jaw can be moved by manually turning the
hydraulic cylinder, to move the jaw forwards turn clockwise, to reverse the movement turn
anticlockwise. The correct working position, is the workpiece thickness plus 4 mm.
When the movable jaw is correctly positioned in relation to the workpiece, the manual valve
can easily be operated for the movable jaw to move to the workpiece and clamp with high
pressure.
When the work operation is completed, operating the manual lever again, exhausts the air
pressure and the movable jaw retracts and releases the workpiece. A new workpiece can now
be loaded and the same procedure can be repeated for the rest of the workpieces.
The eolo mat high pressure spindle has two independent parts. The pneumatic
cylinder incorporates the control valve, and inside the vice body is the threaded spindle and
hydraulic pressure intensifier assembly.
B. CLEANING/MAINTENANCE
Due to environment centres in which this production vice will be operated (swarf, coolants,
etc.), day to day general cleaning of the vice and slides area must be performed. Protection
sheets are provided to minimise the ingress of swarf. The operation of the vice may be impaired
if the vice is not cleaned regularly, particularly the vice slides. The movable jaw must be allowed
"free" movement.
If in the assessment of the Workshop supervision the vice conditions requires a full cleaning,
proceed as follows. To dismantle for cleaning, remove the screw in the centre of the movable
jaw. Carefully remove the jaw by lifting, taking care not to mislay the half-ball that is inside.
Loose the 2 screws in the vice body end block and the 2 side screws at the fixed jaw end of
the vice. The spindle is now loose and can be taken out at the rear together with the spindle
shoe.The spindle can now be cleaned, afterwards oil the parts and carefully replace the parts
in the reverse order. When fully assembled operate the vice "open and close" a few times to
ensure it is free, before loading with workpieces.
To ensure efficient operation and to minimise maintenance the use of good quality coolants
and antioxidizing agents are recommended.
