Note: The 4 digits on this text in reference to each work-piece correspond with the 4 digits in bold listed
at the end of the manual. XDDDDXXXX
A.- Function
This vice clamps the work-piece with hydraulic pressure and the jaw movement is activated mechanically.
It has a handle which manually moves the jaw towards and away from the work-piece.
In order to activate the high pressure, external oil (ISO VG 46) pressure is required. The clamping
power applied will depend on the initial oil pressure from this external source.
The vice operates with a single-acting system having a sole entry and exit port for the introduction of the
oil. The jaw recedes by means of a spring so as to unclamp the work-piece automatically.
The operation is simple. Considering that the vice has been designed to operate with series of pieces
of similar lengths, the working procedure is as follows;
- Bring the jaw to the work-piece by turning the handle,.
- Move the jaw back three millimetres.
- Connect the oil pressure which then activates the high pressure.
- Once the machining has been completed, the stop switch for the oil pressure will release the
work-piece and activate the automatic withdrawal of the jaw.
The vice is supplied with a fitting/adapter which is connected to the pump. The handle positioned at
the rotating fitting for moving the jaw manually.
B.- Cleaning
Because of the industrial working conditions on machines and in machining centres in which the vices
must work (swarf, pressure, coolants, etc.), full cleaning of the operational area of the vices must be
assessed as required by the workshop management.
To avoid interference from swarf, the spindle is protected by a metal spiral in the front and metal plates
in the back.
For complete cleaning, take off the moveable jaw and remove the 4 screws of the end clamp(handle
end). The spindle is loose and it can be taken out together with the spindle shoe. Now the vice is free
for cleaning. Oil the parts and carefully replace the parts in the reverse order. Open and close the vice
a few times to ensure it is free, before clamping work-pieces.
For good maintenance, please use good quality coolants and anti-oxidizing agents.
C.- Maintenance of the Oleo-Dynamic Spindle.
If the spindle does not clamp with high pressure, it should be disassembled and cleaned thoroughly
according to the following procedures;
- Carry out the cleaning instructions detailed in B so as to remove the spindle.
- Take out the safety ring (1013).
- Take out the washer (1018) which then releases the spindle. At this point, care must be taken
not to lose the four springs (1015). They must be well lubricated when reassembled.
- Remove the rotating fitting/adapter. To do so the spindle must be held tight at the cylinder
(1408), place the handle in its hexagon and rotate it with a certain force anti-clockwise.
- In a similar way, the elastic dowel pin (1415) and the scraper (1402) must be removed.
