The clamping force on the part naturally decreases

In the same direction that you will hold the work piece

Clamps

The shields are weakening the clamps, but they're still holding.

And instead of throwing it out, people would think that's a krump move, that's a krump move.

To start, press tool release to unclamp the drawbar

get the clamps ready.

Klump, it's me.

Aluminum jaws are typically used to grip light weight or hollow parts where clamp force is low

The boring ring is now clamped at the center of the stroke

But don't exceed the manufacturer's specifications

Our program is set to cut at the nominal part diameter

You know, you create power, then you tame it. (Music)

In this case, the spindle drawbar will need to be set to the unclamped position during the tool removal

First, we need to choose whether we'll use aluminum or steel jaws

Counter clockwise, to bring the adjustable dowels inward slightly

Now Andrew uses a slow drying bluing compound to check if he needs to make another slight taper cut

The difference of 30 psi between these two pressures is not enough to cause problems on this particular part

I tell them to create a ball, and then you just use that ball of energy.

Shlubb and Klump were packing an arsenal.

The jaws will deflect away from the part

He finds a four thousandths of an inch (0.004 , 0.102 mm) space, so he will start by adding a 1 4000 taper to the jaws

Again we clamp the machined slug at 300 psi and although you might think

The result would be jaws that have very little travel remaining to grip the part, past the nominal diameter

Since the idea is to machine away material to correct the jaw inaccuracies

When the soft jaws are held tight for cutting, the master jaws should be at the middle of their travel

As you look at your setup, visualize the direction you will be clamping in

Andrew cuts the taper in the jaws With the taper cut and the work piece clamped at full pressure

The Air Line must have an inner diameter of at least a half inch (1 2 ), or 13 mm all the way from the source to the Machine

To demonstrate a more extreme scenario we move on to these tall 4 inch aluminum jaws

With the bore for our plug complete

These slide along the slotted ring body during adjustment

Laboratory clamps make it easier to hold many kinds of tools.

And lock in place against the ring when the jaws are clamped

They were bored very deep, at a clamping pressure of only 50 psi

Each jaw is pushing with 19.6 kilonewtons of force, or thirteen thousand pounds of total force

This is done so that the arm doesn't try to pull the tool out of the spindle while the drawbar is still clamping it

The air line must have an inner diameter of at least 1 2 (13mm), all the way from the source to the machine

To do this, unclamp the jaws and rotate the threaded body of the boring ring to adjust the position of the grippers

Next we have these short aluminum jaws, cut with a 1.5 inch deep bore, also at 100 psi

And for variations in work piece size when the jaws are used later in production

Come on, she's been under too long.
