Clamps

get the clamps ready.

Klump, it's me.

Counter clockwise, to bring the adjustable dowels inward slightly

In the same direction that you will hold the work piece

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

The clamping force on the part naturally decreases

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With the bore for our plug complete

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

These slide along the slotted ring body during adjustment

Shlubb and Klump were packing an arsenal.

But don't exceed the manufacturer's specifications

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

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

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

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

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

At higher holding pressures the ring would begin to distort during clamping

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

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

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

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

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

Also visualize the amount of force you will be clamping with

Conversely, ID gripping jaws should be positioned just slightly larger than the work piece inner diameter

Lay the power cable out on top of the machine to visualize how it can best be routed through the existing cable channels to the control cabinet connect the power cable to the lights and attach the cable to the machine using the provided cable clamps

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

The jaw grippers are now facing outward

Boring the jaws this way will hold the plug in the best possible manner

Our program is set to cut at the nominal part diameter

Using this specific type of grease, clamping force can diminish by 50 or more

It is also possible that the arm is stuck while gripping a tool that is still clamped in the spindle

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

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

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

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