Clamping The Wheel - TECO 36 Special Manuel D'utilisation

9.4. CLAMPING THE WHEEL

Keep your hands and other body parts away from moving parts of the machine while
moving the wheel locking wedges.
If the wheel weighs more than 10 kg, with a lifting frequency of more than 20
wheels/hour, it is recommended to use a lifting device (optional).
- Position the operating arms in the "non-working"
position (tool at the top and the horizontal arm
completely retracted).
- Turntable jaws opening and closing is carried
out by sequentially pressing the control pedal
(Fig. 18).
- With the jaws completely closed, lightly press
the control pedal
central position (Fig. 18).
In this configuration, it is possible to carry out dead-man control of jaws opening and then
stop them in the desired position.
- If the rim is blocked from the outside (Fig. 19a), pre-position the locking wedges using the
references of the diameters shown on the turntable and the notch on the jaw (Fig. 19b).
E.g.: Rim 18", pre-position the jaws making the notch match with value 18".
- If the rim is blocked from the inside (Fig. 19c), it is not necessary to pre-position the locking
wedges. The very shape of the wedge brings the rim to be locked into the correct position.
- Place the wheel (with the narrow shoulder of the rim facing up) on the turntable,
- Push it slightly downwards and operate the control pedal to lock the wheel in position
(fig.20).
