Improper Use
If the collet chuck is operated for a purpose other than the intended use as
specified in this Operating manual, this is deemed to be improper use.
Any utilisation beyond the scope of the "intended use" poses risks and is
not approved by RÖHM.
Improper use refers to the following:
▪ Direct pointing of the coolant spray at the collet chuck.
▪ Use of the collet chuck with missing or damaged components.
▪ Use of an actuation device which does not maintain the clamping force
in the event of a power failure.
▪ Clamping of workpieces with a great imbalance.
▪ Operation without a workpiece, or with the workpiece insufficiently
clamped.
▪ Clamping of compressible workpieces.
▪ Clamping of excessively heavy workpieces (for bases of calculation, see
Röhm norm RN 1391).
▪ Clamping of excessively long workpieces (for bases of calculation, see
Röhm norm RN 1391).
▪ Removal of swarf during operation.
▪ Use of the collet chuck in potentially explosive atmospheres.
▪ Operation with insufficient maintenance.
▪ Using non-OEM parts as replacement parts.
▪ Use of the collet chuck for suspending loads.
▪ Operation outside of the defined operating parameters.
▪ Operation with modifications not approved by the manufacturer.
▪ Operation without effective safety equipment.
▪ Assembly of the collet chuck and accessory parts with incorrect tighten-
ing torque (see Checking the Tightness of Screw Connections
[} 87]).
