ETP HYDRO-FIX SOPERATING INSTRUCTION

For Swiss type

Lathes

DESCRIPTION

Versions:Front activationHYDRO-FIX S clamps around the tool and simultaneously inside the static block/holder for a perfect centering. DO NOT use set screws - this will damage HYDRO-FIX S.

Back activationHYDRO-FIX S clamps around the tool. The static block´s set screws are used to clamp on the milled flat of HYDRO-FIX S, after adjusting the length of the assembly.

Stop plug with coolant - to be ordered seperatly.

With 4 flats

Information:

Tolerances Tool shank tolerance of h6 or h7 can be used.Recommended tolerance of the static block/holder - H7.Pressure screw Max. recommended tightening torque is marked on the ETP HYDRO-FIX S. Use a fixed torque wrench.

ETP HYDRO-FIX S clamping sleeves are excellent for static front & back drilling operations. With the one screw fix system it is quick and easy to handle. Precision hydraulic tool centering is achieved and therefore the tool life and setup time is improved. The clamping system allows for larger/deeper drilling, quick tool changes, absorbs/reduces vibration, improves surface quality and best of all: increases your productivity!

1. Clean all contact surfaces between the tool shank, reduction sleeve (if used), HYDRO-FIX S and static block /holder thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol. This is to remove any dirt, oil or rust preventative (from storage) and ensure a good contact surface.

2. Slide HYDRO-FIX S into the static block. Always ensure HYDRO-FIX S is pushed flush against the face of the static block. Slide the tool shank into HYDRO-FIX S. Always ensure the tool shank is fully inserted. DO NOT use set screws - this will damage HYDRO-FIX S.

3. Mount the tool shank and HYDRO-FIX S by tightening the pressure screw to the recommended tightening torque, marked on the sleeve. Use a fixed torque wrench.

Assembly instructions - Front Activation version

After cleaning per step 1 above:

2. Slide the tool shank into HYDRO-FIX S. Always ensure the tool shank is fully inserted. Mount the tool shank by tightening the pressure screw to the recommended tightening torque, marked on HYDRO-FIX S. Use a fixed torque wrench.

3. Slide the assembly into the static block. Establish the length that the assembly will stick out of the static block and use the set screws of the static block to locate/tighten on the milled flats of HYDRO-FIX S.

Always use a torque wrench for best tool holder performance and repeatability.

Torque too high - may cause screw damage.

Torque too low - may cause tool vibration, tool movement, affects surface and tool accuracy.

Clean all contact surfaces between the tool bar (TB), HYDRO-FIX/ECOGRIP (HF/EG) and toolholder (TH) thoroughly.

Tool bar recommendations: We recommend the use of cylindri-cal toolbars. For non cylindrical tool bars always use a collet to avoid plastic deformation of HYDRO-FIX/ECOGRIP.

Assembly instructions - Back Activation

ETP HYDRO-FIX S is a hydraulic high precision clamping sleeve and should be handled with care for optimal performance.

HANDLING

Before inserting a tool, check for damages on the tool and clamping sleeve. Never tighten the pressure screw of HYDRO-FIX S unless it is fully assembled according to instructions.Tools should be of correct dimension and tolerance (h6 or h7), and cleaned.Do not use force to insert tool or clamping sleeve, they should easily slide in position.All HYDRO-FIX S clamping sleeves can be used with reduction sleeves when needed.Mount tools and clamping sleeve by tightening the pressure screw to the recommended tightening torque, marked on the holder. Use a fixed torque wrench.When stored, lubricate HYDRO-FIX S with a thin oil for corrosion resistance.Do not use HYDRO-FIX S at working temperatures above 85 degrees C / 185 degrees F.(This may increase the pressure in the clamping sleeve and influence it negatively).
