1.3 Intended Use
Use the tool-grippers only for the intended use. Insufficiently clamped tools or work-pieces, failure
to comply „safety and accident prevention regulations“, and the use of work-pieces and our
products on machines that are not intended for this propose, can result in personal injury and
damages to the clamping devices. In this case, we shall assume no liability. Do not apply force
during assembly, disassembly and operation; this could damage the clamping device or the
machine.
1.4 Initial start-up
A function check is implicitly before initial operation of the tool-gripper. To ensure a safe and
precise operation of the tool-gripper during machining, a sufficient clamping force must be
provided. Check the clamping force.
See: Checklist for Installation p.6
The tool-gripper, especially the function surfaces must be clean and lubricated sufficiently. It is
strongly recommended to grease with suitable assembling grease.
Never exceed the axial and radial forces specified on the tool-gripper.
Check the clamping force regularly!

1.5 Checklist for Installation
1.) Tool –“Eject” max. 1.0 mm. The tool is only drawn in securely by the tool gripper in this
range. Ensure that the clamping reserve is min. 2 mm and max. 3 mm.
2.) Check the clamping force. The max. pull-in force, Fz max. , must not be exceeded.
3.) Tool clamping must not be one-sided. Guide the disc spring stack accurately.
4.) Spindle receiver must meet DIN 69871 /72 standard and Ortlieb installation dimensions.
Functional surfaces hardened min. 1mm deep to HRc 60
+2.
5.) Observe the control operation.
Insert the tool until it reaches the limit stop at the draw-bolt plane surface, then clamp it.
Clamping must not de done too soon, as otherwise the clamping segments are not
disengaged can properly and can be damaged.
6.) Tool change: Grip the tool – eject – unclamp - blow-out. Make sure that the tool and
spindle are clean. If chips are drawn in, clamping segments will sustain damage.
(One-sided overloading of the clamping segments).
7.) If one clamping segment breaks, the tool will nevertheless be clamped safely. However
the tool-gripper must be exchanged immediately as a complete unit.
8.) The tool-gripper is a part which is subject to wear. Under favourable operation conditions,
the complete tool-gripper must be exchanged every 1x10
6
load alternations. We do not
assume liability and guarantee on consequential damages in case only parts are
exchanged.
9.) Refer to the Mounting instructions p.11 for information about how to change the tool-
gripper! Before installing the tool-gripper, check the spindle for damage. Grease the
functional surfaces.

10.) For optimal drawing-in force, RPM
max.
and n
max.
, please refer to data on the installation
drawing.
11.) Tools must meet DIN 69871 /72 standards.
12.) Without an HSK tool insert, there is no operation of the spindle allowed. (Out-of-balance!)
13.) After every crash, the tool-gripper must always be exchanged completely.
14.) The clamping force transmitted to the tool shank by the tool-gripper may not be below the
incident machining forces and torques. It is also important that the functional surfaces and
the clamping system are greased regularly (Metaflux lubricant metal paste)
Based on experience, re-greasing should be done after every 200.000 load alternations
at the least in order to keep the clamping force as uniform as possible. Regular
measurement of the clamping force, either quarterly or semi-annual, will ensure the
required safety for the work process. (See p.12)
15.) Check the tightening of the draw-bolt and the drawbar regularly to ensure a proper
function of the tool-gripper.
A loose draw-bolt causes a loss of clamping force and ejects the tool far over the allowed
max. 1,0mm.

2 Product description
The Ortlieb tool-grippers for tool shanks with 7/24-taper are an approved serial product for
automatic tool changing. They are clamping tools with ISO taper (7/24) and pull studs acc.
DIN 69871/72. The six-piece clamping segment has an optimal load balancing. Therfore a higher
permitted clamping force is possible. And this at faster cyles.

Function:
Milling spindles on machine tools are usually fitted with conventional spring loaded tool clamping
systems. The tool-gripper operates on pulling force.
The six-piece clamping segment is pulled by the draw-bolt into the machine spindle. The clamping
segment catches the pull stud of the tool and pulls it into the spindle whereas the clamping
segments are backed radial by the spindle-bore.
To change the tool, the disk springs were compressed, usually by a hydraulic cylinder. The draw-
bolt is pushed by the drawbar to the front, releases the clamping segments and pushes the tool by
force out of the spindle taper. The ring spring provides the opening of the clamping segments
which release the tool for changing.

4 Mounting instructions
The tool-gripper is usually mounted through the taper of the machine spindle. The clamping
segments are already mounted with the ring spring and the rubber shim to the draw-bolt.
- Make sure, that the machine spindle is cleaned completely and well lubricated.
- Drive the draw-bar in release position.
- Screw the complete tool-gripper onto the draw-bar of the machine spindle. Refer to the
installation measures (table: Technical Data p.9 or on the installation drawing).
- Handle the o-rings and sealings with care (O-rings optionally).
- The clamping reserve should be at least 2mm (possible stroke from clamping position).
Function:
- Clamping occurs on pulling, usually by disc-spring or a clamping-cylinder.
- The draw-bar pulls the draw-bolt with the clamping segments into the machine spindle.
During pulling, the segments were closed by the inner contour of the spindle, grip the pull
stud of the tool and tow it into the spindle till it fits form-locking.
- To change the tool, the disc-spring is compressed by a hydraulic, pneumatic or electric
cylinder. The draw-bar pushes the tool-gripper to the front, the clamping segments were
spread by the ring-spring and release the pull stud and the tool.
- Finally, the tool is pushed-out by force, when the draw-bolt hits the face plane of the pull
stud (about 0.5 mm stroke).
- The tool can be changed manually or automatically by a tool-changer.
- Pressure to the release cylinder must persist until a new tool is changed in safely.
Pay attention on optional driving pins and slot nuts

5 General Safety Instructions
1. Safety requirements to machines
-Do not rotate the spindle without a clamped tool.
-On a breakdown of the clamping power – unless not clamped by a laminated disc spring – a
signal must stop the machine spindle and the tool has to be clamped till a complete stop of the
spindle.
-After a power breakdown and on return of the power, a change over must not occur.
-During operation, the spindle and the clamped tool must be secured by a safety facility.
-The opening of the safety doors is only possible if the machine spindle stands still.
-All operations and maintenance to the spindle and the tool-gripper are only allowed if the
spindle stands still.
2. Operation cylinders, machine spindles
To operate the tool-grippers, please use only appropriate cylinders according the safety and
accident preventions regulations. Mounting the tool-gripper to a spindle with an existing operating
cylinder, make sure that the release power is sufficient to release the tool from the spindle and the
maximum clamping force is not exceeded! The drawbar and the laminated disc springs must be
designed to endurance strength. Set and check the limit switch to check the stroke before initial
operations. The clamping segments might get damaged.
3. Operating data
The allowed operating data, maximum clamping force and maximum revolutions shown on the
technical data sheet (p.9) may not be exceeded. The minimum clamping force depends on cutting
rates.See DIN 69871 /72
4. Tools
Please use solely suitable tools according DIN 69871 with pull studs acc. DIN 69872,
ISO 73388/1+2, ANSI B5.50, MAS BT matching your machine (see Technical Data p.9).

5. Residual risks
The system machine tool – tool-gripper – tool holder is mainly influenced by the properties of the
tool (shape, weight, unbalance, material, etc.) as well as the cutting parameters which can cause
residual risks. Those remaining dangers must be considered by the worker and eliminated by
appropriate means.
6. Maintenance
Accurate and regularly maintenance (quarter annually) increases the natural life of the tool-gripper.
Please keep the following advices.
-Check set-up measurement and the tightening of the draw-bolt regularly.
-Check clamping force
-Clean the tool-gripper regularly according the operation conditions from swarf and cooling
lubricant. Dirt reduces the runout accuracy and reduces the clamping force.
-Do not use polar or ester-containing solvents to clean the spindle and the tool-gripper. Sealings
and the rubber-bonded parts could be damaged.
-Avoid cleaning with compressed-air gun.
-Re-grease the tool-gripper at least after 200.000 load alternations. Sufficient lubrication
increases the clamping force and reduces wear.
-Check the tool-gripper for cracks and other damages. After a crash, a complete check is
essential. You will find spare parts on page 10.
-Replace damaged parts only by original spare-parts. Otherwise guarantee is expired.
