Requirements of the chuck jaws
When using special chuck jaws, please observe the following rules:
• The chuck jaws should be designed to be as low as possible.
The clamping point must be as close as possible to the housing
(clamping points further away cause higher surface pressures in
the jaw guides and can significantly reduce clamping force).
• Do not use welded jaws.
• Reduce operating pressure for higher clamping points.
• Mount accessories such as clamping bars or reversible gripping
jaws to the changing jaws with the proper torque (4,
Page 17).
Environmental and operating conditions
Required ambient conditions and operating conditions
Incorrect ambient and operating conditions can make the product
unsafe, leading to the risk of serious injuries, considerable material
damage and/or a significant reduction to the product's life span.
• Make sure that the product is used only in the context of its
defined application parameters, (3, Page 15).
• Make sure that the product is a sufficient size for the

The incorrect handling of disposal may impair the product's safety
and cause serious injuries as well as considerable material and
environmental harm.
• Follow local regulations on dispatching product components for
recycling or proper disposal.
Fundamental dangers
General
• Observe safety distances.
• Never deactivate safety devices.
• Before commissioning the product, take appropriate protective
measures to secure the danger zone.
• Disconnect power sources before installation, modification,
maintenance, or calibration. Ensure that no residual energy
remains in the system.
• If the energy supply is connected, do not move any parts by
hand.
• Do not reach into the open mechanism or movement area of
the product during operation.
Protection during handling and assembly
Incorrect handling and assembly
Incorrect handling and assembly may impair the product's safety
and cause serious injuries and considerable material damage.
• Have all work carried out by appropriately qualified personnel.
• For all work, secure the product against accidental operation.

• Stand clear of suspended loads and do not step into their
swiveling range.
• Never move loads without supervision.
• Do not leave suspended loads unattended.
Protection during commissioning and operation
Falling or violently ejected components
Falling and violently ejected components can cause serious injuries
and even death.
• Take appropriate protective measures to secure the danger
zone.
• Never step into the danger zone during operation.
Protection against dangerous movements
Unexpected movements
Residual energy in the system may cause serious injuries while
working with the product.
• Switch off the energy supply, ensure that no residual energy
remains and secure against inadvertent reactivation.
• Never rely solely on the response of the monitoring function to
avert danger. Until the installed monitors become effective, it
must be assumed that the drive movement is faulty, with its
action being dependent on the control unit and the current
operating condition of the drive. Perform maintenance work,
modifications, and attachments outside the danger zone
defined by the movement range.
• To avoid accidents and/or material damage, human access to
the movement range of the machine must be restricted.
Limit/prevent accidental access for people in this area due
through technical safety measures. The protective cover and
protective fence must be rigid enough to withstand the
maximum possible movement energy. EMERGENCY STOP
switches must be easily and quickly accessible. Before starting
up the machine or automated system, check that the
EMERGENCY STOP system is working. Prevent operation of the
machine if this protective equipment does not function
correctly.

Functional description of quick-change jaw system
Access Points for Changing Jaw Interface
The TANDEM KSP plus-BWM/KSP-LH plus-BWM clamping force
blocks come with a semi-automatic jaw quick-change system for
external workpiece clamping. Changing jaws can be locked in place
with a form-fitting diagonal pull without additional mounting
screws on the base jaw. The changing jaw is locked in place by a
spring-actuated failsafe mechanism. The retentive function of the
conical lock bolt ensures the jaw is always locked in place firmly
and at the same location. Each base jaw has four access points for
unlocking the changing jaws (see Fig. "Access points for changing
jaw interface"). A hexagonal screwdriver is used to unlock the jaw
when the clamping force block is in the "OPEN" position.
The changing jaw is unlocked with a one-quarter counter-
clockwise turn at one of the three access points on the side, or

from the top through a through hole in the changing jaw itself. The
changing jaw can then be lifted off inwards and removed.
The kinematics are automatically moved back into locking position
by a spring mechanism. The lock bolt also moves back out.
NOTE
: Be sure to only apply moderate force when turning the hexagonal
screwdriver. Do not strengthen the spring-actuated jaw locks with
additional force from the screwdriver.
Construction concept and dimensions of BWM system-
compatible changing jaws
The TANDEM clamping force block with BWM system can be
equipped with various changing jaws. The system is only designed
for O.D. workpiece clamping.

Function
20 04.00|1151449 KSPplus-BWM, KSP-LHplus-BWM |en
Changing jaw type: WTR
The WTR changing jaw is essentially a top jaw blank. The clamping
contour can be individually adjusted. The jaw steps can be milled
to a limited extent.
The clamping contour must be placed under clamping pressure.
Additionally, a spacer with sufficient clamping stroke reserve must
be clamped between the changing jaws.
Changing jaw type: WTG
The WTG changing jaw can be used with clamping bars and
reversible gripping jaws to clamp raw parts. The reversible gripping
jaws and clamping bars are suited for three or four-point clamping
of cylindrical and rectangular workpieces (see chuck jaw interface
design, (10, Page 51)).
The interface can be individually adjusted to the workpiece
dimensions with the WTG grid holes. The various jaw steps
combined with the grid hole distances allow virtually all workpiece
dimensions to be clamped within the limited clamping range.
